It's a pretty nasty hack. I threw it together in about 30 minutes at
my friend's house. I want to create a sql db so it is not so fetchy,
and support multiple regions/orientations. I can tell you that it is
merely a shell script and a PHP front-end. Do you really want to see
the code nastiness?!?!

"It has been just so in all my inventions. The first step is an
intuition--and comes with a burst, then difficulties arise. This thing
gives out and then that--'Bugs'--as such little faults and
difficulties are called--show themselves and months of anxious
watching, study and labor are requisite before commercial success--or
failure--is certainly reached" -- Thomas Edison in a letter to
Theodore Puskas on November 18, 1878
