Content Management
Basic Search
The index generation is complete (bar a few kinks), and the content management system is done except for actual file uploads (subject to feedback from the RS mods). Searching has only just been started - you can do a basic search by title, but that's it.
I've also been messing around with the back end on my own site, in terms of headers and footers. This is the third iteration - the first one used multiply-nested include files up the directory tree to generate the navbar, but that got messy and inefficient, the second used content re-generation based on hints in the files - messy in a different way and repeating content everywhere. The latest version uses a generated include file for the header which generates the entire header programmatically, based on the URL being viewed. SSI vars provide the cues used to generate it and to provide titles and page names, and it also works for error pages, so these are now generated via the default apache 2 SSI-based error-handling.
And somewhere along the line I manage to find the time to watch a couple of movies. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is, as with the majority of sequels, rather less good than the original. There's still plenty of laughs (admittedly some of them at the expense of the effects), so not a completely lost cause. Singin' in the Rain, on the other hand, is an acknowledged classic of the musical genre. Set at the dawn of "Talking Pictures", it deals with how the industry - and the stars - cope with the transition. Great fun, and with a bunch of top-class song'n'dance numbers.
