Chris Shiflett

Hi, I'm Chris, a web developer and a founding member of Analog. I live and work in Brooklyn, NY.


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:

http://talks.php.net/show/php-under-attack

I hope you enjoy the new site.

Following your reference in the most recent "new beginning" entry, I stopped by to see the first ever post. Then, to my amazement, I noticed that it was posted on my 30th birthday - spent at the beach with a frisbee, a football and old friends - in 2003. Maybe not significant, but the co-incidence after we've worked so hard on this latest version made me smile for all of that.

Yeah, that's a neat coincidence. :-)

Style Guide

Line breaks are converted to paragraphs. Also use:

  • <a href="" title="">text</a>1
  • <em>text</em>
  • <blockquote><p>text</p></blockquote>
  • <code>2  <?php  if ($foo) {      $foo = TRUE;  }  ?></code>
  1. Note: <code> can be used inline (e.g. in paragraphs) or in a block as shown. Include whitespace and newlines in blocks.

Please enter Chris (my first name) below. This is a primitive spam prevention technique, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
