None of which answers his three explicit questions. There seems no information 
on how you decides what is "recent" in that page.

Does that link provide any information from your machine, because it sure 
doesn't give me anything but an invitation to write a page. Or was that another 
subtle comment like the reference to the man page which doesn't define what 
recent is, either.

I got a "server busy" on baseurl, can't say what that might do.
