I recently spent quite a few hours struggling to make and maintain a consistent connection between Dreamweaver and a remote MySQL database.  After many Googles I found the source of the problem which merely amounted to changing <?php virtual(/Connections… to <?php require_once(Connections… . Amazing.  I think I know why that error was occurring but, to be honest, I don’t care anymore and prefer to move on to the next dumb problem I’m sure to encounter.

Now that the database connection has been made I’ve made good progress using a database to control image navigation for the upcoming site.  Yay!  I even had to learn some quick SQL in order to create the proper queries to retrieve the desired information from the database.

Meanwhile, I’ve continued to exercise daily and eat right and I finally got my weight below 175!  This morning I’m going to make a grocery run to Wal-Mart and will find some way to reward my efforts, I am sure of that.

Friday I’ll call to get the lab results from last week’s colonoscopy.

I received a new disk of images from L Craig Roberts and added another house to his portfolio site.  What a monster!  The house, that is, L Craig is a very nice guy.
