• SF roundup (en)

  On Monday I arrived back in Germany from the Zend/PHP Conference & Expo. Other people already posted detailed round ups 1 2 3 on this great event, so from my side only few words on the actual event: It was damn cool! :) The conference itself was a very well working mixture of business and geek talks, the sessions were chosen really good. As usual I met a whole lot of old friends (like Markus Börger, John Coggeshall, Christian Wenz and even Sterling Hughes) and made another lot of new ones. The location was really nice and the events they organized were real fun. So, all in all: My appreciation to Zend for this great event! [Read full post…]

  This morning I finally realized my plan, which I had in mind since I saw the announcement of it. I bought an iPod Nano. It's the first MP3 player I ever own and by now I'm really sure, it is worth it's price. After taking a reallife look at the Nano last week in San Francisco and digging into lots of testimonials and reviews last night I could not resist any longer. One quote from a review had burned into my mind, which sounded (not exactly) like "When I first saw the iPod Nano, I felt that this must be the ultimate iPod of the iPods...". [Read full post…]

  I recently received a package from Amazon and really wondered, because my last buy is a longer time ago and I did not miss anything from it... So wonder, I received the Star Trek Next Generation - Movie collection, including all 3 Star Trek movies that play in TNG. [Read full post…]

  I'm actually sitting on my flight from SF to Munich, somewehere between California and Canada (I guess) and about 10000m above sea level... and I have a wifi connection! ;) It's the service I always dreamt of: For $29.- you get wireless access to the net on a flatrate basis. Actually, the latency is horribly bad (700ms for a ping in average), but hey, I don't want to play an ego shooter here, but just read my mails, some news and maybe work a bit. Now they have only to fix the last major problem: My notebook works only about 2.5 hours with the single battery... an AC would be like pearadise... Or I have to buy a second battery from IBM...

• Zend/PHP conference and expo (en)

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

  Yesterday I arrived here in San Francisco, together with Gregor Streng from Mayflower, for the Zend/PHP conference and expo. The flight was a bit hard (12 hrs sitting is not what you really want to do) and the jetlag caught me yesterday afternoon during dinner, but overall I'm really happy to be here. :) I already saw parts of Frisco when driving to dinner and the Californian environment ist really nice (although the weather is quiet cloudy). As usual there are lots of wellknown people here and I expect to have lots of fun with all those collegues and friends form the community. Since I missed to by an AC adapter (I was sure to be able to rent one here) I'm currently out of power most time, but I hope to fix that soon, so that I can upload some photos and write some more on the conference.

• phpDocumentor for VIM 1.0.1 (en)

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

  I recently uploaded a new version of PDV (phpDocumentor for VIM), which allows you to comfortable generate documentation for your PHP classses, functions, methods and attributes. The new version fixes some issues with the usage of tabs in your code (since I only use spaces, I did not notice these), as well as some smaller bugs. Enjoy! :) [Read full post…]

  I know, there are tons of PHP IRC channels out there, but we still opened a new one (a few weeks ago), which first was a meeting place for our local (Dortmund) usergroup: #phpug on the EUIRC network. By now more and more people from other usergroups (mostly from Germany) and it starts getting a quite interessting place (ok, don't imaging something like #php.de on IRCNet, but we regularly have 10 to 15 people).
