DrivingMany 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 7 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”.

These days, when not working with PHP, Cal can be found behind a microphone recording podcasts. His most recent project is a technology podcast for non-technology people titled “Sixty Second Tech”.

Cal is currently based in Nashville, TN where is the full-time father of two and fills the rest of his day as the Editor of DevZone, for Zend Technologies.

Cal is happily married to wife 1.24, the lovely and talented Kathy. Together they have 2 kids who are infinitely more intelligent but not nearly as entertaining as his two dogs, Sparky and Linus.

LOOKING FOR MISSING ZENDCON 07 PRESENTATIONS
6:04PM PST · howarddy
It looks like there are still a lot of papers and slides missing. I thought most were supposed to be there in November. I specifically want to see Ramsey's presentation on memcached, which he state would be available shortly after the conference.

What can we do about this???

DEV.ZONE AUTHOR DATABASE MIXED UP?

... or did you forget to mention that when you're have a second identity as Robert Peake?
Just stumbled accorss the article "Recursion in PHP: tapping unharnessed power" (http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/1235) which claims the author is Robert Peake but when you click on the link, this is were you land. A bit irritating if you want to get in touch with the author (that was the case, but my problem has since been (dis)solved). Thought I'd leave a message to let you know ...
