Yesterday was my 3rd day here in Montreal and the first pre-conference day of the PHP Conference Quebec, where the tutorials/workshops took place. I held my PEAR workshop before noon, and indeed, it went really well. People were highly interested in the project and our packages and the conversation situation was quite good. The slides and examples are available here or in a couple of minutes from the PEARWeb support section. [Read full post…]

Today was my second day in Quebec, more exactly in Montreal. After I woke up at about 7:00 a.m. (which is pretty late, if you take into account, that this is 2:00 p.m. at home) I started working on my slides again, because the weather seemed still not very good (better than yesterday, of course). When I finished that (around 11:00), the weather had changed drastically... It really was marvelous! I just wanted to go out to get some food and see some of the downtown, when Damien called me and told me that he needed a speakers room to store the conference equipment in and asked me if it would be ok, when I changed the room (to one having a safe). I agreed and switche... to a room on the 23rd floor... ;) You can see both differences (weather and room) below: [Read full post…]

Currently I'm standing in front of a very uncomfortable web-terminal at Frankfurt a.M. (Germany) airport, simply to blog that I'm on my way to PHP Quebec Conference.

I recently received the acception for my proposal for the PHP Conference Quebec 2005. I will give a double session (some kind of workshop) on PEAR and how to use it. I'm very sold to be part of that conference, since I've never been to Kanada before. :) [Read full post…]
As usual, the Linuxtag in Karlsruhe, Germany, will take place in June next year (22nd - 25th). This time, it's the anniversary 10th Linuxtag.

Yeah, I guess I was the one with the shortest way home, today. After bringing Lukas, Marcus, Hartmut and Aaron to the airport, it took me about 15 minutes to get home (because of some after-work traffic on the highway). ;) [Read full post…]
