I made good progress this afternoon, getting everything done that I’d hoped to get done. I completed the two remained functions that I didn’t get done yesterday, and then I spent the remainder of the time re-factoring code to move all database calls out of one module and into a separate class.

Yes, that’s right, I came into work again today. I made good progress yesterday and this weekend may just end up getting me a week ahead of schedule on this project.
