I am so proud of me! I've finally learned enough about perl and cgi scripting and such to feel confident about installing and configuring a script on my own. I've been wanting a search function for this site for a long, long time, and since there was a great deal of free time in my day today, I went to Matt's Script Archive and got Simple Search.

At first I set it up to search my entire site, but between the immense size of my site, the modesty of the server, and the, uhm, interestingness of perl, it took a looooooong time for the search to run. So I made copies of the script for each of the major journals, and I tied them into one centralized search page.

Heh, I know I am disproportionately thrilled. This is a simple thing. It is for my geek friends to laugh. I am such a wannabe. I am not even in the larval stage, but I don't care. Slowly, slowly, I am getting there.
