	public static function create($params)
	{
		return new self($params);
	}

	public function execute()
	{
    my_long_running_function($this->_data);
	}
}

// a queue that connects to beanstalkd
$queue = new Sera_Queue_BeanstalkQueue("127.0.0.1");
$queue->select('llama_tasks');

// enqueue the task
$queue->enqueue(MyTask::create('some data'));

// normally this would be in a seperate process
$worker = new Sera_Queue_QueueWorker($queue);
$worker->execute();
