Screenshot of MRJ Index

Here's a screenshot of my new MRJ Index as it looks at the moment, with a typical search listing displayed. There might be one or two tweaks to the visual interface yet but I though I'd post this here just to whet your appetites for what is to come!! Click on the image to see a larger version...

  1. Matt,

    As someone who spends many idle moments browsing MRJ backnumbers,it looks like a great product. I've used Charlie Harrison's index in the past but he doesn't seem to be updating it any longer. Any idea when you're planning to launch it or release a beta? And - as I'm a software developer - how have you done it?

    Regards,

  2. Hi Chris,

    Glad you like the look of it. I'm currently in the process of adding all the data (with some help from a willing volunteer), so as soon as that's all in the site will be ready for launch. Hopefully this will be in the next few weeks - depending on how fast I can type - so watch this space!

    As to how I've done it... if I told you that I'd have to kill you! But seriously, I've written it in PHP in conjunction with a MySQL database - nothing especially clever really. Mind you, trying to create a half decent search engine using MySQL has proved a bit of a challenge!

    Cheers
    Matt
