Back Home (for a while)
The PHP Conference in Frankfurt is over, and I got safely (and without problems ) home. The conference was, as in previous years, well attended and besides the normal sessions there were quite some other things going on.
On Monday evening Marcus hosted a talk on writing extensions for PHP, where Ilia , Johannes and I assited attendees by solving extensions related problems. There were little questions so instead I backported a fix to PHP 5.1 regarding class typehints and = null.
On Tuesday a few of the PHP developers (Marcus, Aaron, Ilia, me, and others) were the main attraction. In the PHP Lounge attendees got the chance to discuss whatever PHP topic they had on their mind with us coaches.
Now I'm home again, but only to sleep. Tomorrow morning I will be heading to Paris to meet some other PHP developers to discuss the Unicode support for PHP 6.
Life Line
I've finished reading Children of Memory, the third book in the series.
Another interesting take on forms of intelligent life.
A fourth one is going to get released later this year.

It's good to see that more and more people are realising that the Web can be for-good, without all the enshittification.
That's why I'm happy to see endeavours like phpc.tv springing up, and helping out where I can.
Taking back the control of how the Web is for people, by people, without big tech making it all shit.
