Current frustration: the fpdf library... This thing is about as bare as ncurses when it comes to built in functionality, and the first thing I have to make with it is a professional-looking report template with plenty of tables and formatted tidbits. I hope that if I learn to use this thing it will at least be something that I can make use of again and again (and again, and possibly a few more times after that).
I try not to let things like this get me down, but I'd definitely be kidding myself if I said I was happy to be learning this right now.
Edit: And yet, somehow, after I vent everything magically begins to make sense. I may get a good chunk of this done tonight.
