I spent about 4 hours today on modeling the database for one project. Other time was spent reading up on the Zend framework in order to lighten my load a bit—I figure a couple days learning it will save me weeks of programming work. I also took half an hour to read up on all the manual settings on my camera, and celebrated my newfound knowledge with a photo of my (almost) newly cleaned workspace:

I’ve missed having a camera with manual settings. My most recent before this one didn’t have a fully-manual mode, or manual focus, and was therefore only good for tourist photography—point and click but nothing artsy. New one has a very nice manual mode: It’s a Canon Powershot A590. It’s no DSLR, but for the money (less than $100), it’s pretty damned nice. I still need to do a little Photoshop tweaking to perfect the image, though.
I guess I should set up a Flickr account, huh?
