I’ve had code running through my head for the last two days.\u00a0 I’m just too obsessed with getting at least one backend function working properly as a foundation for building the rest of them eventually.<\/p>\n
So, I’ve managed to write the initial part of it, displaying the information from a custom database.\u00a0 I had to really dig into the software code to find the new way it handles things, in order to take advantage of the many layers of built-in security.\u00a0 Pretty much every function I used in the older version of the software has been changed :p<\/p>\n
The good news is that I’m getting the hang of it.\u00a0 After a couple of victories tonight, I think I have enough of it out of my system to concentrate on writing stories for a while before crashing for the night.\u00a0 I can fetch data from the database, and fetch it conditionally.\u00a0 Next, I’ll have to get the functions to update down.\u00a0 Once I have a grasp of that, there’s little I won’t be able to do, utilizing the code I’ve already written as a foundation.\u00a0 I should be able to write my backend functions with a minimum of fuss.<\/p>\n
Okay, enough about that.\u00a0 I’m going to email Roust for a status update tomorrow.\u00a0 Hoping he can get the editing on SOTM 16 done this weekend so I can get it in the queue Monday.\u00a0 Not going to push him if he’s still on an unfamiliar machine, though.\u00a0 But, every so often, when things get a little crazy, he forgets that he has a file.\u00a0 Reminding him might be all it takes to get the edit finished and ready to go *laugh*<\/p>\n
I’m going to try to write a little bit, and with all that PHP no longer bouncing around in my head, I might be able to brainstorm plot and characters<\/em> tomorrow at work, instead of functions and variables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve had code running through my head for the last two days.\u00a0 I’m just too obsessed with getting at least one backend function working properly as a foundation for building the rest of them eventually.
