Seven Things - Tagged by Derick Rethans

Sebastian Bergmann » 03 January 2009 » in PHP » 3 Comments

I am not a friend of these Internet Memes and usually do not pass batons around etc. - but I guess I have no choice here, since Derick "tagged" me :)

Seven things you may not know about me:

  • The first "foreign" language that I learned was Latin.
  • The first programming language that I mastered was ARexx.
  • The first Open Source project I contributed to was PHP.
  • The first Open Source project I started was phpOpenTracker.
  • I enjoy working on software that helps other developers build better software.
  • I enjoy taking photographs.
  • I enjoy good chocolate and good tea -- and I love to cook.

I then get to pass on the baton to:

These are the rules apparently:

  • Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
  • Share seven facts about yourself in the post - some random, some weird.
  • Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
  • Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.

    Sebastian Nohn was the first (that I know of) to integrate PHPUnit into a CruiseControl build. I found the setup for this too tedious and the result not very satisfying. During IPC 2007 I kicked around some ideas for making it better with Kore and Tobias AFAIR.

    Ah ok, that was the reason why kore asks and supports me to release the first version of phpUnderControl.

    Since Kore, Lars and Marcus forced me to do it:Sebastian's first foreign language was Latin, for me Latin was the reason to start programming (by trying to hack the vocabulary trainer my brother wrote, so I learned Basic instead of Latin)I started PHP s

    When I returned from vacation it looked to me like Planet-PHP blogs were all infected by some strange virus. Everyone seems to be keen on providing 7 things that many people don't know about him. Since I got "tagged" 2 times now (Kore and Sebastian), I'll jump on the bandwagon and also share some secrets with you.
