About Me
I am the COO for ONEsite. I manage the day to day operations of the development and production teams. I've been here since the early days of ONEsite developing ONEsite's software and strategy. I architected the .ONE platform and am thrilled with how things have progressed and where we stand. Lot's of exciting things are under way!
Position:
COO
Favorite Projects:
Chat in Interactive Media Player; Blog system; Web services architecture; Database driven presentation layer; New Widget architecture; oneSQL architecture
Favorite Experience:
Call me crazy, but I actually enjoy the grind of bringing a large project to completion. I worked an insane amount of hours during some of our earlier projects and loved every minute of it! Well, almost every minute...

Flickr's head of "plumbing" posted a fun teaser game a few days ago by posting a graph which showed a large drop in CPU utilization on a Flickr web server and asked the community what caused the drop.
ONEsite is fortunate enough to have run PHP5 from the very beginning (2004/2005) and been able to take advantage of all of the wonderful OOP features and enhancements that were the basis of Zend Engine II.
PHP is a terrific language that allows for rapid prototyping and enterprise level performance. It also has a great community built up around it and fantastic developers.
Personally, I am looking forward to PHP 5.3 being released as generally available so that we can take advantage of late static bindings. It's a great time to be a PHP developer, and it's also easier than ever to share data between programs in different languages.

I spent 90% of my time on the computer in one of three types of programs:
Web Browser (Firefox, Safari, IE7, etc.)
E-mail (Outlook or Outlook Web Access)
Unix Shell
Firefox is my browser of choice. On the e-mail front it seems (unfortunately) as though nothing will ever be good enough to replace Outlook. However, I really think there is room for a little bit of innovation in shells and ssh clients.
On Windows I love Putty. I tend to have a dozen Putty sessions open at any given time. However, Putty lacks tab organization and my Windows Vista taskbar gets awfully crowded even when I have the programs stacked on top of each other. Wintabber helps organize Putty windows but it often has odd flickering issues and Alt+Tab issues. Putty would be damn-near perfect if it just added tabs natively.
On OSX the Terminal is pretty darn good. But it lacks some simple Putty features like the ability to double click on a word/line to copy it to the clipboard. Furthermore, it lacks the ability to auto-paste upon a right-click. Maybe I should just use the keyboard more, but just those simple Putty-like shortcuts would make the experience so much nicer. I've yet to find a way to enable them.
