DPC Day 1

Friday, June 13. 2008

Well, its a misleading title because the day is only half over but the Dutch PHP Conference 2008 is well and truly underway! Today I've been in the Zend Framework tutorial given by Matthew Weir O'Phinney, which is a full-day session. Its been excellent - with some concepts, some examples, and now a real working application to take a look around and learn from. I've had to work with ZF a little bit lately and I wish I'd been able to have this tutorial before I did that!

I've been able to catch up with a lot of people since arriving late last night and making the mistake of not going to bed until late because I wasn't tired (still on UK time) and then having to get up early today! Tonight we have an Ibuildings employees event which will be great, I'm excited to put faces to names for all my colleagues - the downside of the telecommute is that I mostly know people on Skype or IRC and not in real life. Later on there is a pre-conference social as well (from 8pm) - which is why my day is only half done :)

Looking forward to tomorrow, when there will be a phpwomen stand upstairs outside the main hall, we'll be giving out shirts (they're white this year) so if you want one then come and get it! Tomorrow at 2pm I'm giving my talk "PHP Deployment with Subversion" which looks like it will be well attended. Oh and its Worldwide Knit In Public Day as well so I'll be attempting to fit that in as well!

Good luck tomorrow!

I hope the Dutch were at the conference and not watching the football?! Well done to them.

Hiya LornaJane,

All the best for the Dutch Conference – sounds like Zend is worth a look!

I’ll be WWKIPing too :)

Take care,
Kathy

If it’s anything like the Asus that I have, then it should b e relatively easy to put Ubuntu on it, like I’ve done with m ine. Put installer on to a bootable USB stick…

It should be possible to automatically close down the wifi c onnection and unload the kernel module on hibernate. Look a t the scripts in /etc/apm/suspend.d for example. /etc/de fault/acpi-support might also have some options to get you s omewhere. I put my normal ethernet driver module (e100 [...]

dotjay: Shared offices are OK, but I do like the peace and quiet of not sharing I must say. I get a bit loopy though i f I stay home for too long! The offline time trick is a goo d one – I like to at least turn off the monitor and use a pe n sometimes.

I’m so glad that you settled into telecommuting so well. As you know, I’ve been working for myself and/or telecommuting for the last five years. I’ve never really had the experienc e of a shared office, but I do use Skype a lot, sometimes ta lking with work mates for hours at a time. The trick i [...]

shaun: I didn’t anticipate problems, I just didn’t think it worked in that way – but I’m completely happy to be told oth erwise :) Don’t be surprised that curl lets you do weird an d wonderful things, lots of tools are like that and it allow s you to use them in ways that the original author had [...]

ok, I’ve been experimenting with this, ‘switch’ing on the RE QUEST_METHOD to implement post, get, put, delete for a db r esource; so far I’ve not had problems using $SERVER[‘QUERY STRING’] and parse_str()... what problems do you anticipate? (I’m not sending files, everything fits in the string [...]
