People wanted a book for PyroCMS, so I wrote one:
This will get you from "I have heard of PyroCMS once before" to building custom modules and themes in next to no time. Plus, it's only £7.
Octopress is a great little CMS for hackers and it works on GitHub pages for free hosting, so a few PHP developers have been known to use it to smash together a basic site even thought it's using Ruby; Boo, hiss, etc. One site I've built with Octopress is for a new podcast I co-host with Ben Edmunds called PHP Town Hall. It needed an iTunes compatible RSS feed, so I built one.
I am from Bristol, so I love to drink cider. I also love to explore my new home in New York by bike, which conflicts with love #1.
I work for Kapture as the Lead Engineer, and I pump out PHP, Python and JavaScript for them by the metric fuckton.
My career has been pretty awesome so far, working on some great projects like CodeIgniter, FuelPHP and PancakeApp, and am still a happy core contributor to PyroCMS which is making way more money now than when I pushed out the first lines of open-source code a few years ago.
Now I mostly blog about devops, whatever I'm learning about and shout down people who I disagree with - because I can't go to bed until people stop being wrong on the internet.
