I'm Eric; I've been writing PHP since about 2001, Python since about 2007, and have been running Linux servers of various types since about 2002.
I'm a movie fiend and a pretty reasonable cook. Myself, two other programmers and a designer started a web consultancy (mostly Django) in January and are just starting to bring on employees; it's going far better than I expected it to, so that eats up most of my time.
When I do have spare time, I've been reimplementing the basics of Django in PHP (an ORM, URL routing, templating with inheritance, session- and server-based caching, DB abstraction, auto-generated CRUD with custom type handling, automatic form generation from classes, and a couple other things). I got the testing architecture working today; it's pretty much done. We're probably going to open source it when I've written test suites for the built-in apps and start using it for company projects.
Fun stuff!
