It occurs to me that if we can find a internet feed for John's
baby that it might make a good August project for me to set up
the TLUG server and get some of the search functions working. We
could also move the majordomo list to it as well.

I've messed around with some Perl-based search engines that
'grep' through html files for keywords. That might be an
interesting place to start. It would also be interesting to see
if we could set up some sort of web type glimpse interface,
although I'm not sure exactly how to go about that.

Anyway, I'm willing to give it some time. The only thing is I
can't offer any help with the connection:-(
