Work Log: Thurs, June 8

8:30
Arrived.  New objective: test the Sid (debian testing) web2py package, which is current, and might have fixed the import problem.
9:30
The new version dosen't fix the import problem.  I'm going on irc to see how people feel about the problem.
CGI scripts might be the way that Elkner educates.  With a teacher explaining all the elements, it will be a very solid foundation for building other web app dev skills.
10:30
Still examining the web2py issues.
New objective: write a CD collection manager with SQL.
11:30
Objective changed: writing a loan management system.  I assume that this will need authentication.
12:30
This model will not have authentication.  Could loose authentication be done with passcodes, with the script only setting IsReturned to true if the user inputs a number matching a hidden, initially generated, number?
1:30
I did not know what I was doing with links.  I am fixing that.
2:30
Back to the check it out database.  Having difficulty, running cgitb to debug.
Checked out at 3:15.

SSH'd into students.gctaa.net at 4:10 to fix shoppinglist, which was broken.
