Yeah, so Wordpress and I have been on the outs for a while now, so it shouldn’t be surprising that we’ve broken up.

There’s a new girl in my life. Her name is ExpressionEngine. And she rocks my world, baby.

Unlucky in feeds:

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Ya know, I had a pretty crappy junior high experience, so I feel for the kid, but I cannot say that I ever thought to myself “hey, my classmates are constantly giving me shit, I think I’ll take a dump in front of them.”

Paul Reinheimer interviewed me for the Pro::PHP Podcast a couple weeks ago, and the podcast was just posted today. If you’re interested in hearing me ramble about secure PHP development, download it or subscribe to the feed.

I say “uh” and “erm” a lot, which makes me sounds like a real pro, lemme tell ya.
