I am sitting inside a restaurant called Buca di Beppo in Palo Alto. My eyes feel a bit strained, but in general I'm pleased with how the day is going. I've got my Javascript / PHP code basically working, but there's a long ways to go yet: CSS styling, cross-browser testing, and integrating my changes with the version-control system. I truly understand that article about the difference between the amateur programmer and the professional programmer - the professional must worry about all these details, after the coding is "done".

Chirpy accordion music; the couple beside me are discussing RSS. I'm going to take a taxi to confession at a nearby church, but first I need to stop by the office to ask our designer a question.
