Please stop by and see the show!  There is a ton of new stuff including a

PS - Email me any bug reports.  Next up will be pictures of the OMSI show in

Well, this isn't exactly a bug report, but...

I visited the pages. Everything I tried to look at, other than top-level
pages, was blank. I examined the page sources, and saw that they are 100%
JavaScript, which I virtually always have turned off. Way too big of a
security hole. Since I have other things to do today, I didn't bother
turning it on to see the pages.

Question: what on earth do you gain by making pages so dependent on a
buggy and insecure browser feature? What facility that JavaScript gives
you is so important that you *must* have it?
