miniBrowser -- preserving cookie across sessions?

TiddlyWiki) for which I am using the Slideshow plugin. All is
reasonably hunky dory expect for the way in which miniBrowser treats
cookies.
Many of the slides have a miniBrowser display (ubercool way of showing
a live site by way of illustration) but since this is an authenticated
system I have to login for each miniBrowser instance. Just as the
browser only stores a single cookie for a site so allowing two tabs to
the same site but logging in only once, it would be nice if
miniBrowser were to permit this. Save me a lot of hassle having to log
in each time I use the Elgg site.

This is not a technical comment, at least not TiddlyWiki-wise, and I'm
more of a lurker than a user at this point, but your implementation of
TiddlyWiki -- I gather there's more than that involved, but that's all
I'm even marginally capable fo commenting on -- and the pedogogical
ideas you're working with are impressive and appealing -- and also a bit
intimidating for a novice like me.
Maybe I ought to get started with TiddlyWiki myself.

plugins has sucked up countless hours of fun. It is interesting how
the whole Tiddlywiki implementation helps to structure / restructure
concepts and think about how parts relate to the whole, and so on. For
example, when to use a separate tiddler and when to use inline
sliders. Use Notes or a separate tiddler. And so on. Thanks for your
comments though I had fun styling my presentation this weekend.

Particularly interested in this part of your response, Mark. My main use
of computers is for writing, and a lot of writing -- for me anyway --
is initially confused, exploratory, and very unstructured, with lot of
dead ends and other distracting stuff getting created in the process.
Then it's a matter of what I call "cooking down." It can go on a long
time. And the result can rarely be anticipated in advance.
My main tool is an ancient DOS application called MaxThink, which is
billed as an outliner, but that really doesn't do it justice. I'd call
it an "information and idea processor," except that sounds too
mechanistic. It helps me express and explore my intuitions without
getting in the way. The developer is a somewhat eccentric guy with
definite ideas about how software can be most helpful -- by helping us
capture, sort through, organize and reorganize, information and ideas,
not by focusing on making things look pretty -- that I agree with 100
percent.
I originally thought of TiddlyWiki as a replacement for another
application that I've been unable to find a replacement for on Linux, a
free form database application called InfoSelect. I've got all my
contact information going back to 1990 in it. But your saying you've
found TiddlyWiki useful for "structuring and restructuring concepts and
thinking" sounds more like the way I use MaxThink.
I'm concerned that the emphasis on coding and the appearance of things
and the need to do a lot of tagging would get in the way. I guess
there's only one way to find out.
Regards, and again, great work -- like many people here.
Sincerely,
