i am not able to get the current user id on javascript button

Hi ,
Here is the code for javascript button.
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/apex.js")}
var records = result.getArray("records");
var f = new sforce.SObject("Appointment__c");
f.id = "{!Appointment__c.Id}";
f.Fini_Status__c = "Appt Canceled";
var user = sforce.connection.getUserInfo();
f.Cancelled_By__c =user.getuuserid;
f.Cancelled_Date_Time__c=new Date().toISOString();
sforce.connection.update([f]);

If I do the following (in VisualForce) I get my current users' Id logged to the console

<apex:page>
     <script src="../../soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
     <script src="../../soap/ajax/29.0/apex.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
     <script type="text/javascript">
          sforce.connection.sessionId = "{!$Api.Session_ID}";
         console.log(sforce.connection.getUserInfo().userId);
     </script>
</apex:page>

I am guessing that you are using this as JavaScript in a button.  So you may need to add the sforce.connection.sessionId line such as

{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/29.0/apex.js")}

sforce.connection.sessionId = "{!$Api.Session_ID}}";
var records = result.getArray("records");
var f = new sforce.SObject("Appointment__c");
f.id = "{!Appointment__c.Id}";
f.Fini_Status__c = "Appt Canceled";
var user = sforce.connection.getUserInfo();
f.Cancelled_By__c = user.userId;
f.Cancelled_Date_Time__c = new Date().toISOString();
sforce.connection.update([f]);

You should have:

f.Cancelled_By__c = user.userId;

that should get you the user's id.

Hello pcon,

Now its working without  including "sforce.connection.sessionId".
Working only when ........      "f.Cancelled_By__c = sforce.connection.getUserInfo().userId"
Thanks for the help.

var records = sforce.connection.query(journystatus); 
var values = records.getArray('records'); 
var status = values[0].Customer_Status__c ; 

if(status == 'Approved')
