PHP Québec 2005
It has already been a week since I got back from the PHP Québec conference. I am simply too busy to keep my blog updated.
The conference was - just like previous years - well organized and I think that attendees got a versatile program to chose from. Before the conference Marcus and I went on a two day skiing trip to Monte Sainte Anne. The skiing area is pretty large there with more than 50 pistes. We were at the end of the season which means that the pistes were quite empty too and the sun was shining well - which makes for excellent skiing although the snow was a bit slow due to the sun.
The way back from Montréal was long, and I had a one and a half hour delay when leaving because first the wrong luggage was loaded into the plane, second because the correctly loaded luggage made the plane off-balanced and third because we had a "medical emergency". We were about 40 minutes late in Amsterdam where I had to wait another 6 hours for my connecting flight to Torp/Sandefjord . I was pretty happy when I got home finally after 18 hours of travel.
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.
