He details it more in the post:

Paste Ninja is a pastebin application that lets you to share code snippets with others. Instead of flooding an IRC channel or your Instant Messenger conversations with lines of source code, you can paste it online for public viewing.

The world probably doesn't need another pastebin app, either, but there are several features in store that other pastebins don't have.

Features for Paste Ninja include:

  • the ability to create threaded pastes,
  • set an expiration date for the entry,
  • set a password to protect the code,
  • see how many times its been viewed
  • set the comments on a line-by-line basis
  • and - a very cool feature - submitting it via an email account versus just through the site.

    First off, you may now view my Dojo Webinar online (requires login and registration at zend.com). Attendance was phenomenal, and I've had some really good feedback. [...] Second, I've completed what I'm calling version 1.0.0 of the pastebin application I demo'd in the webinar. The PHP code is fully unit tested (though I haven't yet delved into using DOH! to test the JS), and incorporates a number of best practices and tips that Pete Higgins from Dojo was kind enough to provide to me.

    This application can be downloaded directly from his site, ready to drop in and test with your local Zend Framework install.

Pastebins are a simple collaboration tool allowing the posting of textual data (most commonly code) to a public place anonymously.

    This post will show you step by step, how to create your own personal pastebin. If you don't know already, a pastebin is a website that lets people share text. These kinds of sites are useful when collaborating with project members who are in different locations, because it lets you quickly share pasted data with all members, instead of emailing the text back and forth. Some popular pastebins are pastebin.com, and pastebin.ca.

    They develop the backend first, creating a simple MySQL database to hold the information. From there, it's just a bit of PHP away from allowing users to post their information. It's a very basic kind of interface (no feedback capabilities or anything), but with a little tweaking, it could definitely do more.
