Things to keep in mind while shooting:
- remember the 1/focal length rule. So for the 85mm lens, shoot at 1/125, the 135mm lens shoot at 1/150 -1/200. Up the ISO to get the shutter speed required. Better to have a sharp noisier image, then a blurred cleaner image.
- camera AF on AI Servo, Spot metering, use only the center AF point.

Meeting with Jason for the past few times has inspired me to get back into writing code. More importantly writing code differently. Writing better code.

So I’m going back to the Spa website to continue the work on that site.

…that I’ve even undertaken.
The new version of the Total Wellbeing Medical Spa website just got made live a couple of days ago.
I had to spend a little time cleaning up some CSS issues which looked messy in IE.
Now I need to continue with the upgrades to make it even slicker.

This is just a brain-storming session to get ideas down:

- Category system. (ie. web hosts, online banking, forums…)
- encrypt all info in database, except ID
- when viewing data, only show password when cursor is passed over the line.

Two tables: One is a table of categories and another table is a password table.
Category table:
ID, category name, category desc

Password table;
ID, host, login, password, comments

For the data encyption in the database, hardcode in the PHP code a passkey that is used to encode and decode the data.
Ok That is a bad idea. The data is sent in plain text between the browser and the server php code, so anyone listening can grab the text easily…
Going to do the encryption/decryption in javascript, on the browser, so all the data sent back to server, and then to browser is encrypted.
This is trickier to do (for my skill level) but will try it out.

On third thought, I will stick with the first option. Much easier to implement. As long as one can establish a SSL connection to the site, encryption is not a problem.
In the interest of getting the project started, I will take the easy way out, and maybe in a later version implement the more secure method of encrypting/decrypting the data in the browser.

This needs a name too… WPM (Web Password Manager)??

- Sell the Mazda rims (get the images processed, and post a message)
- Give away the fireplace/stove
- Compile the kernal rom scratch.
-

With the bulk of the previous ToDo list being complete, I thought I’d sit down and think of the next wave for the project.

From the last list, still outstanding are:
- wire electrical outlet
- drain for the tub needs to be finalized (This I will wait on untill I have a tub, in order to locate it)
