Ok, it's late. I'll try to keep this short.
1) I just realized that next weekend is the 4th or July. Do we have any plans?
2) I have been thinking a lot about the past and am thinking about ways to improve myself. This is a result of reflecting on the HS drama that has been discussed in various blogs.
3) Colin came over tonight. I helped him set up his domain atxproject.net. We BSed a while on our computers. He's going to lend me his new Cocoa book so I can get started learning this stuff. I want to have a basic understanding of OOP and the knowledge to make simple apps by the end of the summer.
4) Talking to Nick about Linux related stuff, I was reminded that I was interested in playing around with BSD. I'll have to try to remember that next time I rebuild this server it will be with BSD and not Gentoo.
5) Meri helped me find out that passwords longer than 12 characters do not work right here. They will get truncated. I will have to look around my code to figure out where this is happening and if I can fix it, and if I can't just put on the 12 char restriction.
Good night.

(1)Funny I was begginning to wonder about 4th of July plans myself. I should have the whole weekend off so im good to go. I'd figure we'd all probably just get together at somebodys place for a little bit then head over to the fireworks. Im open to suggestions.
(2) That seems to be a recouring theme, we've all become better people since then.
(3) Thanks for the offer on PHP, I have to get some work done on ATX and maybe publish another Preview Release of RC1 before I'll get serious about PHP or maybe I'll try and learn a little bit here and there. It looks interesting stuff I just need to sit down and dedicate myself to learning it for a little while.
(4)Which BSD are you thinking of using? FreeBSD?
(5)Im curious I think because of the way PHP works it isn't debuggable in the sense of how I could use something like GNU DeBugger and step through it is it?
There are no debugger programs for PHP that I know of. I think the language is simple enough that you don't really need any extra tools. I just need to take the time to examine my code. For all I know, the problem could be a limitation of an encryption function either in PHP or MySQL.
I was thinking that we could get together some place and have a BBQ. Ben Reagan will be in town, and Katie said she would come over from Marshalltown. Michael will be with family that day, so I can get together with you guys if that is cool...Just let me know what you think...
I was planning on hosting for the Fourth, unless anybody has a problem with that.
Nick, Sounds cool. Let us know the details. I'm game. Isn't there a municipal band concert that night as well?
I really need to get threading on the comments system, then enable emails on comments.
Threading's actually pretty easy. Add a field reply_id or something like that and have its value be the post that you're directly replying to. Then just add to your comment listing routine to have it grab anything with that reply_id whenever it grabs that comment.
