I assume the following feature is meant to preserve database integrity?

I had emplode open and connected to my empeg. I then pulled the plug on the empeg and plugged it back in, just to see Tux wave again. Then I tried a sync, and got a message about an invalid cookie.

Yup, you shouldn't pull the plug on an open session and then try to synch.

In older versions of emplode, that activity would have given you really bad errors, at least in 2.0 it's got a nice clean message.

It warms the cockles of my heart to know that people are cycling the power just to look at Tux (even the sub-cockle area, for you Dennis Leary fans).

To save wear and tear on your power plugs, remember that you can get the player to reboot simply by sending or deleting custom logos with my logo editor.

I have actually called people over to my desk to check it out. Very cool.

That feature is also a part of a basic password protection system (to prevent casual network access to your unit via emplode) which hasn't been implemented on the player side yet. I believe it is likely to make a 2.x release.

I have an extra power strip on my desk for this exact purpose - it has an on/off switch and only the empeg is plugged into it. The switch has seen more use in the last 10 minutes than in the preceding month or two. Very cool, indeed!

I think it was Carol Burnett who said, "...and there's nothing worse than a heart full of cold cockles!"

Of course - you won't HAVE to use a password!

Yep.

I had emplode open and connected to my empeg. I then pulled the plug on the empeg and plugged it back in, just to see Tux wave again. Then I tried a sync, and got a message about an invalid cookie.

In the future I hope to fix it so it moans about the cookie if the database was actually changed, as opposed to just potentially changed.
