Hehehehehe. :)

I use Trillian with it's Weather plugin. LOVE IT. Though I'd prefer if
everything I could ever want to do was in DQSD, sometimes you just
gotta use those 'other' programs.

I really think we oughtta make the change in search.htm again. Before
you all respond, please hear me out...

Kinda like how we modified the code for search.htm to provide the
'alternate viewport' ability (which I now use *every single day* with
one of my searches) - providing a 'trigger' method that occured every
'cycle' duration would be a really cool option. What we'd do is gut
the current clock update event and move it into a separate function,
add a new variable for the function to call on the 'clockupdate' cycle
(like 'clockevent'), which would then be set to default to the new
clock updating method.

People could add a pref to set "clockevent = 'myrss()';" (or whatever)
and it'd perform that function instead of updating the clock, every
clockupdate ms.

Simple searches would gain access to these abilities without having to
be coded as an addon. Don't get me wrong - though I love that addons
*can* be done, and have more abilities than simple, or complex even,
searches, I'm not fond of relying on addons for what I believe should
be basic functionality.

I'd be happy to make whatever conversions were necessary in the code
to make this happen. Just let me know that a consensus believes this
is a reasonable solution.

IIRC, Kim mentioned something to the effect that the CVS-Web was not
being updated regularly. This is an SF problem. All in good time. :|
