Is there a way to upload information from a site onto the CLI?

In other words.....upload the daily information from HERE That way you know what to do that day

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: You'll need a script to do that. One example of how this is done is in zarqon's dailydungeon where he parsed the daily dungeon information from that page. He solved the problem like this:

Code:
boolean fetch_roomdata() {
   string url = visit_url("http://www.noblesse-oblige.org/calendar/daily_"+today_to_string()+".html");
   if (!contains_text(url,"<h3>Daily Dungeon</h3>"))
      return vprint("Noblesse Oblige's daily dungeon info is not yet available today.","black",-2);
   url = substring(url,index_of(url,"Room ")+5,index_of(url,"Room 10"));
   string[int] chunks = split_string(url,"Room ");
   if (count(chunks) != 9) return false;
   foreach i in chunks
      p[to_int(substring(chunks[i],0,3))] = substring(chunks[i],index_of(chunks[i],": ")+2,index_of(chunks[i],"<"));
   return (count(p) == 9);
}

Obviously, similar logic could tell you almost anything else you wanted to know.
