Especially for me. Beside XHTML RSS is the one I use most. Until about 10 minutes ago I used Liferea for RSS reading, which is indeed a cool and clean tool. But what gives you a good tool, if you forget to use it? What I wanted was to have my RSS feeds integrated to my email client and I found what I wanted: - PEAR/PECL weekly news on Zend Jan Lehnardt publishes a new series of PEAR and PECL news weekly on Zend from now on. The news give a compressed view on what is discussed and established on the community mailinglists. - That's no more fun... ... my search keyword stats shows up "samba girls" again this month. Is it real, that everything that matters on the web is sex?? - Stupid script kiddies... LOL. Those damn script kiddes try it again and again... Maybe they someone get the point that is does not work... - M$ Office versus OpenOffice.org Heise wrote: "Microsoft vergleicht MS Office mit OpenOffice", which is translated "Microsoft compares MS Office to OpenOffice". - Techno... I fully agree with the picture Peter Prochaska posted... Techno seriously demages health. - Back from CeBIT... Yesterday I have been to the CeBIT, without any long planning before. But indeed I was a bit disappointed this year. Ok, the CeBIT has not been the techy thing it was in former times, but there were some interessting things to see. This time I saw/heard nothing I did not now before. :( Maybe it were some unlucky circumstances. It was "students day" - nothing against students, really! - but most of them did not know a bit of IT and just wanted to see "consumer electronics". The boothes of all well knowen hardware companies (Intel, AMD,...) had only raffles and no IT and most other booth owners were so unmotivated because they expected just "students"... Maybe it was because of the last CeBIT day over all... - PEAR Meeting Part II (Amsterdam 2004) Recently the idea came up on pear-dev to shedule a PEAR meeting in Amsterdam this year (as there was one last year). Jeroen Houben offered to sponsor the location again. The meeting is planned to take place in Jeroens office, where a high bandwidth internet connection is available so we maybe can offer a lifestream to people who can not attend the meeting. All those poor guys will definitly have the possibillity to attend the meeting through IRC (as it was last year). - studlyCaps or under_scores in PHP5's OO interface? The big question for PHP5 currently is the discussion around the new dual-syntax system, which allows extensions to be used with a procedural and an object oriented interface. The problem is, that PHP usually uses "_" to devide parts of a function name, where most OO languages (e.g. Java, C#,...) use studlyCaps to divide method name parts. And this is the common way in OO programming with PHP, too (as we from PEAR defined once upon a time...).
