It's amusing how things like that can happen. I felt like I was spinning my wheels on a problem with a project -- consisting of treating each viewing of a video in a 24 hour period as separate orders for statistical purposes -- yet not cluttering the users history (among other things) with multiple "orders."

I started going through a complex process to make sure everything was properly collapsed and still recorded when it suddenly occurred to me: "Hey, we already have order renewals for dvds. This is basically the same thing."

So, a day or two of complex work ended up being solved by s three line change that I should have thought of immediately. Good times. :)
