A day of code... Feb. 23rd, 2007 09:01 pm
which still, somehow leaves me feeling like it's a Saturday evening rather than a Friday one, so I think I won in there somehow. On the downside, I've had three cups of coffee today, so am uncertain how well I'm going to sleep later (although I'm yawning fairly enthusiastically right now).

Today was the php-uk conference )
Having got the shopping done tonight tomorrow looks faily clear. Sunday, I'm going out with the London Photo Meetup Group again.

A few things Feb. 10th, 2006 10:24 pm
Firstly, this needs propogating.

I spent today at the PHP Conference UK at LSBU; something of a "first run" for UK PHP conferences; organised by the local advocacy group and a bit rough around the edges but a very good start with some interesting speakers (much more detail on that tomorrow on http://www.phase.org/)

Looking forward to a genuine 2-day weekend now.

Yesterday: Linux Expo and PHP Oct. 7th, 2005 10:36 am
Yesterday was spent (after an hour in the office sending out a mailshot) at Linux World Expo at Olympia2. This venue always seems like something of a poor relation to the larger hall, but serves the purpose... In any case there was a fairly good range of stalls there, and I spent the day to 4:30 fairly profitably talking to exhibitors, including picking up some useful info on LPI and MySQL certs. Oh, and I picked up a debian t-shirt and a new mug. Bumped into [info]djm4, plus a few people I know from Cambridge, PHP-London, CfT or Bytemark.

After this I headed towards Oxford Street via the Apple store to recharge my powerbook and sync the latest version of phasecode onto the laptop - then over to the Fitzroy Tavern (where the Tav meet was also going on) to see if I could get into the (possibly over-full) PHP-London meet - busy this time as a certain Rasmus Lerdorf was giving a talk. Had to resort to an Emergency Sandwich for dinner, but this allowed me to catch most of the first demo and all of Rasmus' talk - which was extremely informative (and pointed out a few XSS vulnerabilities I'd missed in my sites, as well as some other very useful tricks). Rasmus himself struck me as an extremely friendly & likeable bloke, whose views on coding are refreshingly similar to my own.

I finally got home around midnight, completely wiped out and with very sore feet...

PHP-London Apr. 8th, 2005 10:39 am
Went to the PHP-London last night at a rather good new venue (the Winchester Club, Great Titchfield Street W1). Now we've got the facilities, we've got far better facilites for demos and discussions, so I suspect things will ramp up quite well.


Took some piccies with my new camera, with which I'm very impressed (up at http://wechsler.fotopic.net/). Those pics may be very slightly blurred in some cases, but considering that the vast majority of images in both sets there were taken with no flash, I think it's done pretty well. Plus of course the fact that it's smaller than my phone and displays the H2G2 movie logo and "Don't Panic" when I turn it on ;)
