Seven Things - Tagged by Rob Allen
Like Rob Allen , I don't really understand these tagged memes either, however, after he said such nice things about me, I thought I'd have a go.
Seven things you may not know about me:
-
The first thing I did with PHP was crawling websites for e-mail addresses and sending spam.
-
I have three years of dancing lessons.
-
I have never seen Aurora .
-
I know more about date/time stuff than you can ever imagine.
-
My favourite sport is skiing.
-
I started writing Xdebug as an accident.
-
I like cooking and drinking.
I then get to pass on the baton to:
-
Pierre Joye because he tries to make Windows work with PHP.
-
Elizabeth Smith because she does evil things to PHP.
-
Zoë Slattery because she tries to make PHP awesomer by writing tests.
-
Sebastian Bergmann because he tries to get us to write better code by requiring tests.
-
Stefan Esser because he still wants to have a more secure PHP if he's really honest.
-
Kore Nordmann because he does very crazy things with PHP.
-
Scott MacVicar because he's been naughty, and because he's a good friend.
These are the rules apparently:
-
Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
-
Share seven facts about yourself in the post - some random, some wierd.
-
Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
-
Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.
