Blog Spam?

A few minutes ago I was reading George Schlossnagle's blog entry about DSOs when I suddenly noticed that many comments on his blog entry were actually spam. It's really sad that not only has spam crippled email as we knew it in the mid-90s but it's also attacking blogs now.
I guess that unlike email, blogs are easier to protect by adding some touring test. Time for me to post a feature request to blogger.

I'm finally a Zend Certified Engineer

I finally found time this week to take the Zend PHP Certification exam. I was happy to see that although I passed, it was a challenging exam.
I can't wait for my diploma :)

PHP 5 Power Programming Released!

I've wanted to publish a book on PHP already for years. However, both my PHP work and real-job never allowed me to find enough time to do so. Finally, I managed to take some time off and spend time writing the book with Stig Bakken and Derick Rethans, two prominent PHP community members. I hope PHP 5 Power Programming is all people would expect.
