Ain't that just the way?  Keepin' a brutha down.

Anybody doin' rails Ajax stuff?  I'm tryin' ta bust out a rails app with
some script.aculo.us ajax where I loop thru results & write javascript to
the DOM using setTimeout... but it ugggggleeee!  Right now, I'm writing
javascript functions with large random numbers appended to the butt-end of
the function name, and a subsequent call to that function delayed by
incrementing setTimeout delays.  Whoa, she ugly.

Man, I do not wanna tell half you chicken heads where it is, especially
Mark, but it's here:

As I described it to Tim, it's The Seinfeld of websites, about nut'n in
pa-tic-a-lar, just a sort of stream of consciousness about nothin'.  Kinda
like craigslist meets Web 2.0.  The CSS looks like Barnum & Bailey got hit
by a semi, but I'm working on that.  Also trying to get an RSS piece up &
running when they ain't nobody there... I might even bring back my famous
robo-chat fake-O-matic where it looks like there's always a couple a
losers chatting even when there's noone there at all.  Man, that was
sweet.

So go.  Then lemme have it.  But not like Tim criticism, more of a kinder
and gentler criticism... kinda like gettin hit in the mouth with a bat. 
And to reiterate... it's still BETA!  some stuff is non-functional, like
the RSS... which you don't see till you log in.  Yeah, yeah... you gotta
register to add stuff... cuz there will ultimately be an editing function,
so you can change your stuff.

Go now!  KITTY MAU!  I'll be checking the logs, and punishing the Unworthy...
