No need to reinvent the wheel…

I thought about writing some CGI scripts to make my wish list more interactive—allow people to mark off what gifts had already been gotten (after all, what would I do with 3 sets of Speed Bleeders?), that sort of thing. I thought about how to deal with update race conditions, update conflicts, and the other “usual” problems associated with maintaining a multi-user database system. Then I thought again and decided the problem had surely been solved already. I did some searching and sure enough, found a few sites that fit the bill.

Here’s a new link to my wish list on TheThingsIWant.com.
