PHP Women at PHP London

Monday, January 28. 2008

On Feburary 29th the PHP London 2008 conference will take place in London. Things have been very busy for the guys organising, there have been a few tweaks to the schedule but its looking like things are coming together nicely. I'm all set and have booked tickets and a hotel already - for Thursday *and* Friday nights so I can go both the pre-conference and post-conference socials, which is essential. If you haven't booked your tickets yet, or you have to get your employer to do it, I suggest that's something you might want to sort out fairly soon as I imagine it'll be oversubscribed - in fact if everyone who has told me they are thinking of going does try to book tickets, I think they'll sell out!!

At this event I will be busy with phpwomen, wearing my t-shirt and generally making a noise and raising the profile of the group. If you are attending the conference then you are morally obliged to pop over to us and say hello, we like to meet new people. If you are extra nice to us we may give you a t-shirt! There will be women from the UK and also elsewhere in Europe and it'll be great to meet those I haven't met yet and also see some old friends from other conferences. An excellent way to spend Leap Year Day in my opinion :)

My boss got us all booked. I’m really looking forward to it.
I will definitely pop over and say hi. Although I don’t know if you’ll get me wearing a phpwomen t-shirt :)

LinuxJedi: Pop over and say hi at least, it would be nice to meet you in person :)

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 [...]
