I’ll have to admit that when I sat down to interview Jeremy Johnstone at OSCON I didn’t know who he was or anything about him. Most of the other interviews I at least knew who they were and what they had done with/for PHP. I had nothing on Jeremy, all I knew was that he was speaking at OSCON and he worked at Yahoo. As it turns out, it was a very interesting interview. Not for the normal reasons though. If you want more, you’ll have to come inside and read the interview.

One of the great things about my job is the people I get to work with on a daily basis. One of the people that make the experience so much fun is Ms. Te Smith. Te is managing the details of the coming ZendCon so I thought I’d call her up and see how things are shaping up. If you want more than that it will cost you a mouseclick.

One of the great perks of my job is that I get to sit down with people and talk about PHP. I’ll talk to just about anyone about how they are using PHP, what problems they have solved using PHP, or just about anything PHP related. However, most of you don’t care how my aunt implemented a PHP based photo gallery for the family so I’ll stick to publishing the interviews I think you will find interesting. Here is one of those interesting interviews.
