My first press quote

I was out at EclipseCon last week, and I even blogged about it on my work blog, so I hope I didn't neglect this blog for too long! Meanwhile, at the start of the last week, I got a phone call from an InfoWorld reporter asking for my opinion of the recent certified PHP release from Zend. Not surprisingly, a few hours later, a story about the release went up on InfoWorld and quoted me as an industry expert (::cough::). Apart from the strangeness of seeing your name in print and reading about yourself in the third person, it's also very cool and was one of the things I wanted to get out of becoming an analyst -- professional respect for my idle opinions *wink*. I thought it was cool (just like in The Onion's best satirical pieces) how after saying a few sentences, the next sentence is something I "added".

Seriously though, in the big picture, my quote was about a fairly arcane and technical subject if I do say so myself, but hey, I have to start somewhere. One of my colleagues snagged a USA Today quote, so I yet have miles to go before I sleep.
