My iPod is full of classic Carlin, like this one. Thanks for provoking my thoughts and making me laugh the whole time.

Moment of silence for George Carlin.

I’m anxious to start writing about things other than updating you on the development of the site. However, some major hurdles have been overcome, and I can finally take that strikethrough off of the Portfolio link. Descriptions need to be written. Pieces still need to be photographed. My code needs more error checking. I liken the site right now to a student finishing Kindergarten — it can count to ten and use words to express feelings but still occasionally wets the bed.

A seasoned programmer would have had this done months ago, I know. Considering that I’ve built websites with database backends before, my wife also figured I would have had this done months ago. However, I’m a novice at best. This time, I wanted to to it right. I have PHP.net, jQuery.com, the CodeIgniter user guide and forums, and Google all open on any given Sunday.

The truth is, writing code is a leisure activity for me. Some people do crossword puzzles; I write MySQL queries. When real heavy lifting needs to be done, I leave it to the professionals.

More to come soon. And this week, I might even write about something else. How novel.
