system.verbs.builtins.op.console

First release of op.console, does console-type logging in an outline in scratchpad.log. Very useful when you don't have a debugger, yet.

The pings didn't show up in the blogroll. Now we're going to use the log on Andrew's server to see if they got the ping.

Rewrote the cloud element and the pinging code. The previous method was using xml-rpc and xml.rss.pingCloud and xml.rss.defaultCloud.getCloudElement. It was planning a bunch of generality that never got built on and in the meantime, I have a Node package that does a tighter job, hides a lot more of the detail in building a feed.

Changed the cloud server to rpc.rsscloud.io. the old server rpc.rsscloud.org -- i let it lapse for some stupid reason or so it turns out. ;-)

Second update. No changes to script code, just want to see if the new header values appear in the feed.

This is the first update. All I did was put an exclam at the end of Hello World. Let's see how the feed reacts.

Created. This is a script I will use to help test the rootUpdates mechanism. At first it will just be a Hello World dialog from Frontier.
