- Wow! That was fast! New Planet PHP logo arrived!

  Colin Viebrock, the designer of php.net made an amazing new logo for Planet
  PHP. His first draft corresponded nearly exactly to my own idea of a new,
  cool logo. 2 drafts later the new logo was finished. Extremely cool and
  extremely fast. Like the whole design, it's plain and really nice looking.

- Image_Text 0.5.0 (beta)

  I recently rolled release 0.5.0 (beta stadium) of Image_Text (your tool for
  comfortable handling of GD texts). This release does not add any new
  features, nor fixes any bug, since there did not occur any.

- Fight against spam

  Finally I managed to bring my server up to dat regarding spam and antivirus
  facilities.

- Link on php.net

  Recently Planet PHP got linked on php.net. Thanks to Gabor Hojtsy for that!

- Weapons of mass destruction

  Just enter these words into Google and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky". ;)

- PHP april fools...

  1st of April 2004 get's to it's end and I guess it's time, to summarize the
  recent April fools a bit. Not that I think anyone in the world believes in
  them, but some were quite funny:

- IBM takes over Zend

  As IBM and Zend announced in the early morning hours, both signed a buyout
  contract yesterday. Irving Wladawsky-Berger (IBM vicepresident of technology
  and strategy): "We are now taking the consequences of Sun's behavior to
  leave Java closed source. The power of open source has been proven by years
  now if Sun is to narrow-minded to see the importance of open source, we have
  to select another partner.".

- Planet PHP linked on PEARweb

  Planet PHP recently got a link on PEARweb.

- Zend PEAR weekly news in german

  I offered to Jan Lehnardt to support him in writing the PEAR Weekly News
  column on Zend. He didn't decline my offer and so, I will translate the news
  section weekly into german. Find the first issue translated here.

- OOO 1.1.1

  Yes, you read right. OpenOffice.org version 1.1.1 is out. With a huge bunch
  of bug fixes and some cool new features (e.g. "," instead of "." as the
  decimal char... whoever that needs! ;) ) I will definitly install that this
  evening.
