Last night was the first PHP meetup session for 2008. I didn’t spend anytime preparing for it so I babbled my way through a few things here and there. Thankfully Terry Chay came through in his true PHP terrorist form and went nuts about JavaScript frameworks. I love it when he gets into what he’s talking about. As much as he says he doesn’t like to give presentations and talks, I don’t think the meetup would be succeeding without. BTW, he likes YUI because it reminds him of the way PHP developers would do it.
I need to come up with a better topic for next month. I think a more web 2.0ish (god I hate saying that) topic like creating an ajaxified page would be good, but it didn’t seem like a popular idea amongst the members there last night. Perhaps a little later this year.
I took a few pictures, but as you’ll see, I suck with a camera. I can’t believe how many ghosts I have floating around in there.

I decided to try using twitter today. Was never really my thing, but a few people said I should so what the hell, I did. Nothing like the feeling of being a sheep and going with the crowd. 
I really doubt I’ll keep up on it. We’ll see though. I did finally write my first post here (this one) after all. Now all I need to write is the about me so you all know who the heck I am.

I am sad I missed it! You should watch some of Terry’s PHP talks online. They are HILARIOUS!
