At this point I decided that since nobody seemed to be reading the updates page that it was silly to spend my time maintaining it. After awhile I found that the page did serve a purpose (if only to tell me what I did and didn't do). So, I started putting Today's updates on the main page, and archiving them on the updates page. After a month I'll put them here again.
