When I first started this little personal portal / blog site, I was initially expecting a little project to help keep my web programming abilities sharp and updated. As I got deeper into the project, I started really getting into the code and making it a personal goal to do everything as beautifully as possible. I first thought I could get away with just having a simple page and controller class, but as I started getting to more advanced functions of the page with more database interaction, I realized having a model class is necessary.

Now, I've developed some database access layers in the past for companies I've worked for, so I could have just taken the guts of one of those, but I decided to rewrite a completely new model/db class from the ground up and do this right. I guess the best part of doing personal projects is not being in the constraints of a time critical project, or taking orders from ridiculous CEO's that have no understanding of what it takes to build a backend. I get to write this on my own terms, my own time frame, and my own rules :) So, expect minimal updates until I get the model/db to a more usable state.
