Current Thoughts

22 Januarry 2001

Took the Macromedia Advanced ActionScripting class -- and it only convinced me that Flash has a well-thought data management/presentation model.

My focus is Flash.ActionScripting.Generator.PHP.mySQL ... and, yes, I know SQL Server 7.

I am pleased with the revised, updated and cleaner E&J Frankel site ... it is database-driven using PHP+mySQL+Dreamweaver.

Attitude

  • tenacious coder
  • "if someone else can do it, I can too!"
  • hardworking
  • persistent

Humor

I grew up in Biloxi, Mississippi and remember looking at the New Yorker's cartoons before I could read. Needless to say, my humor is dry.

Health

I work out three times a week at the gym for 1+ hour. I'm healthy, eat great, sleep better and exercise my brain even more.

Leisure

Whitewater paddling; swinging in my Catskill hammocks
