Can anyone point me to directions to updating a MySQL database from Javascript?

Trying out WriteRoom - http://hogbaysoftware.com/products/writeroom - full-screen text editing for the Mac. Excellent design.
-
It takes me two hours a day to process emails and forums. And it's volume; I spent little time on each. This must change.

Seriously, in two episodes of Ga Rei -Zero-, half a dozen main good guys have died. New ones appear, and THEY die. Cast and crew have guts.
-
Ga Rei -Zero- has a standard horror show premise of humans with weird powers fighting spirits. Innovation: very high death toll of humans.

And there's another 1,100 words of Giant Armors culled from the second draft. Really didn't feel like it tonight, but glad I did it.

Cutting cool recipes out of old issues of Bon Appetit, so I can finally try them. Why didn't I do this sooner?

Watched Idiocracy and 40 Year Old Virgin last night. Both laugh-out-loud excellent. Idiocracy deserves greater popularity.

And there's another 1,000 words of Giant Armors book 1, draft 3 written. Shortened up the training sequence, as a tweeter suggested. Thanks!

Trying out OpenOffice.org (versus NeoOffice). OpenOffice seems faster on startup and saving, but slower when typing or scrolling.

RPing went well, though I'm exhausted now. That's the price, I suppose.

A brilliant way to create characters in a fantasy world, through rules of culture and their reactions to them: http://ping.fm/kVJox

Developing a D&D 4th Edition antagonist one-sheet. Create a high-level bad guy on-the-fly, during a game.

Ugh. Got almost no sleep last night. Quite a bit on the docket today, too. Well, nothing for it but to roll up my sleeves and get busy.

In other news, just re-watched Tenchi Muyo In Love, with some kids. They (and I) loved it. Red Fudo!
