I made a lot of progress on the interface, mostly the calendar. I got the interface looking about the way I want it to, and cleaned up colors and such. I made it a lot bigger so that it should be easier to use, especially for elderly people. I fixed the range issues on the calendar. It took a bit of reprogramming, but now it will notify you (only once) if you try to move past the acceptable date range, and it will not mistakenly adjust the date range after said notification. I set the date range to begin where our data begins, at least on this server, and end "today" (where today changes with the date - I don't mean literally July 14, 1006).

I removed all the holidays from the calendar, but I plan to leave some sort of documentation that indicates that we could use them to add events - for example, "Marie's surgery" - so they could be easily seen on the calendar as the user is selecting the dates.

My coworkers looked at the calendar and tested it to be sure they couldn't break it. Andy had a great idea for how to arrange the buttons that are used to navigate between months and/or years.

Right now I'm having an issue with the font size. There seems to be an upper limit on the font size in my browser (and it's not a very high limit). I've had very limited success reproducing this effect on other browsers. I posted for help to the Gentoo forums (link). Also, I've never been able to get IRC working on here, so no instant help for me! I guess I could try setting it up on one of the Windows computers behind me.

Notes to self for Monday: 

• Scratchpad is now jul14summ
• First thing to do Monday: check for forum response, clean up highlight-type colors on calendar
