Jake,

OK, so I'm looking at the NCBI Pubmed Screen Scraper page at simile, I click
the coin icon on the lower left corner of the window, the URL in the address
field on top then reads:

http://127.0.0.1:1978/piggy-bank/b2d9186b92baec9dd3e7ec71475ec7bf/model11422
91441072

So, it looks like _something_ is happening locally. However, after waiting a
few minutes I don't see any disabled gear icons anywhere, and in the lower
left the coin icon is gone, nothing there. Did I follow your instructions
correctly?

Thanks again,

Brian O.
