Jesse,

thanks a lot for your awesome work. After your updates everything is
working fine. :-)

For all interested, this is what you can do to test the updated version:

1) git clone git://github.com/choptastic/NitrogenProject.com.git --branch tests

2) cd NitrogenProject.com

3) make && make run

4) Go with your web browser to http://localhost:8000/demos/comet2

Regards,
Rainer
