Much delayed by my lack of time, a
<a href="synops/048.html">synopsis</a>
of
<a href="guide/048.html">"Passing Through Gethsemane"</a>
is online.
<p>

<dt>December 10, 1995
<dd>
JMS's messages from
<a href="/lurk/ftp/America-Online/">America Online</a>
are now being archived (see the file "latest" for the current month's
messages.) They are also searchable via the
<a href="/lurk/search.html">Find</a>
page.
<p>
The
<a href="/lurk/ftp/History.Babylonia.html">history of Babylonia</a>
file has been HTMLified. Thanks to Hallvard B Furuseth.
<p>
Switched to the table-based Newsflash section on the home page.
The vast majority of responses were positive; the only complaints came
from users of NCSA Mosaic for X, which has had extremely broken table
support recently. However, such users can upgrade to the latest beta
release of Mosaic, which should make the Newsflash section readable.
Users of non-table-enabled browsers probably won't notice any
difference.
<p>
The
<a href="credits/041.html">onscreen credits</a>
for
<a href="guide/041.html">"Divided Loyalties"</a>
are online. Thanks to Dan Dassow.
<p>
<dt>December 7, 1995
<dd>
The flow of
<a href="/lurk/ftp/CompuServe/">JMS CompuServe messages</a>
should be back up to speed now.
<p>
<dt>December 6, 1995
<dd>
Some episode pages have been shuffled around in the past couple days.
If you select an episode and get a different episode's page, use
your browser's reload function and you should get the right page.
<p>
I'm considering a slight format change to the Newsflash section on
the home page. Have a look at the
<a href="lurker2.html">alternate version</a>
and let me know if you object. I know some people are pretty
religious about not using tables for formatting, but this <em>is</em>
tabular information. In particular I want to know if it breaks
anyone's browser; I believe I've structured it such that it'll look
fine on browsers without table support. (No need to tell me it works
in Netscape.) If you're using Mosaic for X, you might want to upgrade
to the latest beta release, which doesn't break horribly on tables like
the most recent previous releases have.
