The "updated" field is when it was *published*. At least that's what its 
intent was. It seems I need to change the label so that is apparent, and 
I need to add a new field to represent the data you want. Putting that on 
my TODO. Should have that done tomorrow.

I'm taking the night off to spend some time with my boyfriend, who is 
feeling rather ignored with all my Lampadas work lately. He now claims 
"Open Source Widow" status, hehe.

It is, but in decimal. I have to convert to octal on display, which I'm 
not doing yet. Put on the TODO.

Like that, huh? I thought you would. :-)

I didn't do any work on ScrollKeeper categories today at all. Instead, I 
put together the search form. It is not finished, but you can see how far 
I got on the demo site.
