Working at 10gen
As of today I am working for 10gen, the company behind MongoDB. I have been contracting with them for a few months to work on the PHP driver for MongoDB. I am now making the switch to a full time position.
I am responsible for supporting MongoDB in the PHP ecosystem through driver development, integration with open source tools, community support, and developer advocacy. For now, I will concentrate to get the driver into a better shape, and speaking about MongoDB and PHP.
I have already given a few talks on the subject, and if you would like me to speak at your user group or conference, please let me know. If you have any comments on using MongoDB with PHP, I would love to hear them too.
I am looking forwards with the awesome team at 10gen. Both with team in London, as well as with the folks in Palo Alto, New York and Dublin. 10gen is also hiring a few more people for a similar position in New York and Palo Alto. Have a look at the job posting here if you are interested.

My First Lapwing!
I went to the London Wetland Centre yesterday, for a day out in nature.
While hiding in a hide, this chap and a friend showed up starting to forage for grubs.

@Edent Seems like my Android stopped sending coordinates to @openbenches as well, which is surprising as I haven't updated anything as far as I'm aware. Could it be a problem with the reader in your side after the latest changes and the addition of the warning?
