[Lloyd]

Hi guys,

My name is Lloyd, been a PHP dev for about 7-8 years. I work for a
company called BrightPearl who are based across the road from the
PHPSW meeting, so easy for me :)

Originally from near Swansea, lived in Cardiff for the past 10 years,
and been in Bristol for the past 5 months (I like to cover as much of
the catchment area as possible).

Will see you guys at the first meeting, I'm happy to talk, but I'll
attend a couple of meetings and get something in mind first :)

Cheers, Lloyd.

[Rob Gamm]

Hi all,

I'm Rob and I fail at using google groups! Sorry whoever I sent that
PM to :)

I've been working PHP for 6 or so years, but only professionally for
the last few. I worked at an eCommerce shop called BluBolt in Bath
until I recently made the leap to freelancing. I'm originally from
Kent but now live in Chippenham, though I'll hopefully be moving to
Bristol in the next month or so provided I can find somewhere!

Look forward to seeing you all at the meeting,
Rob

Hi All,

Ok then, since I've been lurking on the PHPSW list for a week now,
it's time I said a few words. :)

I'm Pete, living and working in Chippenham. Although I am a full-
time .NET developer *Ducks* I still find time to use and mess around
with PHP. I have been using PHP for nearly 12 years now, and I have
used it on many projects, including my own personal project, the
Fantasy Formula 1 GP website. http://www.ff1gp.com/

Looking forward to the 1st meeting tomorrow.

[Gary Hockin]

Hello,

I'm Gary, living in Swansea, but my company is based in Cardiff. I've been working as a Web Developer for 15 years, and specifically working with the Zend Framework for around 18 months. I am currently working with both PHP and the ZF writing applications for Facebook. I'm looking forward to meeting you tomorrow, I usually lurk on IRC in #zftalk as Spabby.

[Stuart Herbert]

Sounds like we're going to have a nice turn-out for the first meeting tomorrow :)
