Summer's End

The end of summer is almost here, which means I'll soon have to go back to work and school. Right now I'm writing from Ontario, my friend I'm visiting is at work and I've got some spare time to spend on my laptop (thankfully she has Highspeed).

This summer has went extremely fast, and it feels like I've gotten nothing substantial done. I've done little bits here and there, added a couple small features on my site, got the downloads back up...but I haven't had the free time to do the most important things; Learn PHP, learn Perl, code a simple IRC bot...So I'll have to push those things farther down until I get time. I am starting with a bit of PHP and shortly after I'll learn a bit of Perl. Thankfully, I taught myself some CSS basics and have implemented a tiny example into my site that I'll continue to work on as time goes on. Also, I've installed the Apache webserver and PHP on my laptop so I'll be able to work/test some work without an internet connection.


Some useful links that helped me setup PHP on Windows Vista:

Some things I need to do when I have time:
Fix and upload WAR.exe (Website Automated Reloader)
Learn PHP
Learn Perl
Brush up on C++
Partition Hard Drive -> Install Linux
Think about installing MySQL
