Nicky and I had lunch at Olive Garden. There seems to be quite a bit of traffic on the Interstate as a result of the holiday traffic.

Made several modifications to the online journal software. Added a barik_r read-only SQL username to prevent web users from writing into the database. This is now the default user for all journal operations. Added a Link entry at the bottom of each journal entry to allow users to directly link to a given entry. The link is followed by the MD5 checksum of the journal entry.

Worked with FruityLoops. The step sequencer is where the user lays out the drum and melody patterns for songs. The channels are on the left and the dots are on the right. Each dot represents a sixteenth note. To the left of each channel are the volume and pan (or balance) controls. A right-click on these controls resets them to their default value. Clicking on the channel name brings up the channel settings.

Downloaded a DOS bootdisk and upgraded the A7M-266 BIOS to version 1007 using the AFLASH utility.
