The plunge and websites
Today we threw a friend of mine out of a plane. For his birthday. Oh, and he had a parachute on :) He's a bit of an adrenaline junkie so he was psyched to get a tandem skydiving voucher for his birthday from the grad group.
Watching him jump was pretty cool. The waiting around was boring, but when the plane went over and you saw a speck leap out and slowly get bigger and bigger until they become the person you know, that was cool. He was euphoric for hours afterwards and had difficulty speaking for a while. He was so pumped beforehand that he was in a daze. The skydiving guy noticed this and jokingly said, "Some people choose not to go with a harness, do you wanna try that?" My friend nodded and said, "Yeah, let's try that," not catching that the harness was what would have attached him to the parachute.
I don't know why, but all that had made me really tired. I crashed on my bed sometime in the afternoon. After a nap, I trudged around the house and updated my website. Dave has generously hosted my site and it gave me a chance to redesign it. Check it out and let me know what you think. It doesn't seem quite right, but good enough for now.
Have I mentioned how much I love PHP? All websites should be made with PHP :) I enjoy the fact that you can use it to do little things like programmatic inclusion, but also more hardcore things like database manipulation and retrieval.
