You may or may not know that I'm terribly busy at work at the moment, rewriting a large application that has its roots in PHP3 (oh yeah) and is a crazy mix of HTML and PHP. Things like 'abstraction', 'layers', or even just 'separating code and presentation' are completely alien concepts there....

I will be participating in this year's Summer of Code, working on WordPress internationalization. You can read my full proposal online. Of over 6,000 applications, about 900 were accepted. WordPress could only accept 10 out of about 90 applications. It's bound to be an interesting summer with working on WordPress and Habari at the same time, plus $work, photography, and 'real' life....

This madness must end.

As you may or may not know, I'm now part of the core development committee of Habari. Habari is a next generation blogging platform written in object-oriented PHP using the model view controller design pattern. There, enough buzzwords?...
