Flashes of Panic

…because I’ve got the guts of our ordering system ripped out and spread all over my working space in between them. Fortunately, if there are parts left over when everything’s back together, I can just delete them.

Inside the <? and the ?> I’ve got some special objects which begin with a $, and outside I have special objects which begin with a &. The ones that start with & also have to end in ;, which is difficult because in the sections between the <? and the ?> I need to end every line with a ; unless I ended with a { (in which case I need to put in a } later on, which also doesn’t need a ;.) Oh, and sometimes there are :s and \rs which are something else again. I won’t even start on when I need to \ my “s and when I don’t.

Honestly, I think know what I’m doing, but switching back and forth between PHP, SQL, and HTML is making my fingers stagger. It’s like getting off a bicycle and trying to run.

Meanwhile, I read in today’s RW that “Stefano Baldini” is an anagram for “No idle fat in abs.”
