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.

I think this was my favourite photo of the set that I took. It's not at maximum coverage, but it does have a sun spot group (4508) just on the cusp of the terminator.

No totality here in London, but still had a great evening out in the local park and taking some snaps.
I did have a nice Solar Filter that I made for my lens, and had many conversations with people from different backgrounds. Kids loves to look through my filter after I was done (ran out of battery power).
More photos later...

Is there somebody who runs PHP on native windows (with Xdebug) and can run a simple script for me?
It must be in a file (`test.php`):
```
<?php
echo microtime(true), "\n";
xdebug_connect_to_client();
echo microtime(true), "\n";
```And run like:
php -dxdebug.log_level=11 -dxdebug.log=c:\temp\xdebug-i.log -dxdebug.client_host=localhost -dxdebug.client_port=9111 -dxdebug.mode=debug c:\temp\test.php
With the port 9111 not open.
Would love to see the output and log file (in a DM).
