it's all good on zephir

except reCaptcha, but that's no problem
Spent a cople hours sat. morning with the new theme and making links for the stempel project that make sense and get to all the right assignment pages.

I can't wait to put this together again for another project.
Need to put this up on his host.
Theme looks like crap in IE8 - need to do something about that.
Don't fully understand permissons and file secrity
Should do .htaccess assignment looks like best way to lock down files.
Seems like we sped through SQL - or maybe it's really that simple - four commands

Trying to use classes better. Current design has many divs with IDs.

Documnetation

Worked with Matt from class on one of our assignments. We installed the documenter which was a good exercise, because I've always been pretty bad about documentation of anything. I like the idea of keeping notes as comments right with my work. Now for recording hours - still a week spot. Working with computers reminds me of working in the darkroom. Every task by itself is very small, in the darkroom I was constantly timing things and somehow lost track of hours. Here I check and recheck things I do and the time slips away.

I'm imagining my experience here as being given a tool box and being shown how to use the tools. Pretty cool.
