Jeremiah: 25b) Audio Broadcast 25b - Someone tried to charge $8,000 on my credit card!
Updated: 2005-10-01 12:17:29
Description: Hoo-whee! Here's something I was hardly expecting on a somewhat lazy-day Saturday morning. Picture it...the telephone rings at about 8:30 a.m. and when I answer that telephone, an automated voice informs me that some strange activity has been occurring on my credit card. Talk about derailing a Saturday morning! I'm hardly going to go into detail about the whole situation here (because I pretty much cover the incident in my audio broadcast), but I do want to say that for a brief period in the morning, I had my own little soap opera going on. This is a little off-topic for all of the drama occurring on my Saturday morning; however, I just want to say "I DID IT!" I finally, finally, finally....whew!...finished the website that I have been slaving on for a little over a month. Visit http://www.distinctivegiftbaskets.net for a peak at my work. Yes, I'm hearing the words "that website hardly looks like it took over a month to complete...Joshua, you're a crock!" inside my head. Actually, it's hardly the "outside" of the site that took me so long to complete. What's interesting about this site is what is occurring "behind the scenes". What's impressive about the site is that I'm running the different aspects of the site off of a database. It took me forever to get the site up because all of the pages featuring photographs are pages that are actually "dynamically" generated. What does "dynamically generated" mean? It means that the browser (your Internet Explorer or Netscape or Firefox or even Opera) is pulling the photo information (and text information) from a database and assembling it into a web-page "on the fly". This is a great concept because it allows the website owner to change any of her photos or text on her site by going directly into the database without looking at any of the coding I did. Basically, I didn't construct any of the photo pages, 1-by-1...the photo pages construct themselves using the PHP coding language.
