I really should try to post more than once a week, but that whole "school" thing keeps cropping up. I managed to get really behind on it in the course of last week by instead finishing the long-awaited (by us, anyway) "Goats: the search". We'll probably publicly announce, and start linking to it tomorrow.
On the back-end it's using the really cool DBIx::FullTextSearch module, which is cool, because the text for the forums and the news was nicely in little text blocks in the database, whereas the text for the strips is about 3 tables removed from the ID for the strip itself (strip->panel->character->text). The original database was started by one of our readers, which was neat..if we could get more of them doing stuff like that it could only be good for us...and save me a lot of time too.
