Programming
I did a lot of programming today. Who would have thought that slowly reading aloud to myself a 500 page book called PHP Objects, Patterns and Practice written by someone much smarter than me would have helped me finally get a grasp of some of the more intricate conundrums of writing multi-tier web applications. The current project I'm working on for my portfolio has four tiers! FOUR TIERS! To put that in perspective, Bradism has only one tier, if that. It's almost more like a mezzanine; a six year old testament to taking your "Hello World" script and just running with it.
The main drawback about learning and writing code for a four tier web application is that you can do a lot of programming in a day and have very little on the interface to show for it. Indeed, for most of today I have been adding and changing code and then refreshing localhost hoping not to see it change! And everytime it doesn't I feel a little more excited. It's a giddy rush that fixing some of the outstanding bugs in the new version of this site cannot replicate even if you added a replication package to the data tier of my life.
OK, so obviously that wasn't very thrilling, so here's a photo I took of a tiger drinking some milk:
