Lint I find in my mind’s belly-button.

I’m in Print Again!

Dear Reader,
w00t! I’m back in print. It’s been a long drought (10 years since my last FoxPro Advisor article?) but I’m BACK BABY!
Everybody reading this blog (both of you) rush right out and buy a copy of php|architect. Then, after an appropriate amount of time, write them and tell them how wonderful [...]

Queuebuddy.com - Part II

Dear Reader,
Ok, I started out last week with a simple concept in mind. I needed a simple, file-based, queue system for QueueBuddy.com. Now, before you say anything, yes, I know that Zend Platform has a wonderful job queue. I also know that Amazon has a Queue as well. In both cases, I think [...]

Dear Reader,
I’ve been working on a project for a while now and it’s finally ready for testing. Queuebuddy.com started life as a way to help me keep track of movies I want to see but don’t feel like paying to see in the theater. (If you are really curious, email me, I’ll give you [...]

My first Mashup - Revisited

Dear reader,
A while back, I built a cute little toy that let you track UPS packages on a Google map. My original title for this was “Where the hell is my stuff?” but since I wanted it to be more family friendly, I titled it “My First Mashup“.
Since then, I’ve presented this talk 3 [...]

My Job Description

My boss asked me to write up my job description the last time I was out in Cupertino. I’m sure this isn’t what he had in mind, but I’m going to share it here for all to see.

Dear Reader,
I woke up this morning to find this on my screen. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

Dear Reader,
Elvis H. Presley! why does Microsoft have to make up their own rules for everything? Why, just for once, can’t they play nice and do things the way everybody else does? Nope, they’ve got to do things just enough different so that I have to make work-arounds.
Ok, here’s the scenario I hit upon tonight [...]

Uber PHP Conference

Dear Reader,
Back a few weeks ago, several of us started day dreaming on #phpc about PHP conferences. It should come as no surprise to anyone that knows me that ZendCon is my favorite PHP conference. But we were daydreaming about what could go on and how we could make conferences in general better and easier [...]

I was invited to do another podcast

Dear Reader,
Regardless of what you think the name should be, podcast, netcast, whatever, it’s still a serious ego-stroke to be asked to be on one. So when Eric Berto of Etelos wrote me and asked if I was interested, of course I said yes.
We had a ball. They even managed to edit out when I [...]

Dear Reader,
As previously described, I’m now at The Ajax Experience. I have to say that I’m very impressed with the professionalism. From the handling of the speakers to the clockwork precision by which each event occurs, it is truly a well run conference.
It’s also a great conference content wise, not because I [...]
