<br>
<h2>friday, august 7</h2>

<li>decide to use PHP for manage blessfrey's blog</li>
<li>set up a local Apache server for practice. It was a little confusing!</li>
<li>wrote a vaguely functioning Hello, World! script in PHP</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>saturday, august 8</h2>
<ul>

<li>added images to live site despite conflicts with Linux's security</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>sunday, august 9</h2>
<ul>
<li>second week of <a href="https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=dominance">dom</a>! yeah!</li>
<li>studied PHP with <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_intro.asp">W3Schools</a></li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>monday, august 10</h2>
<ul>
<li>studied PHP with <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_intro.asp">W3Schools</a></li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>wednesday, august 12</h2>
<ul>
<li>J met his old co-worker, and he wanted to see my website. Oops. I don't have one yet...</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>friday, august 14</h2>
<ul>
<li>I'm getting more popular with J's friends. Happy.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>saturday, august 15</h2>
<ul>
<li>Made a Python script that spits out new skill scenes for Godot after answering a little command line questionnaire. I could make it an add-on for the engine, but it would be a lot slower to develop and functionally no better.</li>
<li>Maybe I can rewrite it later in JSON, since Godot can read JSON.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>sunday, august 16</h2>
<ul>
<li>First time attending for a conquest. Flameforger's is next week. Go Fire!</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>monday, august 17</h2>
<ul>
<li>Research PHP + MySQL while attending. I think MySQL is overkill for my purposes, since all my articles couldn't possibly be that much data. It might be interesting for analyzing data, though, like adding a word cloud of the most common tags or a search feature.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>august 18 - august 21</h2>
<ul>
<li>Attend for the Fire Flight while trying out a new mmo - ArcheAge, since my friends play it.</li>
<li>I told a friend I would play Go with him soon but was too busy with the raffle. Then someone told him I was online all the time in ArcheAge...oops...that looked bad lol. It wasn't like I played more than a few minutes at a time until the late evening.</li>
<li>finally get access to the code for an mmo some friends work on. I start familiarizing myself with the code and start planning my new feature.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>saturday, august 22</h2>
<ul>
<li>I work on pagination. The concept boggles my mind, but I can break it into pieces to solve like any other problem.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>sunday, august 23</h2>
<ul>
<li>I work on my friends' mmo more. I make my own branch and make my first changes. The work environment is Windows-only, and the server is live with active players - lots of new problems for me, but really interesting experience. </li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>monday, august 24</h2>
<ul>
<li>Still working on pagination in PHP to create a navigation bar for my development blog. </li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>tuesday, august 25</h2>
<ul>
<li>Play around with CSS + HTML for the website. The CSS Grid didn't exist the last time I used CSS (for petsite profiles lol), so I'm more comfortable with floats. The Grid looks so worth learning, though, for more consistent and responsive web design. </li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>wednesday, august 26</h2>
<ul>
<li>Get the landing page looking okay while using the CSS Grid. </li>
</ul>
