I gave my second talk at #ConFoo today, this one was on Searching without the Database. This talk was based on a situation at work where I replaced a MySQL search solution with a Sphinx + Memcached solution for higher performance. If you're interested, here's the slides: Search without the DB - ConFoo 2010.pdf.

If you attended my talk, you can rate it on the Joind.in Page

Hi, I’m Paul Reinheimer, a developer working on the web.

I co-founded WonderProxy which provides access to over 200 proxies around the world to enable testing of geoip sensitive applications. We've since expanded to offer more granular tooling through Where's it Up

My hobbies are cycling, photography, travel, and engaging Allison Moore in intelligent discourse. I frequently write about PHP and other related technologies.
