Announcement: php[tek] 2017 Conference Talks

Thursday, January 12th, 2017

I’m pleased to announce that in May, I will be giving two talks at the excellent php[tek] conference in Atlanta, GA. One will be a technical talk on computational algorithmic complexity. The other is a comparison of long-distance hiking and software development, which I developed over the course of my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and which I’m particularly looking forward to giving.

I missed last year’s php[tek] because I was on the Appalachian Trail at the time. This was the first tek I’ve missed since 2010, so I’m happy that I get to go this year partially to talk about why I wasn’t there last year!

For more information on my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, please feel free to see my hiking blog, longstride.net.

Slides for CodeWorks talk posted

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

This morning, in the lovely “Sauna” room at CodeWorks DC, I presented my talk on “What Happens When a Website Crashes: A Case Study” on how The Bivings Group scaled the Pickens Plan website after it stopped working following a national advertising campaign after the first 2008 presidential debate drew thousands of people to the website.

The slides are now available from my talks page.

If you were in the audience, please feel feel free to rate the talk at joind.in. I welcome your comments.
