  Derick pointed me to these funny cards, yesterday. Really cool work, I think, and propably quite useful, if you go to a conference without knowing anybody. ;) Thanks to Cal for this great piece of artwork! [Read full post…]

• Apache vs. Lighttpd: "echo" performance (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  For a little private project, which makes extensive use of caching, I recently checked, where I could get gather some more performance from. Kore told me, that Lighttpd ships all of the pages of one of his projects in about 0.001 seconds, while mine still took 0.004 seconds on Apache. After some tracing I found the actual point of problem: The echo of the final output, which took most of the time. I tried to run the same project on Lighttpd and guess what: There were the 0.001 seconds. [Read full post…]

• eZ components on Ohloh (en)

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

  I tried a several times to get eZ components (and other eZ projects) into Ohloh. Ohloh claims to do "Mapping the open source world by collecting objective information on open source projects", which fits the website content quite well. If I got the basic project idea correctly, it should give managers an impression on the quality and usability of open source projects. Since managers usually want to have "hard facts", Ohloh tries to masure numbers it can extract from various public project data (e.g. from SVN). [Read full post…]

• Reading recommendation: PHP Design Patterns (en)

  by Tobias Schlitt on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 12:34:32 +0100

  Yesterday I received "PHP Design Patterns", the new book written by Stephan Schmidt, a well-known PHP community member and creator of cool library packages, like most of the PEAR XML section. I seized the time on the tram yesterday night to take a look at it and I have to admit I'm quite impressed. Stephan managed to write down a lot of practical experience in respect to the implementation of OO patterns with PHP. [Read full post…]

• PHP Weekender reaches 50 attendee mark (en)

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

  Today the PHP Weekender (our 2-day, 2-track, free-of-charge, PHP event in Dortmund) reached the 50 attendee mark (we only count attendees who verified their email address, yet, else we have almost 60 now). It is a great feeling for us to see how many people are interested. Since we are at the university, we have enough space left to get some more attendees in, but beware, space is already getting rare... So take your heels and sign up for a place at the PHP Weekender, because Dortmund is on PHP! :) [Read full post…]
