Day in brief

  • Made it to the @phpconference with a somewhat horrible hangover. Waiting for the first session to start. Design patterns that is. #
  • About to waste an hour of my life with @calevans. #ipc #
  • Consequences – shmonsequences. #
  • I think this is probably the best WiFi I ever saw at a conference. Maybe because half of the people are still asleep. #
  • Apparently, I've been using Adapter pattern a lot. I just called it "a wrapper". #ipc09 #
  • Slides from @calevans talk on design patterns are here http://blog.calevans.com/talks/ #ipc09 #
  • RT @amanjain: Monitor international php conference tweets at
    http://www.tracklivetweets.com/ipc.html #ipc09 #ipc #
  • Go to http://boxlunchtraining.com and put your email in. @calevans #ipc09 #
  • Xdebug is awesome. It also does profiling and code coverage stuff. Pluggable into pretty much any IDE. Even has vim plugin. #ipc09 #
  • Is there any Xdebug book in existence? I can't seem to find one. And it looks like one is much needed. #ipc09 #
  • Xdebug Helper addon for Firefox – http://bit.ly/18wj8j #ipc09 #
  • "The popups weren't actually popups, but popunders" @derickr lol #ipc09 #
  • Slides for @derickr 's talk on Xdebug are here – http://derickrethans.nl/talks.php #
  • RT @amanjain: RT @spriebsch: My "Web Application Architecture" slides are online. http://bit.ly/3Whjjl #ipc #
  • Listening to @ralphschindler 's keynote. #
  • RT @r8r: php is the 3rd most used programming language now (@ralphschindler, tiobe programming community index for nov 2009) #ipc09 in reply to r8r #
  • CouchDB, Amazon SimpleDB, mongoDB … stuff to check out. I've looked into CouchDB a bit, but not enough though. #ipc09 #
  • Had excellent lunch at the conference and now back to talks. Continuous integration one for me. #ipc09 #
  • The room is packed. I am sitting on the steps at the back. #ipc09 #
  • Continuous integration talk is extremely slow. Needs more action / numbers / anything… #ipc09 #
  • Copy-paste detecting tools got mentioned. I found this one. http://pmd.sourceforge.net/cpd.html #ipc09 #
  • I don't think test-driven development is as practical as they say.Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. #ipc09 #
  • "Test driven development reduces the complexity of the code" – Agreed. #ipc09 #
  • CI solutions: CruiseControl, phpUnderControl, Hudson #
  • This is the first time I hear about Arbit. Need to try it out. #ipc09 #
  • Waiting for the XMPP talk to start. #ipc09 #
  • I got a Google Wave invite! Yay! :) #
  • Listening to Event-driven architectures talk. #ipc09 #
  • The first day of #ipc09 is over. Time well spent. #
  • Stepped into Spanish joint for some food. Looks nice. #
  • What is the root password for these intellibooks they gave us? #ipc09 #
  • OK, the root password is "intellibook". It's written on the paper which came with netbook. It's just all in German. #ipc09 #
  • "intellibook" is the password for "intellibook user.You need to "sudo su -" with intellibook's password and change the root passsword #ipc09 #
