Core PHP Programming
I’m reading Core PHP Programming by Leon Atkinson to learn PHP for another part of this site (coming soon) and to dip my toes back into programming after five years of doing tech support and product management with NetDynamics and iPlanet Ecommerce Solutions, a Sun/Netscape Alliance. Currently on personal leave, my most recent assignment was product management for iPlanet Application Server

“NEXT YEAR, Rodd Millner, an Australian ex-commando, plans to one-up the American hero Chuck Yeager, the first person to travel faster than the speed of sound. In a stunt that will either redefine the boundaries of science or the boundaries of idiocy, Millner intends to don a space suit and ride a balloon 130,000 feet up to the edge of space. Once he gets there, he will jump.”
This will either become the next rich boy hobby or a sad death that will be hailed as heroic and amazing adventure by those for whom life without excitement isn’t living at all.
