This is a search engine that contains information on Kuro5hin users that posted information about themselves in the Who Are You, Who Are You, Part 2, Who Are You? What Do You Do? and the Roll Call! (AKA Who Are You? Part 4) threads started on March 3rd 2000, November 2nd 2000, August 23rd 2001 and January 17th, 2001 respectively at kuro5hin.org

[update 8-27-2002] I recently added the What's It Like In Your Neck Of The Woods? story to the database.

A thorough description of how this search engine was created is available in this kuro5hin article.

Enter the name of a K5 user below and see if a post was made by that individual.
User Name:


The search engine is CASE SENSITIVE. So "Carnage4Life" will find my Kuro5hin user name while "carnage4life" will not.
The data for the page was obtained by using K5_reader.pl written by myself and wget.pl written by Matt Spong.
The XML files were stored in IBM's DB2 database in this table using K5DatabaseLoader.java while the page is dynamically generated using K5users.java
both written by me.

Javadoc documentation for both Java files can be found here.

NOTE: If you are a Kuro5hin user that would like to be added to this database simply post your 'Who Are You' comment to this story and your information will be added to this DB once I find time to modify the script to parse the current version of the K5 pages since the HTML has changed in the past few months.
