From Pro PHP Podcast:
Q: What do you think are the three largest failings of PHP and Security?
“I agree with some things that Terry Chay has said about this: that the things that tend to make PHP insecure also tend to be the things that make PHP easy to work with.”

Summer is here and Lunch 2.0 is starting up again. There are two events scheduled already, and from two of my favorite Web 2.0 startups to boot!
The first one will be at LinkedIn. Which is important because their founder [...]
Some of the more astute readers of my last article may have noticed that it took 40 seconds to run the LinkedIn sync on my address book. That’s not really surprising. Sync is slow and UI needs to accommodate it. Plaxo does this by popping up a warning and detaching the sync process so you [...]
Speaking of Plaxo and LinkedIn, it looks like some people at my former company actually listened to the moral of the Underpants Gnomes talk and launched Plaxo-LinkedIn integration as a premium feature (as well as a Labs section).
I tried it out and the first screen I got was a rejection because Safari isn’t supported. This [...]
My favorite productivity trick has got to be moving everything on my desktop into a folder to be looked at later and everything in my inbox into the ” refile” mailbox.
An empty desktop and a clean mail folder and all of a sudden you’re more productive.
I think the technical term for this is “pushing the [...]
I am the very definition of lazy.
Case in point: I pulled three all-nighters in two weeks in order to allow our widget partners to do the work of pimping my Tagged profile with
which is a round-about way of saying:
Before this I was working on infrastructure. The problem with infrastructure is nobody can see it. Widgets [...]
Last week I skipped out of work for a few hours to hang at Web 2.0 Expo which was promoted by Dave McClure.
I had to scum a coupon code from Scott which was making the rounds, when I asked Dave a few months back, he was not very forthcoming. Maybe he misunderstood that all I [...]
Out of nowhere, the tired old dog of PHP compilation rears its ugly head.
Here is an recent e-mail exchange that puts it in its place (along with some information about code browsers and documentors and a lot of confusion on my part). I don’t think anyone is going to mind me posting these since the [...]
I removed this rant from my last entry.

I like to say Web 2.0 is just Web 1.0 on the cheap. But that doesn’t mean we’re any less losers.
The only difference is instead of being about the New Economy, it’s about how the Old Media “just doesn’t get it.” And instead of talking about when [...]
“2 Drink Minimum” by 500hatsYou’ll have to read until the end to find out why I included this photo.
Holly wrote recently that your most passionate users don’t necessarily build the best products. It’s really worth a read.
I think the problem comes from the fact that there is often a large difference between what people say [...]
