This morning I received SVN authentication requests all over the place. Total panic! I suddenly feel the need to withdraw all my savings.

Ok, I’m exaggerating (just a bit), but it’s no fun if your release scripts are failing because your Zend Framework svn:externals suddenly requires authentication.

Apparently they changed that overnight (for us Europeans) as it worked yesterday. Let’s hope it’s a mistake and they don’t change their policy all of a sudden!

I just love svn:externals…

Edit: and we’re back on the road!

There are a lot of happy people because of the announcement that Microsoft and Nokia will use jQuery in their products.

Count me in!

A quick tip: use a CDN when you include jQuery in your project. e.g.:

http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js

As Google states “Once we host a release of a given library, we are committed to hosting that release indefinitely“.

It’s also a good time to thank Yoeri from Yappa who told me about jQuery almost 2 years ago.

Although I’ve only been at FrOSCon one day I was happy to attended some interesting talks. Especially the ones by Sebastian Bergmann about PECL, PHP 5 and future PHP versions.

The most important new feature for the next PHP version will probably be Traits: a possible solution for multiple inheritance (although some may argue that they provide the same functionality & problems). I do wonder if people will actually ever use it as much as they talk about it…

I now also know what Aspect-oriented programming is.

Thanks guys for the great conference!
