Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

At the same time, it sought to preserve elements of the canonical 2001 Edition published by Eastgate Systems, Inc. For example, the landing page retains the image of the pig that graced the cover of the jewel case from the 2001 Edition. The typeface of the work's title and author's name, though updated to a Google font, maintains the zany feel of the original. The psychedelic swirl of color used in the background recalls the drug-induced humor that marks this hypertext novel as one of the only comedies published by the company and has made it one of the most beloved works of the period.
