Visit To PHP London
Friday, June 6. 2008
The talk was great. It was my first time there and the impression was quite good. I think I am coming up more times for this and other meetup events to meet uo with the geek community.
Just found this blog on the web and came back to lornaJane and say something: http://icecatseoul.blogspot.com/
Yesterday night confused ibuildings with ibuilders… hehe. nevermind.
Hmm, curious what cms you did use. Cannot find any CMS logo at the bottom of this page… I get curious very easy , I guess.
Am also wondering how many people are running your company ]i[Buildings…
The room was filled with a nice and positive energy. It seems everyone felt confortably to pose dozens of questions.
I did not yet get hands yet on the .pdf of the recommended Subversion manual. These .torrents bundles downloadings are still less than perfect. Googlebooks doesnt seem to be the answer because of copyright. Scribz neither.
Or is it me that doesn’t know the right tools and how to get .PDFs manuals easy and the fast way.
These portguese geeks found a way of streaming the main TV station online only in portuguese territory and under the Telepac/Sapo proprietary isp networks. Wondering if someone could find a hack to be able to have www.sic.pt online streaming tv channels being been able to be seen worldwide.
Acrobat.com is coming on the air. rock on
let’s hope our wallets not suffer…
Hey Daniel, glad you enjoyed the talk. The subversion book is the Red Bean Book, look at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ and I hope it helps! This site runs on serendipity http://s9y.org/ with various plugins added
Lorna: your observation is right, the anxiety only disappears once the talk is done, but, the more you do it, the shorter the period of anxiety before the talk (now I only start to worry during breakfast on the day itself :)).
Daniel, to answer your Ibuildings questions, we use our own WDE CMS which is based on the ATK framework. The company is about 60 people, and to answer your question about how many run it: the MT is about 5 people, one of which is me (so if you have any questions, drop me a mail at ivo at ibuildings dot com).
I also like the phplondon meetings very much, even though I’ve been to only 2 so far. But everytime I happen to be in london and there is a meeting, I’ll be there.
Ivo: well, I’m still pretty nervous so you can expect a fair amount of "Whose idea was this anyway??" between now and Saturday :) Still, I think I’ve done most of the right things in preparation which can only help even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.
I thought you came across well and the nerves seemed to disappear pretty much straight away.. after you mentioned you might be nervous :) IMHO, I would drop this initial bit about saying you might be nervous, everyone accepts that this happens and before you know it, you are halfway through the talk.
Consistently remembered to repeat the question so others could here what was being asked.. so that’s good. Firm answers when being questioned about something as well.
You will be fine. Hope you enjoy it. :)
Paul: Interesting advice, initially I felt quite strongly about pointing out that I’m a frightened geek although I might not look like one! But maybe I should just get up there and get on with it …
Oh no, I’ve missed it :( Deployment is always a great topic to discuss and there’s always something new to learn. Do you know who organized this last meeting? Was it the guys at IPC media?
Belatedly popping by to say glad to hear it went well and hope the Dutch conference is even better.
Take care,
S
