I’ve spent most of the day dealing with out-and-out frustration. I’m experimenting with some website code for a project I have in mind, and while the bulk of the work turned out not to be too difficult (with some very good help), there’s one part of it that’s driving me bonkers.

I’m trying to get a few hundred small text files turned into entries in an existing database. Nevermind why, just understand that this has turned out to be non-trivial for a non-programmer type such as myself.

Ah well. You can’t win ‘em all, can you?
