Re: [PHP] Since I speak with some of you more than people I see in person....

This has been a roller-coaster year for some of us --- certainly
myself included --- but the year has come to a close. I want to take
a moment to wish each and every one of you a safe and wonderful new
year. May 2009 be ten times healthier, happier, and more prosperous
to you and yours than the three best years of your life so far, and
may each year beyond that be better even than the one before.

Did you forget to remove the fortune in your cookie before you ate it?

And as a side note (some of you already know): for my wife and I
closing out the year, we heard the heartbeat of our first child for
the first time today in the ultrasound. Nothing else will ever again
matter as much to me as what I am about to embark upon. I don't think
any song or sound I've ever heard in my entire life was as beautiful
as those few seconds. My heart literally feels so full that it could
burst at any moment.

Dammit, I promised myself I wouldn't cry this year!!

Seriously mate, that rocks. Good luck with it all, and keep us posted.
My sister's having one in Feb but I think they're more scared than
anything else at the moment.

To all of you, thank you for being a part of the PHP project, and
many of you professional and personal parts of my life. Of all of the
communities I've been involved in the last sixteen years or so, this
has always been my favorite. And it's because of you folks.

Aww, shucks!

From the bottom of my (bursting!) heart, thank you, and I look
forward to working alongside all of you in 2009.

Likewise. Personally I have a lot of change planned for 2009 so I
already know it's gonna be turbulent and difficult, but nothing
worthwhile comes easy and I know it's gonna be worth it!

Anyone got an interesting resolution beyond the usual
drinking/smoking/eating less? I intend to spend less non-work hours
sat in front of a computer and blog/twitter more. Those two are
probably mutually exclusive but I'm giving it a shot ;-)

Happy new year all.

-Stuart
