A sore body and a new collaboration

I am incredibly sore from Monday and Tuesdays workouts. Ravi wanted to do arms on Tuesday, so we did workout C instead of workout B. That was probably a bad idea, because it didn't give my chest or arm muscles enough time to recover from the previous day's workout. I'm mostly feeling it in my triceps and obliques -- when I lift my arms over my head.

I've been going over Thea's place on Wednesday nights and tutoring him in PHP programming. The past few sessions haven't been very productive, but thats because I had to get his programming environment setup properly. I installed XAMPP and Eclipse (with the PHP plugin). We decided today that we're going to work on a project together; a web retail store which will allow Wholesale Floral Corp to sell discontinued items to the public. Building this application together will be excellent experience for the both of us. We're going to use the Smarty PHP template engine and stick to Object-Oriented programming as much as possible. To collaborate our development work we're going to use my home CVS server.

  1. OH!!!!! crap… just thought you should do an online store for ACD Festival… they want one. akmai hosts them too. They pay πŸ™‚ a little πŸ™

  2. Well we’re going to design this online store so that it can be reused on any site. So once we have a working version that we can pass out, I’ll let you know.

    If you want to track our development, go read up on Google about CVS. I can give you read access to my CVS server, which would allow you to download the latest development snapshot of the project whenever you want. Or you can wait until its done. πŸ™‚

  3. Hurry up with it already…. geter done. πŸ™‚

    I can’t wait… but I will *sigh* half my life is spent waiting….
    Like waiting at the INS office for them to call #38 – took 4 hours.

    So can I ask will they be able to see the cc numbers and process them on their own? and be secure? will they need to upgrade their server for that? Can you tell I have no idea what I’m talking about? what if dog spelled cat?

  4. Those last two sentences make me laugh every time I read them, lol.

    What do you mean by “see the cc numbers and process them on their own”? Do you mean, have the company employee(s) process the credit card numbers in-store as a POS (point of sale), as opposed to using an online credit card processing service which charges the card once the order is placed? If that’s what you mean, then yes, that will be how this project is designed to work — at least at first.

    It’s much easier to encrypt the credit card numbers, store them, and then display them for processing later. The whole automatic credit card processing thing won’t need to be setup.

    Life is about what you make of the time you spend waiting on things. πŸ™‚

  5. “have the company employee(s) process the credit card numbers in-store as a POS (point of sale), If that’s what you mean, then yes, that will be how this project is designed to work β€” at least at first.”

    Yes, that’s what I meant.

    So, what if dog spelled cat? where the quote come from? πŸ™‚

    “Life is about what you make of the time you spend waiting on things.”
    And what would you make out of the time you spent waiting for the INS to call your number, getting there before they opened at 8am and them calling your number at 2pm?
