Monday, school (related) work all night. Today, school (related) work all night. Tomorrow, Carrie’s house till about eight. Thursday, school (related) work all night. Friday, school (related) work all night. Saturday… wait, you mean I can actually start doing some of MY work Saturday? *checks schedule* OH YEAH I CAN PROGRAM AGAIN!

Whats all this work I have to do for the school? Well, most of it happens to be for English cards, I have to develop the flash cards system more by adding 50 more words and 100 definitions. Then download, compile, configure, test, document and implement a server for the school. Then, just thinking of this now, I have to reprogram the school’s inventory system to support OOP. So yeah, my week is packed. Oh, and did I mention the research paper that is due tomorrow I had to type up; the five page one?

Well, My book, PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice, finally came in today after about two weeks of waiting. So fair I only skimmed the first 43 pages of this 440 page book; however, I already used one of the things I learned from it today. Not too much happening in my life lately, went to the doctor today for my severe dizziness; he just ordered me to see a neurologist. I’m thinking of writing a essay that the students of “Higher Grades” write for “The Governor’s Scholar” contest. Basically they pick a select few students out of the whole state and send them to a college for 5 weeks, they pay for everything. I figure sense I won’t need it, don’t have computer colleges, I should at least fill out the paperwork for my REAL college; figure they’d like to see the form; good part is, sense I’m not applying, I can wait about six months before I even start writing the essay. Well, there you are a blog post; now I’m going to continue programming.

After the really crappy day I had yesterday, in which anything and everything went wrong, today was a little better. Spent half the day inside at 80 degrees still freezing my butt off, then ended up getting a headache, and found my girl crying because of a miscommunication on my part. (It’s better now) Well, what just happened just made up for both these days’s bad luck, I’m in PhishTank’s Blog! It can be found: HERE I’m in it! PhishTank Runner finally got blogged! I know at-the-moment their not “endorsing” my work, but still it got attention and my name is listed on this website that gets thousands of people on it a day; if not MORE!

After a week of conversing with Mr. Mike Damm of PhishTank and tweaking PhishTank Runner, I have just 20min ago sent the PhishTank Team a project proposal to make PhishTank Runner the Official PHP API Class of PhishTank. Mike Damm got the proposal he forwarded it to the whole PhishTank Team for review; not too bad for a 16 year old eh? Well, the next project I’ve been working on is a dual-security, compression-enabled PHP Session Handler that over-rides the default PHP Session Handling functions easily enabling it to be integrated with any problem with just two lines of code. This feature is possible due to the fact it re-routes the default PHP Session Handler Functions and Calls to my personal Session Handler’s versions.

Getting back to a normal persons life, yesterday I did the unthinkable, I actually actively participated in Church. I normally help out more then the normal people out of my god-given kindness I was born with; however, this was different, I actually grabbed my girl and started swaying and singing out loud the lyrics to the songs they were singing not caring if I was off-beat or anything. I had a great time and wishing I had done it earlier, I’m definably doing it again this Sunday. Today, Carrie’s Mother was going with her Grandmother for x-mass shopping and was gonna take Carrie with her. I figured she didn’t wish for Carrie to be with her x-mass shopping and asked if she wished for Carrie to spend the day at my house. She agreed and my day today was spent with Carrie; if you had a hard time contacting me that’s why, sorry.
