* As always, I learn best through having projects.  I'm doing a bunch of tinkering to get this one website to do my bidding, so I'm learning a ton of PHP in the meantime.  This article on basic PHP security things seems not ungood, but it's from 2003, so I want to find something better.  (I need to, for example, block against SQL-based suck in the URL query string, this I know.)

If you have good links on basic-cat PHP (with MySQL) security things, this is the place for 'em.  Even if it's dirt-simple - I'm not an idiot, but I am a scatterbrain, and reminders are good.  Not to mention the part where I'm newish to PHP anyhow.

[eta] Fuck, I'm going to have to learn regex again.  *annoyed*

* My arms got betterish over the weekend, but they're starting to twinge, which means there's something about my work setup that's sub-par.  Alas.  It's probably the arms on this goddamn chair.  I'm trying to space typing out anyhow, just to be thorough, and I'm still not signed onto AIM.

* Part of yesterday was going to a friend's house for grilling.  Her roommate has the gardening bug, so she was raking and setting up a compost pile and digging a fire pit and so and so and so forth.  I wish I didn't kill plants through inattention, I would love to get a bit into container gardening - find some easy-to-grow vegetable that I like, and make that go.  Not necessarily for cooking, mostly just for the occasional munching-on.

I dunno, maybe if I set up reminders for watering...  *sad face*  This is why my loving kitties totally works - there's no set schedule of kitty-care.

* Blogspot has, by far, the shittiest commenting system known to thinking creatures.  Fucking hell.  And you'd think that with that in mind, third-party commenting systems (Disqus, IntenseDebate, Haloscan) would have, I dunno, options for importing Blogger comments.  And yet.  Fuckers.
