Hey James... couple of things. First, my word isn't showing up, but it says it was saved. Second, is this the URL that Verbotomy Text will be located everyday? Or will the address change?
Clayton - 2007-06-25: 09:02:00
Hmm... buggy. Okay, scratch that. My word showed up, but now the other two words that were here are now missing, replaced by two different words. Very strange.
Hi Clayton, Yes I am in the middle of rebugging the system, so things may be a bit "strange" today...
Clayton - 2007-06-25: 09:38:00
Quite all right. I'm just a bit confused as to how to see the other words. Best of luck bugging out. =P
You can see the some of the words at: http://www.verbotomy.com/challenge.php and some others at http://www.verbotomy.com/verboticisms.php?jid=line. And so it goes...
