Well... I'm officially neck-deep in SQL.

3 months ago? Hadn't touched SQL beyond issuing a couple of SELECT statements.

Now? Writing an HMAC-based-login system in PHP with account-credentials for the MySQL login that can only call specific stored SQL functions that operate as black-boxes and return single-value responses or null.

Um... yeah... I should have picked this stuff up years ago so I could put it on my resume.

Cool. Teach me?

Well... that's the issue.

Ever seen Heroes? The one chick from the diner, glances at things and remembers them? That me with programming languages. Knowledge: Apply directly to the forehead!

I'd be happy to try to teach you, but I've come to accept that I just pick up programming languages way faster than most, always have, and as a side-effect I don't realize I'm skipping important information because it's so integrated with my worldview and instincts it's like a beagle trying to teach a human how to track a scent a lot of the time. Even among other programmers, I suffer some disconnect since I don't book-learn or course-learn and pick up their 'standard' terminology either. =-.-=

I used to be able to do that. Then I got old. :(

I'll let you know when I get time to play again. Right now I'm of to chase Dolly around Texas.
