		<description><![CDATA[FOWD 2008 is now over, the contacts have been contacted and the meetings made (well, planned, but it sounded better my way). I am now sitting back after eight hours of emailing and phoning current clients, potential clients and other freelances. Oh, and I brought a really sweet new mic, but more on that later...<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=porteightyeight.com&blog=5116523&post=88&subd=porteightyeight&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article examines how PHP handles passing of variables internally, as well as how this relates to memory usage. This information is very useful for any professional PHP developer as it shows how passing variables by reference will normally result in more (not less) memory being used.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=porteightyeight.com&blog=5116523&post=71&subd=porteightyeight&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
