Well for a 6 month progress update on learning php/mysql and my road to becoming a coding master...
On my improv teams website, I have figured out how to export calender information from our invision bulliten boards calender database to a cool table on our front page which displays all the information on our upcoming shows and links back to its entry on our message board calender. I definitely stole this idea from you. In fact most of my coding ideas tend to happen after seeing your good ideas then stealing them for my own purposes. Its unoriginal, but its a good way to learn how to code, just in case I have that one good idea of my own one day.
I've actually found its not too hard to learn, like I first thought it would be. I have figured out how to access and hack my bulliten board software and database. I have also written my own very primitive guest book script, for show reviews. Although it has no administrative script so i have to manualy delete stuff from it. I wrote that calender hack myself and Ive also added other stuff to which is less obvious, like phpmysql news entry and stuff. Its cool to write your own code instead of relying on other peoples hacks and mods. Anyways, thats as far as ive come so far..maybe ill write another update on my progress in another 6 months...

I'd love to have a look sometime. Since I leave to go back to Florida for christmas, maybe when I come back Ill give you a call or an email and i can swing by and see it. I also want to ask you some Vbulliten related questions about its pros and cons and about skinning, modding, and its administrative capabilities. But ill ask you those in private when I come back too. Thanx and have a good holliday.
