LugRadioLive Wolverhampton 2008

Sunday, July 20. 2008

Yesterday I had an outing to the LUGRadio Live event in Wolverhampton. To be honest this isn't my usual kind of crowd but it was local, the talks looked interesting and so off I went.

Well it was a very interesting day - the highlight was of course meeting Emma from emmajane.net - I enjoyed her talk and also her company for both lunch and dinner. Predictably there was an excellent crowd and I had a wonderful time - a few people were there from WYLUG and I had a really good chat with Robert Collins from Canonical, nominally about bzr but in reality we also put the world to rights which was illuminating and good fun. Here's me and Emma having dinner:



I met a few IRC friends too, some I knew before, some I was hoping to run into and one who stopped me (in my phpwomen shirt) and went "oh, you're the UK girl from phpwomen .... lornajane!!" which was very cool :) I was also impressed by the "low tech wiki" and "low tech open streetmap" ... large pieces of paper and pens.



I also met Dave and Kat from Pale Purple and had a good long chat with them so all in all it was well worth the trip (there are a few more photos in the flickr set if you're interested). Well done to the organisers for a great event!!

Daniel: I completely agree. I do like and use Zend Framewor k, but I already have books about it. When I buy a book on a subject, I don’t really want lots of ZF content. I can on ly assume that because its seen as a “buzz word”, people fee l the need to include it in any books current being wr [...]

I agree with your issues about some of the book turning into a mini ZF tutorial book. I feel that lately a lot of spa ce has been wasted on PHP books re-explaining MVC concepts, THEN introducing ZF (or another framework). Chalk it up to p ublishers not wanting to assume everyone reading the b [...]

Berry__: For normal people that is probably true but I add all sorts of clues which are different per-server, and still find myself regularly confused about which machine I’m logg ed in to …

Although I kinda like the colors for tabs, I think it’s over kill to have different colors on different servers. To be ho unest, I think the name of the machine you’re working on (on the left) is clear enough when working with it. The only thing I tend to dislike in screen, is that it’s rathe [...]
