• WTF: What argument to prohibit GPL?? (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  That's really something that makes me more than angry. If someone really has a problem with open source (maybe he wants to sell his software and feels threatened by high quality open source products), I accept that he tries to prohibit that. But WTF is that for an argument, that the GPL violates the "Clayton Antitrust Act" (US law) in dictating fixed prices for software? [Read full post…]

• Slides up: What's new in PEAR (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:00:29 +0100

  This morning (at the horrible time of 8:00 a.m.) I talked about "What's new in PEAR" at the International PHP Conference Spring Edition in Amsterdam. While preparing for the talk yesterday, I more or less completly switched the topic from "PEAR and PHP5" to "News from PEAR" and the greatest amount of slides contained stuff that's new in PEAR but not necessarily related to PHP5 (although I still had some PHP5 stuff in there). The topics I covered were: [Read full post…]

• PHPUGDO - Different presentations (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  Yesterday evening was the second meeting I attended of the PHP user group Dortmund. Sadly we've only been 5 people, although there are currently 12 members on the mailinglist. Since we wanna start some kind of useful project with the group members (what project this will be is not ready for the public, yet) and have a huge variaty of states of knowledge in the group, we decided to have an educational session in our next meeting. All of the 5 attendants from yesterday took a topic to prepare a little presentation (30-45 minutes) for the next meeting (in 2 weeks, 5th of May). [Read full post…]

  I recently received my results from the Zend Certification Exam and (luckily) I passed it. So, from now on, I can call myself a "Zend Certified Engineer". Nice. :) [Read full post…]

• I love WiFi! (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:29:46 +0100

  I really love it: I'm currently sitting around in a car repair shop and have to wait for about 2 hours for my car to be repaired. Dead time you think? Not really, since a T-Online-Hostspot is available. :) I wish there would be WiFi all around the world... And maybe even a bit cheaper! ;) [Read full post…]

  Take this as compassion to Davey and his friends and as a first try getting links together for his blog entry to get a better page rank. [Read full post…]

• PHP Conference Quebec ending (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:00:29 +0100

  Yesterday was the last day of the PHP Conference Quebec 2005. Luckily, I will stay until sunday and therefore I had the chance to take part in some exciting events organized by the PHP Quebec people. The main conference was pretty much as every other one. It mainly consisted of hacking some stuff, talking to all those speakers and attendants and of course of holding my second session. So, business as usual, of course. [Read full post…]
