I'm pretty sure this guy is not serious:) He's got some hilarious business plans for the web that he tries out on a pretty funny audience, in a sort of mock open-source vapor web business way. Huh? Try this one, or this one (loved that first feedback comment), or I think this is the first (last) one. Or is it just time to for me to log off?

You can also use the location: field in your browser (where the URL is) to enter commands to the system. For instance, you can force the database to think you've read everything presently on the system. Just hack off everything after the dmt2/ and type clear.php3 (digitalmediatree.com/dmt2/clear.php3). It will ask for your name and password, and then clear the database so the system thinks you have read everything. Maybe that's useful? I'm not sure.

Still looking for a graphic to replace the tree in a bottle that I'm very sick of. Forward any suggestions my way, or post a url below. Winning entry wins big big prize.

Security Alert. Massive hole discovered in Microsoft's implementation of javascript for Internet Explorer running on Windows. This hole allows a hostile web site to see the contents of your cookie jar. This is very bad. Protect yourself by turning off javascript. More info on my page here.

Tip of the day: If you are just starting out, the new system thinks that you have not read any of the posts (even though you may have read them on the old system.) When you click down into, say, the main page, and then reload the home page, it will still show tons of messages unread on the main page. This is because when you clicked down to read the main page, it didn't print out all the posts on the page (it only prints out the last two weeks.) All of the earlier posts are still marked as unread. If you regularly read the site this kind of thing won't happen, but becasue we transfered everything over it is a little weird. The answer is to 'reset' the system, by actually printing out ALL of the posts in that section. The [nested] option does just that (although the main page is so large that it takes quite a while to download.) Just do this once, and those annoying red numbers will be gone (until somebody posts something really new.) (Thanks to Alex for pointing out the possible confusion.) If you really want to go crazy, go here which will give you a nested view of the home page (0:1:) and therefore of everything on the site (go get a cup of coffee while it downloads though.) [update: yeah, I had to try it. 354k so beware. Although it's not as big as I thought. The whole database is over 7 megs now - but a lot is duplicated between the old and new sites.)]

Here's the malathion release, er, the press release about malathion, complete with non-functional link. This is the official notice. Seems there's no problem at all, but feel free to comment. Nice to have these folks looking out for us.
