And the next employer is…
After the last post, weird things started happening. But, the funemployment is over, I signed a new contract. And I found some positions that are still open.

Goodbye Zend
As most of you probably know, I’ve been working for Zend Technologies since medio 2007 (first DevZone, then eBiz team). But to all things comes an end, and I have signed the “Termination agreement” that Zend handed me, which means I will no longer be working for Zend as of May 2nd, 2011. This also means I’m open for new opportunities. Let the funemployment begin.

I don’t like pyramid schemes, but if both Matthew Weier O’Phinney and Ivo Jansch are participating, who am I to stop the trail? So here’s my list of seven(ish!) things you may or may not know about me (likely the latter), after receiving a tag from Ivo Jansch.

Hello twitterverse!
People have tried for almost a year to get me on twitter. Until now, I have always declined the invitations, and ignored the pleads. But now, things have changed. For a side project, I need to be very up to date with what goes on in the PHP world, and not be the last to know. So I finally caved in: I signed up for a Twitter account.

Full frontal
A couple of weeks ago, the PHP Enterprise Management Magazine Newsletter approached me with a request to do an interview with me for their section ‘Developers World’. My first PHP related interview, and I’m actually quite fond of how it turned out. If you want to know a bit more about me, read on for the link.

Dear Google, I am not retarded!
A search engine excels or fails with the results it returns. It’s not the number of results that count, but the result the user was looking for. Google became famous with this. It found what you were looking for. You didn’t need a degree in computer science, it just found what you were looking for.

Dutch PHP usergroups wins 4 Elephpants and the top-committer title in PHP TestFest
Today the PHP site announced the results of the QA TestFest in a wrap up article on the php.net site. First of all, I must admit that I was extremely disapointed with the amount of people that participated. Only 30?!? Of the huge world-wide community?!? That can’t be justified… Either way, it appears that the dutch PHP usergroup team has done their job quite well.

Shopping for a camera, web 2.0 style
When you need pictures taken on a very short notice, an option is to buy a camera yourself, and take them. But then you have to go through a pletorha of camera’s, to find a good one. Instead of just comparing specs, what if there was an instant way to see results from each camera? Enough results to eliminate “just” bad photographers?

False marketing? Or illegal underage porn?
While browsing, my mouse jumped, just before I made a click. This jump made me click on one of the ads on the side, which happened to be for some webcam site. While being stunned about the amazing high payrate (80 eurocents per minute(!!!)), and wondering if there actually would be people desperate enough to call such a line, something remarkable caught my attention.
