• 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…]

  I finally added a button for being a "Zend Advisory Board Member" to my blog. I did not have the logo so far. [Read full post…]

• Qmail and PHPs mail() function (en)

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

  While working with the eZ Mail component, for sending some emails comfortably, I noticed some issue with my Qmail installation. With some email accounts that received the emails, the headers were broken and had double line break characters, so the complete email was broken. That (weirdly) happened only with some servers (e.g. Gmail), while my own server handeled the emails gracefully. [Read full post…]

• PHPUGDO proudly presents: The PHP Weekender (en)

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

  It's been a good month, since the PHP Usergroup Dortmund asked for feedback on the idea of a PHP introduction workshop in Dortmund. Because of the huge masses of interessted people, we expanded the idea and are now going to make a 2 day, 2 track PHP introduction weekend, including 2 workshops and a lot of interessting sessions about topics like "XML handling", "Enterprise PHP", "SOA" and "Shell scripting.

• Reading recommendation: "Exploring PHP" (en)

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

  Kore just returned from his Canada vacation and gave me a hand-signed copy of the book he co-authored, "Exploring PHP" - "Von Insidern lernen". Although I did not read it, yet, I'd like to recommend it to you, since I think to know the authors good enough to believe they write good books. The book is (beside others) written by my friends Markus Nix, Sandro Groganz, Kore Nordmann, Stephan Schmidt and Christian Wenz, all of them well-known experts from the PHP community.

• Comfortable PHP editing with VIM -5- (en)

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

  More than a half year after my last "Comfortable PHP editing with VIM" post, I take up this series again, although I decided to let it die in January. Sadly I did not find any time by now, to extend PDV (the PHP Documentor for VIM plugin) further than it's version 1.0.1, which is available through vim.org and on my SVN. Anyway, I collected a lot of (at least for me) helpful VIM tips, which I'd like to share here: [Read full post…]

  I forgot that Wolfgang and me moved the dates for the sessions, because Wolfgang is on vacation and wants to take part in the sessions. Sorry for that! So, here are the correct dates: [Read full post…]

• Aggregating and stealing content (en)

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

  Back from vacation I found an interessting article via Kore, which deals with the problem of content aggregation, based on German law. The main sense is basically: "Someone who provides forgein content on the net without asking for a permission violates copyright. This results in entitlement for omission and damages. If the aggregated content is additonally provided with ads, the provider possibly incurs a penalty." Hopefully I translated all the law terms correctly. To avoid misunderstandings, I quote the original words in German: [Read full post…]

• Tool of the year: BitlBee (en)

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

  Kore pointed me to a tool called BitlBee. Imagine that I am currently connected to 4 IRC networks and I am using Gaim for Jabber and ICQ. While Gaim is quite satisfying, it disturbs, that you have 2 communication clients online. Beside that, it disturbs me, that I have 1 tab per conversation open in gaim. On my server already runs a bouncer to allow me to keep me connected t my networks while I'm offline with my client. [Read full post…]
