nerd warning***
i’ve been spending almost all my free computer time on a new software project for the SP site. it will be a gallery and print ordering system written in PHP using the CakePHP framework. it has been very interesting. i spend most of my time just trying to figure out web programming in general – user authentication, sessions, forms, etc. i’m so used to the client application that the stateless nature of a web app is hard to get my head around.
