[Developers] wiggleback

Hi,

As some of you know I am a total hack but I managed to do a major revision
of an old app I wrote. It's www.wiggleback.com. The previous app was History
of a Day written with MJT. The new app is written in javascript and uses
jquery and the Yahoo Datatable. The datatable supports paging and greatly
improved performance. So the user sees data quickly while searches continue.
The app has to search the specified day for every year. I new feature
trickling through metaweb development is the ability to query dates like
"*-05-25". I get data for all years because I want to give the user filters
on existing data. Another new feature is a display of data in the form of
3x4 cards. I've printed them on card stock and cut them to give someone for
their birthday. How lovely to get a pack of incredibly obscure things that
happened on your birthday.

There are lots of ideas for enhancements. For starters, I need to get dates
in mediator types. I also want to display a photo collage. Oh, and I need to
get it working properly on IE. The last time I checked nothing displayed
until all queries returned. Let me know if you have any suggestions or want
to help.
