[SPEC] What are we missing?

[spaceXplorer]

nice site, dead weight. particularly useful for people like me who had to take a time-out from the game for a while.

looking at the sentinel site today, the date stamp at the top shows today's date - doesn't that normally mean that a new article has been added, or a section has been updated? I've looked through the whole site, but i haven't spotted anything, although perhaps i have just overlooked something

It seems the code' been updated sometime late last month to match the Sentinal's date with your computer's. It's automatic.

If you take a look at the source code for the authentication page it looks like there's nothing there to check whether you have a key or not (before anyone asks, when it mentions an object called 'skyscraper' it's referring to the tall thin advert at the right of the page - this is the common name for this shape of ads). This could mean 3 things that I can think of:

1. The default file loaded from the directory is simply the HTML file we see and they've left it on there because they've not yet come up with a way to connect to our keys (not surprising seeing as they don't exist in our world).

2. The default file is some sort of sneakily-hidden script that loads this page every time because I can't see any other way for us to pass any information to it.

3. The keys are checked some other way by the site from the moment you open it. Though I don't know how and I haven't noticed any unusual attempts to connect through my firewall.

Given all this, I think we're just supposed to wait ATM. The stories we've seen will probably become relevant later on.

Thanks spaceXplorer!

Just so everyone knows I think I'm caught up now. I've omitted the Corrections notes, but they're easily found in the mirrors, and there are basically only two messages, the email correction and the statement that there are no corrections.

I've put the futures in a different order there, even though I think it probably won't bring anything. As they're listed everywhere else by each week, I've put them by sign, in order within sign by week. Probably nothing but it seemed redundant to list them the same. The "Final Comments" section at the very bottom links via the date to each set of futures.

I've added the new information from today's update: the letters, the futures, the new pic, and the news articles including the new empty page. If I've missed anything feel free to let me know.

Alright, just an update - off to the other threads to play spec now!
