- Belated: "Merry X-Mas!"

  I hope all of you geeks out there had a contemplative and cheerful X-Mas!
  Because my parents net connection os borked I did not have the chance to get
  online over the christmas days and sadly will not be online much time in the
  next days. Because of this, I wish all of you nice hop into 2005! Cheers! :)

- Enhancing firefox... -2-

  Seems like I currently have an affection for continuations. After the sequel
  to my entry "Comfortable PHP editing with VIM" now a sequel for a much older
  entry follows.

- Call for papers: Linuxtag 2005

  As usual, the Linuxtag in Karlsruhe, Germany, will take place in June next
  year (22nd - 25th). This time, it's the anniversary 10th Linuxtag. Since
  yesterday Linuxtag expects talk proposals from open source developers on
  topics around the free operating system and other open source projects.
  Until now the call-for-papers website is German ony, which will change in
  the near future, I guess.

- Call for protest: Against software patents

  That's the original text of the announcement of Linus, Michael and Rasmus,
  which I pratly stole to quickly setup a protest webpage for the following 2
  days. All entries for my website (main, blog & gallery) now show that page
  by default. If anyone likes to, please just download it and upload it to
  your website. It should more or less work with any PHP driven site (using
  index.php as the index page).

- PEAR::Services_Delicious

  Today Stephan Schmidt threw the first public release of his new PEAR package
  Services_Delicious, which allows to communicate with del.isio.us through PHP
  pretty easily. His announcement shows a pretty little example. Since I'm
  currently on a del.icio.us trip (I recently migrated all of my bookmarks
  there), I like that thing pretty much, also I did not come to try it out,
  yet.

- Comfortable PHP editing with VIM -2-

  I updated my .vimrc regarding the comments posted for my first entry about
  "Comfortable PHP editing with VIM". You can see and download it here.

- Happy birthday PEAR! PEAR is turning 5.

  If one takes Malin Bakken's (to whome PEAR is dedicated) birthday as the
  beginning of PEAR, today is Malin's and PEAR's 5th birthday. The first bit
  of code for PEAR was commited 1 day later, so this is a reasonable
  approximation in my eyes for the birth of PEAR.

- More photos from the PHP Conference

  I added some more photos from the PHP Conference in Frankfurt to my gallery.
  Thanks to Nico Edtinger.

- Regex guru needed

  I recently wanted to extract all function/method prototypes from a PHP
  files, using PCRE. The extraction itself is not a real problem, but for
  further processing I need every single parameter of each function as a
  seperate element. Surely it would be no problem, when using 2 regex (a.
  extract the function prototype, b. extract the parameters), but this would
  (IMHO) be much more resource intensive than doing all at once.
