A Different Kind of Conference: the PHP Community ConferenceFor those who have been following along, you’ll know that I helped organize a mini-conference for PHP, along with Elizabeth Naramore, in the Fall of 2006. It was little more than an excuse for a small group of people to get together, “kamp,” talk shop, and have fun—and it was a lot of fun. It [...]

Rebooting Nashville PHPI recently moved to Nashville, and as part of that transition, I’ve taken the helm as the new organizer for the Nashville PHP user group. I posted what follows to the Nashville PHP mailing list, but I thought it would be a good blog post. Enjoy! Six years ago, I founded the Atlanta PHP user group [...]
Blasting Off with MoontoastSince I announced on Twitter that January 15 would be my last day at Schematic, I’ve received many positive responses and much encouragement. The biggest question, though, was where I would be going next. My decision not to be very public about where I was going had nothing to do with being secretive or stealthy. Instead, [...]
PHP Advent 2009Six years ago, I became aware of the PHP community. I joined it three years prior to that. I’m privileged to be a part of the 2009 edition of PHP Advent. This year, my post is about the PHP community. If you have any comments, feel free to leave them here.

CodeWorks Wrap-upI never wrote about days 13 & 14 of CodeWorks, nor did I post the slides on October 7, like I promised to attendees of my talks. After CodeWorks, my website underwent weird spikes in traffic, causing it to be extremely slow. I thought the problem was DreamHost, so I moved everything to a slice [...]

I have a lot of thoughts on his post, and I might blog more about it later, but right now, I want to focus on David’s comment: I think the next thing you should cover is how to retrieve put parameters and maybe even [...]
Building Titanium with PHPSeveral months ago, I started the process of embedding PHP into the Titanium platform. After several sprints of work, the Appcelerator team was finally ready to merge my work into their master branch, and Martin Robinson worked to bring the implementation to maturity. The current release of Titanium Developer does not yet have the PHP [...]
CodeWorks Days 11 & 12 (Washington)Departing Miami, I gazed upon the Atlantic Ocean as we cut through the clouds, making our way farther from the shore, and the thought occurred to me that this tour—these two weeks—has taken me from sea to shining sea across this great country. What a fitting thought to have as this next leg of the [...]
