The most recent updates do seem to have a serious problem. That's second on my list, so for now it's going to be sort of approximate.
new reports on echelon from wired.
this is another test

Just a note for everyone to remember about frames (I know, I know, but I sort of like them.) When posting links you have to specify a target="_top" in order to break your linked page out of the frame. i.e.:
<a href="someurl.com" target="_top">
I'm going to try to build something to put that in to links so we don't have to type it everytime. And in case you're wondering, the _top won't do anything if the link is from an unframed page.
finally got a hold of alex's machine, and was able to diagnose the cookie problem. This was the strangest most esoteric problem I've ever encountered (not the most difficult, but the strangest.) I'm sure nobody cares, but it had to do with designating a home page to automatically start up with when you open Navigator. The page was specified digitalmediatree.com (which of course works, because the browsers are smart enough to guess at the real address http://www.digitalmediatree.com.) Anyway, the cookie is sent to .digitalmediatree.com so that it will go to any page in the digitalmediatree domain (i.e., this.digitalmediatree.com or that.digitalmediatree.com, but since it was just digitalmediatree.com and not ...www.digitalmediatree.com, it couldn't find a .digitalmediatree. anywhere, and so it wouldn't take the cookie. Phew! These things can be so picky. Don't ask me how I found the cause, I'm not really sure. But now you know. Specifiy the whole address (http://...) when setting up preferences in your browser if you want to escape strange cookie problems.
i was trying to find something to contribute to test the contribute so i clicked on my open windows to see what i had been reading earlier before i went out. and then i noticed that the page was moving. and i had wondered why i had been prompted by a security alert that a microsoft plugin was necessary to proceed with what i wasnt sure. but now i see the ticker. nice but its twenty minutes delayed. ill take the datek realtime streamer. although i like the hypertext newsticker and the control variables. i saw cnbc was plugging some realtime ticker all weekend too. guess thats the next online trader app.
just filling in some data to test the category functions. This is a direct rip-off of (I mean, I was inspired by) memepool.
more in a series of endless tests. bwahahahah.
Had some unforseen problems with the cookies tonight. Those things are tricky. Hopefully that is worked out now. I'll try to get the discussion scripts going tomorrow, and then it'll just be a matter of making it all look/work better.
This is the ever progressing beta of the new main page. All functionality is local (i.e., this is the blogger replacement.) The guts are working with the exception of the discussion features, but none of the interface is finalized. The layout will definitely be changing.
