About Cal Evans

Many moons ago, at the tender age of 14, Cal touched his first computer. (We're using the term "computer" loosely here, it was a TRS-80 Model 1) Since then his life has never been the same. He graduated from TRS-80s to Commodores and eventually to IBM PC's. For the past 10 years Cal has worked with PHP and MySQL on Linux OSX, and when necessary, Windows. He has built on a variety of projects ranging in size from simple web pages to multi-million dollar web applications. When not banging his head on his monitor, attempting a blood sacrifice to get a particular piece of code working, he enjoys building and managing development teams using his widely imitated but never patented management style of "management by wandering around". Cal is currently based in Nashville, TN and is gainfully unemployed as the Chief Marketing Officer of Blue Parabola, LLC. Cal is happily married to wife 1.28, the lovely and talented Kathy. Together they have 2 kids who were both bright enough not to pursue a career in IT. Cal blogs at http://blog.calevans.com and is the founder and host of Day Camp 4 Developers

    Wez,
    Can’t seem to find the slides where you talk about OmniTI’s examples (especially the SMTP sending section). Is this intentional?

    Great talk, btw!

    Thanks,
    Travis

    I didn’t notice that this audio recording went up, so I didn’t notice Travis’ comment about the slide deck missing the OmniTI slides.

    It just so happens that I was looking over my various presentations and putting them on slideshare; you can find the version that matches this talk here:

    One other minor difference is that I’ve amended the slide where I talk about DKIM not having a mechanism for publishing policy; there is a draft being put through the IETF that may become an RFC "soon".

    Seems that the mp3 link is dead?
