Ah, that would be me. Every night, I work on open source projects
written in good languages; but four days a week from 9:00 till 5:00 my
other nature takes over, and there is a struggle between the forces of
Good and Evil. The Evil side is strong, but even there the Good side
is not completely unheard; there are occasional times when I fight off
the PHP influence. (I'm still confident that we will eventually move
off PHP altogether. My boss reckons it'll never happen, but I can be
patient...)
