PHP Con UK 2007

Published February 23, 2007 Devzone , Ninja , PHP. phpconuk , Rasmus Lerdorf , Zend Leave a Comment

Just about to kick off the PHP Conference UK 2007, here in Soulth London.

Should be an interesting day to find fellow PHP Ninja’s who might be able to help me out soon.

Rasmus Lerdorf, the father of PHP is here, as is Cal Evans, editor of Zend’s Devzone. So, hopefully we shold be able to pick up some great tips. Though, as I said. I am here to mainly make contact with potential cohorts in my quest for the perfect podcasting site 😉

O’Reilly are also here selling books for 35% off. Bargain!

I’m using my OPML Editor on my laptop to do a bit of live blogging over here

Who is this ‘kosso’ anyway?

I am a 'Createc'. A creative technologist, entrepreneur/ hacker/ geek. Worked on building things on the web for over 12 years.

Used to work at BBC News interactive and created the publishing and delivery systems for video news to get distributed on huge screens in major railway stations around the country.

I left the BBC to become CTO / sole-lead architect/developer at podcast.com for three years.

I have now left them to build a start up a new system called 'Phreadz', which is a 'Social Multimedia Conversation Network', integrating everything that is 'V.I.T.A.L' to us on the web. Video, Images, Text, Audio and Links.

I built the whole thing my myself. I programmed every line of code and positioned every pixel. I'm looking forward to attracting an hiring new members of the team to help me out! :)

There are currently over 1000 happy and helpful beta testers on the system so far and one client of a white-labelled solution.
