Blogger: promote thyself!
by Vidyut Luther on Dec.03, 2007, under humor, php, rants
Since it’s the end of the year, and a lot of the “year in review/new years resolutions” type posts will be coming up every where.. I would like to thank all the people who did not tell me about Zend Framework, the PHP Abstract Podcast, and other community events.
I really would like to thank all the developers who did not post tips to PHP Advent, because if it wasn’t for their non contribution, I may have spent more time reading about PHP than reading important posts like:
- Why self promotion is bad
- How this blog post is not self promotion
- How some bloggers have ethics, and don’t link to other bloggers when giving them credit (cuz that just creates a self promotion circle jerk).
Thanks to everyone who didn’t tell me about faking the unexpected, ways to secure my code, and tools to help me increase my productivity, the tough love is really appreciated.
Because of you, I was able to to do less in more time, and that is just the way I want things to be.
I look forward to not reading your posts next year.

Excellent. I’m not sure my recent blogging applies to anything you mentioned above but I’ll be sure to continue my random mix of vaguely PHP related content in the new year in the hope that some find it useful.
The cards comment still mystifies me. I remember reading about the Advent calendar and podcasts on planet-php recently but nothing about cards. Oh well, I won’t loose sleep over it.

Jonathan,
There are cards out there, with the names and photos of some of PHP’s most egotistical and vociferous users. That’s what the card comment was about.

You don’t seem too happy! I think some people have left you out. You should come over to TalkPHP and we’ll show you what community love is

Do you have an irc channel? I want a place where people can self promote themselves constantly, and in real time.. this whole web thing is a fad anyway.
