Sugar Dave's Place

Here's one that I don't have to do:

The winds were gusting so high that about 30 minutes ago, the fence that separates our back yard from our neighbor's fell over. It almost took out their A/C unit and wedged up against their house pretty well. Our dog, Max (aka Big Stinky, Doofus, rock-and-glass eater, etc.) was overjoyed as he ran through their yard like an escaped prisoner.

So, this has come together quickly (for me). I now have the minimum requirements for a rudimentary banking system. It only operates in whole numbers, and by default allows neither negative balances nor multiple accounts. It logs transactions. I will be using this module on the site for registered users....more details once I'm ready.

So, my wife thought it would be fun to paint my daughter's room while she is gone for Spring Break. She also convinced me to agree that the floor needed to be replaced. We've lived in this house almost 9 years and the carpets are very bad.

I have already replaced all the downstairs carpet with some click-together laminate flooring. That's a story for another time.

This time, the wife wants vinyl flooring. So, last weekend we went to the home improvement store to see what we could see. We found some cheap printed stuff that looks like wood and that's what she decided on.

I've begun working on a simple module for this site. It's going to be a very basic 'coin bank' system. I have my work cut out for me as I don't know much PHP and I'm definitely not a programmer. So far, I've been able to get a basic module.install file together that creates a couple of database tables. There's an administration form and an account creation form. It has taken me 3 days to get this together, but I'm making progress.

Well, I've dusted off the Drupal again. I'm not really sure what direction to take the site at the moment, so I'm just going to start adding random things and see what comes together.

Some of the things I'd like to add/change so far:

• A nifty theme. I suck at CSS, though, so that's a pipe-dream at this point.
• Some kind of "member recognition" system. Like reputation, or similar.
