I'm from a government agency and I need your help
Over the past few months, I've been knee-deep in a couple of non-blog website projects. Details are boring, but I will say that some additions to omarphillips.net over the past few months happened indirectly because of these projects (cool points and customized referrer messages are the only two visible changes).
One of the projects, which is for work, will be "going live" this week. Consequently, I've been a bit preoccupied with it over these past few days (this explains my good score on that quiz I mentioned yesterday). It's bad enough where I actually had a crazy dream a few nights ago where I got a call from someone who was from a government agency. He was calling me specifically for assistance with PHP code, and in much greater detail, he said it was a matter of national security. So of course I didn't hesitate to produce some code to do what he wanted. After I gave him the code, I was admittedly a little suspicious, because the thing he asked me to do involved pretty basic PHP. You'd think I'd be suspicious because he was calling ME for help, but no. That seemed perfectly natural to me at the time, I guess. Anyway, the FBI came to my door a few days later to put me under arrest because I had been in contact with known criminals who were using my code to steal millions of dollars. I woke up as they were preparing to cuff me.
This means two things: 1) I need to take a break from PHP; and 2) I need to take a break from watching that new NBC show, Chuck.

Or 3.) You need to have better outcomes for yourself in your dreams. Maybe next time it should be very Ocean's Eleven and you use your code to steal the money, get the girl, and hang out with Brad Pitt. Jail endings suck.

Dreams about PHP police are not good dude. I heard one guy had PHPicitis-which is PHP police dream syndrome-and he never woke up. All he kept saying in his sleep was, "No more cookies!". The docters never did find out what his obsession with cookies were...

Dreams can be really scary. It's terrible when real life starts entering your dreams. But at least you woke up before you went directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

I thought "Chuck" was a comedy and then I saw a commercial for it and realized I was wrong. The name "Chuck" just seems like a comedy name to me...
I don't know what PHP is, but good luck with that.

Or 4) you could turn your nightmare into money. Maybe this is the pilot for a show: From PHP Guru to National Security threat…it's a comedy of errors.!
Guest appearances by Bratney Spear/hockey dude look-alike person and the occasional Ninja.

I think this is a national epidemic. My dreams have been all kinds of strange lately... or maybe it's just people that watch "Chuck." I can't imagine there's a ton of us out there. I wouldn't worry about "Chuck" too much though, I'm pretty sure the writer's strike is about to kill everything we know and love.
