I don't see what's wrong beyond the errors it is already reporting. Also, why use such complicated urls?

Replying to @stevefaulkner and @SteveALee

comes out as November 2013 here. The weird way in which the page is served is preventing me to check the source.

Replying to @null and @SteveALee, @stevefaulkner

Ah, I can debug it more easily on my laptop. Indeed, that’s not a valid date.

Replying to @null and @SteveALee, @stevefaulkner

Just delete the previousPublishDate and you’ll be fine.

Replying to @null and @SteveALee

Also, don’t use title in the configuration, it’s already in the markup. And include a <section id=sotd> with some text.

Replying to @null and @SteveALee

I also recommend <table class=simple> over <table border=1>, but that’s more a matter of taste.

Struggling to compare the complexity of a completely random string of n bits, and of a space of n-dimensions each one bit in size, random.
I somehow feel that the linearity of the string gives structure that the other does not have, but if it has structure then it’s not random.

Replying to @Torlus

I would think so, but I can't make myself sure.

Replying to @tabatkins

hmm good point. I'm guessing the bits don't encode previous/next any more than the vector space. Thanks, I'll sleep better :-)
