Started work on the Guide Books project.

It's something fun and easy, but led off on a difficult tangent.

This is roughly the 500th time I've created an HTML table. And likely the 300th time I'll write handlers for FORM data. Seems like as good a time as any to analyze all of them, find the similarities, and write a dynamic generation application to cut down on the duplication.

So working on that...


Another memory usage update on the session server.

It's nearing 20MB of allocated heap. Wonder when/where it'll hold. 27M to 30M might not be so bad.

I've also been optimizing various MySQL queries, correcting table definitions from back when I was still a Noob. Removing useless indexes, and adding crucial JOIN indexes. Plus completely rewriting some queries so they examine less data and execute more quickly.
