I’m Not Dead, I’m Just Out of Ideas (For Now)
Just wanted to write a quick post to let everyone know I haven’t lost interest in writing or fallen off the face of the planet… I’ve just been incredibly busy with other things. Also, frankly, I can’t think of anything compelling to write about. I used to think it was important to try and get articles up at some set frequency, but I find that the quality of my stuff falls short if I’m forcing myself to do so. Anyway, I’m basically now of the mind that I’ll write about stuff whenever I come up with something… could be twice a week, could be once in three months. Part of my major hang-up is that I don’t like to write articles that cover topics that have been thoroughly covered elsewhere, unless I’ve got something new to add to the mix.
Now, all that being said, I’m more than happy to take suggestions from anyone if they’ve got them. If there’s something you’d like to know more about, or you just have a cool idea for an article, drop me a line in the comments. Otherwise, stay tuned for new stuff whenever I think of it 
Also, you can always follow me on twitter, or subscribe to my RSS feed as I post various interesting links and randomness in both places.

Any problems that you run into and the solutions that you find you should put up. Even if its things that people have covered you may come up with a problem and the solution to it that others are having.
Some ideas I have had but havent gotten a blog going are utilizing a wiki for yourself and others. This is a good start to coming up with blog posts. Basically using it within your company to help out others with problems and solutions that could later become blog posts to help those on the web.
Another idea is coming up with what might seem as unusual problems. My best example that I am trying to think of how to explain is using LDAP with PHP for user authentication. Most people would say that is dumb and it is but in a corporate environment that uses Active Directory it can be better than duplicating everyone in a MySQL database.
Anyway I do enjoy your posts. Found this site because of your API explanations which were very helpful. Keep up the good work.

I quite liked your articles on REST. I maintain a framework for building php web applications in accordance with HTTP (You might call that RESTful). Maybe you’d be interested in taking a look at it and give a small review?

I thought you were dead. Thanks for clearing that up. You continue to be an inspiration, and not just in being alive.
