<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I've been working on Gearman for the upcoming images section here at Digg and, since we're a pure PHP shop (we're hiring!), I set off to create a PHP client that I plan on submitting to PEAR. It's based on the Python library (don't get me started on PHP's lack of a extendable socket class). Kudos to whomever wrote the Python library; I liked your style.
