Yeah, me either--I keep getting either (seemingly arbitrary) double prompts or "ajax errors" in Safari 5.0.3...

Yeah, definitely makes it much less fun. I've added filtering to address this.

That's a great idea. Right now it's using Wikipedia's random article generator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random) to drive content, but it would be cool to group by a given category.

Yeah, I definitely submitted this a bit early. I've added a fair amount of icon detection (no more search icons or books with question marks) and I've overhauled the interface so it's ajaxy and a good bit more fun to play. Thanks for the feedback!

Re:Cool stuff you can do with netcat

I spent a few summers at the National Institutes of Health building a DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) suite for the storage and retrieval of Nuclear Medicine and CT images. It consisted of a client and a server and was built completely in IDL. It used Netcat both to listen/respond on the server side and to issue queries and retrieve (meta)data on the client side.
Like others in this thread, I too received a few bureaucratic slaps on the wrist for doing unauthorized port-scanning during the development process (we were trying to find a set of suitable unused ports for the package). Apparently it was worth the trouble, though--it was nearly 10 years ago that I built the package, and the software's still in use!

You're telling me--of course this has to happen the day before client review of a major Facebook Connect site whose only authentication is via Facebook Accounts. We had discussed potentially having two types of accounts (Facebook- and email-based), but having two parallel authentication methods just seemed clunky. I guess this is the price we pay for trying to keep things simple...
