zenmondoI feel as if I should make an entry, but life has been pretty uneventful lately. Got another cold. So I feel like I have been half a person since monday. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
keltgrrl bought some cool medicine that you stick up your nose, and I can finally breath through my nose again. I hope I will sleep well.
I added a script today to Jolt Finder, an "I forgot my password" script. I learned a few things about php and SQL making that script, which is really the main reason behind Jolt Finder. Its not about actually finding Jolt Cola, its about me learning new stuff.
What I learned today:
1) Generating e-mail with php is a piece of cake. Is there nothing difficult with php? I have not found anything yet.
2) Generating a random password can be done with easy to read code in 5 lines.... and somebody did it before me, so I don't have to.
2a) Reader comments on php.net's documentation is a very good thing.
3) I'm actually getting the hang of writing mySQL queries.
4) Coding is so much more fun when you code something you aren't getting paid for (that is, coding for yourself and your own whimsy -- not getting stiffed by someone you are working or contracting for).
