The Life and Times of Michael Shadle

After a few weeks of people running it in production without any issues, I'm proud to say that PHP-FPM for PHP 5.3.0 can now drop it's "Release Candidate" title and is now in "production"

Download PHP-FPM: http://php-fpm.org/download/

Remember, PHP 5.3.x has a lot of differences than PHP 5.2.x - be sure to read the Changelog, migration guide, etc. located here: http://php.net/releases/5_3_0.php - watch out for a lot of E_DEPRECATED messages

However, I am excited about the performance improvements, mysqlnd, php.ini syntax stuff, support for htscanner like .htaccess file override capabilities and more.

In the future, PHP-FPM will no longer be a patch (at least, it shouldn't be) - there is now a new project on Launchpad that Andrei helped start that is a standalone PHP-FPM. It still requires PHP sources to compile it (for now) but it will allow the project to move at a quicker pace and not be bundled directly into PHP. Join the project and see how you can contribute today! https://launchpad.net/php-fpm/

Just as we get to a completely new angle on the Terminator timeline, FOX may pull the plug. This will make me very angry - killing Arrested Development was bad enough. Then they killed Standoff. This one still has a chance. Please FOX. Don't kill it when the show has taken such an interesting turn. The whole timeline is altered now and I would love to see where it goes. So do millions of others. (Yes, the article is a couple months old, I'm finally getting around ranting about it.)
