Well, it's a little weird actually - I checked my cache, and
http://news.lugnet.com/favicon.ico was there, so I navigated to the URL (and it
displayed fine, including the icon in the address bar), and hit shift-refresh
for good measure, but it still wouldn't display on news.lugnet.com pages, even
if I bookmarked it. So I cleared my cache, and did shift-refresh, and now it
does display. I guess my cache copy got screwed up somehow, and shift-refresh
wasn't enough to fix it.
