ok, i just got the wrong idea when you said "all i need is for it to
start working so my boss won't kill me". :)
but i have to say that your boss didn't give you the opportunity to
learn
at all. interns by definition should always work under the supervision
of
a tutor, someone to show you the directions and keep you out of
nightmares.
if this is not the case then you are a regular developer hired with
intern salary. i appreciate your commitment to get the job done but you
should be more realistic about your situation and your boss. cheers.
