i think i'll give my project a name - let's call it tokki for now (korean for bunny rabbit.

progress on tokki was rather slow today - i somehow _just_ discovered the ternary method in php and it was rather nice to fit a whole command structure in one line instead of broken up over 5 lines.

the problem right now is that i'm building all these separate components without tying them in - the design has to tie them all in eventually, and it's hard for me to write code without visualizing physically how everything fits in.

right now i'm doing some blind coding; just making sure i'm not putting in parse errors and such. once i get a design up and can link up modules with each other i can work out the architectural bugs that exist right now.

right now i'm using a lot of sql queries on the admin portion, especially for the management of shared data. this is bad. i'll work those problems out later; right now i'm just trying to write code that i can easily fix up later.

step 1: get all the separate modules working
step 2: implement design
step 3: make sure all the modules work nice together
step 4: make sure there are no security bugs and such
step 5: clean up architectural problems (e.g. find better ways of managing the loops).

i know most of you CS majors will probably blast me for this method (i'm sure there's some set method that you're supposed to do something). sadly, this method works best for me (so far) so give me a break :P

but man am i excited about this new site. it has a targetted niche ... and one that hasn't been exploited by any site yet. at all. there are a lot of sites that get close, but none that quite do it.

this new project also draws close to one of my favorite hobbies, so i know what i'm doing and i know what needs to be done. i have in my head a "VIP beta tester" list of people i want to beta test to tell me how to make it better ....

let's hope i can do this!
