Hey, thanks for posting that code. I'm neck deep in trying to customize my blog software at the moment, but I'll definitely mess with this when I'm done with that.

***bump again*** Anyone know anything about the new OSC book Empire due out in November?

So as not to look too pathetic with all of the bumping, there is another reason that I reposted. The TOR people changed the format of their html code again, so I re-rewrote the Perl code, which is very similar to how I had it before the last rewrite.

Thanks - it's pretty clear, actually, that it is a video game novelization. That's not too interesting to me (other than being OSC), so I guess I'll just go back to waiting for Rasputin then....
