How's things @Wil?

Not good... Trying to learn MVC still and I just feel like an idiot as I just can't understand a few things

I even asked a question on SO, which had an answer that sort of makes sense - but I still don't get it!

how are you!?

Dreading going back to work tomorrow... but otherwise well.

@Mokubai hah! Sometimes I wish I had a regular job... work every day! but, hope it goes ok for you!

7:03 PM
