I say kudos to CerealKiller! I applaud the ambition, the application and the execution. Lets have more of it. Any way anyone finds an actual track is a-ok with me. That is the point is it not? I on the other hand am still relegated to my same old eyes and my same slow hands....but then I wondered if...

Hmmm...you are certainlyright Starlake...sorting berries is vastly more mind numbing than posessing the somewhat amazing ability to publicly stick ones' foot effortlessly in ones' mouth. How is the fit by the way?

Clichés anyone?

Thanks Pete....I started to do just that, but I went on to check the site just now to see if it was still not loading before I started. Lo and behold.......everything is juuuust peachy again. Movies loading completely, usual delays, nothing odd. Either a bug resolved in my computer, a bug resolved o...

Thanks fjgiie. I probably do have it switched....but then it is even weirder, as I rarely click on a track unless I am absolutely sure it is there. The specificity literally went down over night. Something odd is going on with Firefox right now too...as it won't load at all. Its the only site that I...

lost specificity

Hi, I noticed that recently, the CM tracks have gotten smaller and fainter. Not a problem in finding them, but a problem has arisen for me in clicking on them. I work on a 12" laptop. Small screen. Apparently, this has made me hopelessly innacurate in clicking on the teeny tiny CM tracks, no ma...

Exactly, It really surprised me when it closed off the lead hole and became the mounting. I have to get it to where the diamond goes in face first at a planned angle so that the diamond displays properly. Then I can set the gel in paneled glass to display it. Miniature of course. Pendant is what I h...

Aerogel arrived yesterday. One small piece, and a tube of bitty chunks. Interesting. Gel is like aerated glass. Clinks like glass. wipes off like glass. Absorbs any and all moisture and leaves your hand feeling sucked dry...... Not at all like glass. I wet a finger and touched it to the surface. Lef...

X apparenty marks the spot in this one... http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ ... =5175935V1 Wish it was marking a track. I do like the little "eyes" that appear over the top of it.

I have only ever used one window. I opened two windows once, just to see what everyone else was trying, but immediatetly found it too distracting. I use the load time to look.

minkiemink, ll2425: too late. A company called Aerogem already has aerogel jewelry! Smile Pretty cool. The AeroView shows the aerogel, but the FusionX Magnum (with aerogel) looks better. Hey Net.... That's not jewelry, thats a glorified keychain. You wait....<grin>! I ordered some yesterday. Woo ho...
