The classes are fun.  It's a nice drive to get to class and get out of the house for a couple of hours twice a week.  One of the courses, Advanced PHP Programming, is a little bit redundant with my experience, but the idea is to get talking with others and see things from a different perspective.

The other course is to work on my goal to become a Security Expert.  First I have to get to understanding networking, so I'm taking CCNA 1 & 2 in one semester.  The printouts of the labs that are due for the class is over 2" high. 

The projects have also been fun.  But would have been more fun if I didn't have to get them done the day before yesterday.

One project, a quiz, was interesting.  I had been creating quizes using perl and a well modified open source program.  Now it is in PHP.  If you want to check out my work here is the link. 

There were a bunch of clients with opt-in newsletters, Blogs to set up, and a contact form using NMS tfmail for emailing the information.  I'm going to have to replace NMS tfmail because the bots are getting to it.

Then to reuse the opt-in program, I have one site that has a bunch of forms that request stories, comments, journal entries, etc. that I use the opt-in format to verify that they really did enter the information. 

That is a small hint of what I've been doing for the last month and a half.
