A New Beginning

I decided to redo my web site. I plan to add occasional updates in popular blog fashion, but I'm not using any blogging software, so no feeds, comments, etc. Things will probably be a bit sparse in the beginning.

I recently finished an article for php|architect about cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgeries (CSRF) that will appear in the October issue. This is a nice magazine for PHP developers that's available in both print and electronic formats.

I had a great time at OSCON and had a chance to meet a lot of nice people. My presentation, PHP Under Attack, is available online at:

I hope you enjoy the new site.
