Creating a Social Network

I wrote down all of the things that I would want in my Social Network and then I began researching the [...]
Connecting Access to a MySql Database
Back in 2004 when I started my first online business, I needed a way of tracking customers and all of their information. I decided to use MySql databases to store that information so that I could access the data from any computer that had internet access. I had designed a php site as my front [...]

That’s what I’ve been [...]

2PM And No Sleep Yet
It’s 2pm and I haven’t even slept yet. I just had too many little projects to keep me busy and I was determined to finish them. Crazy schedule, huh?
