I've been shooting quite a bit lately. So, expect a few more images on display in the next couple of days.

It worked, but still insisted on generating the classes into the global directory and, despite my attempts, I couldn't seem to [...]

Wanting to shave a few hours off of coding time and avoid all the stumbling blocks that are certain to occur when dealing with writing flexible objects for use in multiple projects, I decided that I'd try to find an existing package to handle object persistance (aka.
