As promised, here is the picture of all my extra common Magic cards. Yes, that’s a lot of extra cards, and you can see the tops of a few of the folders that I’ve been putting them in to. Since I took that picture, I have put all those cards back into the card boxes they came from. Step two is now complete (step one was sorting all those cards into piles by set). Step three, the final step, is collating all the missing cards into one master list, so I know what I need to trade for to finish out my sets.
I’ve been having such a ball on this project at work… I’m learning PHP as I go, and I’m using MySQL. I’ve been abstracting the hell out of everything and it feels so clean. I love OOP. Now, let’s see if the beauty survives the actual development process.
This whole house-buying thing is a bit complicated because of the oddness of our particular transaction. One, there are no realtors involved, and two, the buyer (me) is occupying the property, not the seller, which is usually the case. This means that I’m having to schedule some of the inspections which are normally handled by the seller (although he is still paying for them, of course).
