The PHP|Tropics conference was a great deal of fun and an excellent break from the monotony of work, sleep, work... I would like to thank the organizers (Marco & Arbi) for taking the time to organize this event and have it go without a hitch.

To those who decided to skip the sandy beaches and the inviting pool to hear the talks, my sympathies :-).

The slides from both of my talks are now available online at: Starting PHP Performance Talk: PDF PowerPoint Flash

Aside from the PHP related matters a new term was coined during the conference; shifted - To be left drunk and penniless at night in down town Cancun.
