Originality, what's that?

Because I lack any and all skills, and I like the format of the SIT anime club page news section, I'm going to eventually try to add (into the script of course) functionality that will index all of the dates times and put a name's on them so you can access each post from a link at the top. This might be more applicable to do for just once a day; since adding a post is so simple I'd probably write a few small rants rather than one large one per day, but the only problem is by doing that the script would become vastly more complex.

I suppose if I was really smart, I'd just learn PHP, but our servers don't allow it. When I order a cable modem sometime next month(after I get a paycheck), then maybe I'll redo the whole thing in PHP. As I've seen it, it seems to be a bit like Perl; which is a mix of the two things I know best; Shell scripting and C++.

With PHP im sure I could get away with all sorts of neat real time HTML generation; but instead I'll settle for a simulated environment where most of the source is generated by scripts; It'l make it look a little cleaner than my normal source, at least.

Depending on how much inane, useless rantage I do, this section could grow too large to do any type of quick conversion, and SED might be called in to do some dirty work. Hoo boy. Its time for sleep.
