For those of you that read my blog and happen to be attending php|tek 2008, I’m heading up that way today! Over the past few weeks, I’ve received a handful of Twitter messages and other emails regarding batch processing with PHP. I look forward to seeing the few curious, interested people there. Don’t hesitate to stop by and say hello. I’ll be presenting on “Robust Batch Processing with PHP,” as well as my “The Grown-Up Company’s Guide to Development,” which has been spruced up a bit post-ZendCon 2007 (read: “made less boring”). Happy conferencing, everyone! Ayyyyyyyyy!

Just a quick “congratulations” to my former employer, Community Connect Inc., for their recent sale to Radio One. Congrats, CCI!

One of my talks from ZendCon 2007, “The Grown-Up Company’s Guide to Development,” has been posted to the ZendCon Sessions. If you missed my talk and are interested, head on over there to check it out! Is it a coincidence that everyone’s favorite Zend pal, Cal Evans, posted it on April Fool’s Day? That’s for you to decide. :) Thanks, Cal!

Since I posted my Zend_Log_Writer_Mail proposal and asked for feedback on fw-core, it’s gotten a bit of traction in the comments. Perhaps it will be officially reviewed and placed into the incubator before php|tek 2008 in May because it’s part of my “Robust Batch Processing with PHP” talk. Special thanks to Thomas Fritz, Lars Strojny, Tomas Markauskas, Apaella, and Vincent de Lau for the feedback and “+1"s thus far.

For you Atlantans that may read my blog, I’ll be speaking at this week’s Atlanta PHP meetup. Specifically, I’ll be presenting on “Robust Batch Processing with PHP,” which I’m also slated to present at php|tek 2008 in May. Also, special thanks to all Atlanta PHP attendees for allowing me to use them as my guinea pigs before taking new talks out to conferences. You regulars know that I’ve done this with other talks in the past. You’re a very gracious, brave bunch, so thanks, everyone! :)
