I'm already going through the archives and setting up a personal database so I can find specific strips. I'm not super computer savvy so It's just in a spreadsheet format. It's going to take a heck of a lot of time. I'm also including important props like the chicken hat, and memorable phrases so I can find things like "The little unremembered acts of kindness" under a search for blue string. <br>a timeline of the smaller characters like Isolde woudl be easy to do after it's set up.<br>

I have SOME microsoft access under my belt, so if you'lld like, send me the exel sheet sometime and i'll make it into a searchable database....<br>the downside is that, well, its microsoft access! although, for such a simple thing, thats not really a problem <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>[edit] or, if i really wanted to impress a teacher of mione, i could programm a database i java. Would be a little difficult to implement, but with a linked list with separated points, like say, the two different art styles, or yearly, then i could create a linked list that would search through only what was needed. I might be able to do that, actually, considering I have some (very simple) code already set up for such a thing.
If you've done things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all.

Okay, if I do it the way I plan too it's probably going to be SLOW as, and there's a few more things that are going to be damn hard too.<br>So, I think I'd better make it with a different approch and design.<br><br>And if I do find a way that works, I'll need you guys to agree on the 'Hilarious' and the 'One liners' sections selections.

Thanks Foxchild. If I ever get it finished I'll bear that in mind. I've been joining in Find that clip and I really wish I had it done.<br>
