23 years ago, I learned how to hook up a database to a web app. Me and my multimedia degree had a blast with this simple technology for decades. A website without a database can't really do anything, but with a database it can become something amazing.

It turns out that getting a database running with modern web technology is pretty tough. I've been tinkering with it for two years to limited success. But this weekend I finally figured it out. It was a huge, huge moment. Because now I can get back to doing projects online.

I can't wait.
