chapter 9

Ed2go.  Online learning.  What's not to love?  I just finished printing chapter 9 of "Introduction to php and Mysql."  I don't have to print out the lessons, but the act of copying and pasting into word, scouring the discussion area for extra information and copying that, too, to be a part of the learning process.  I see everything just a bit as I do the copy/paste, and then as the arranging happens.  Turning a 20 page paste into a 10 page textbook chapter is 1/2 the fun.  I don't do this for all the chapters, but there are some that I know I'll be referring back to over time, and sometimes I just want to lie in bed and read the material, right?

My website, http://www.seedebate.org is built on this technology, with Drupal as it's front-end.  It's all open-source software and I'm becoming an addict.  I will take the intermediate course next and then I want to understand Linux.  That's WAY overdue.  I hate windows and mac equally- mac a little more because they're so goddamn pretentious.  Time to get back to the homework.
