PHP
With so many web languages out there, choosing the technology for your site can be overwhelming. But through all the noise, some things are clear.
PHP is the most commonly-used server-side language in the world, powering more sites than any other. It offers all the speed and power of proprietary solutions like ASP, so your visitors get the advanced features they're used to. But PHP is open source, which means it's free, it's widely supported, and it won't make you dependent on a single company for help and upgrades.
I've been building sites using PHP for over five years, and remain thrilled by the continuing development of the language's features and community. While up-and-coming languages like Ruby offer exciting new opportunities, PHP remains a tried-and-true platform that can cover the needs of 99% of sites, large or small.

Began development on a time tracking widget for the Yahoo! Widget Engine. I'm terribly dissatisfied with the time tracking software out there. My program aims for an extremely simple, punch clock interface, but with versatile export and reporting options.
