Pointers – I vaguely remember my CSc friends saying that Pointers in C were a pain, today I finally got to reading about them (really) am still wondering why, I presume ignorance on my part and expect one of the pointers to stab me in the back when I am not looking… But once again the architecture of PHP and Zend makes life easier
Been reading the source of the PHP’s EXIF extension. Could comprehend about 30% of the unfamiliar parts.
Yippeee!! Today I compiled and ran my first (and totally useless) PHP extension, It is a stand alone .so file which implements a function called spit(), It just spits back whatever string you pass to it as a parameter. It took me all of 20 min to do it… Now I am kicking myself for not starting at it 2 years ago. It took Rasmus to convince me sheeesh
Well better late than never, now wishing that I have just bit of time free to pursue this as well.
Hmmm… Lets see apart form commercial work what am I doing? Reading, photography, UT2003 with Aasim, enhancing Coppermine, must find some more time
Click here to see the 230 pictures which I took at the LB/2003 Some pictures there have a counter part in other peoples camera like this and this in Jeremy’s album here and here 🙂
There may be more of such out there – if any of you have got them please post URL
BTW I used the following to convert 211MB to 19MB in one fell swoop before I uploaded
jhead -cmd “mogrify -quality 85 -resize 800 -format jpg &i” *.jpg
I am sure everyone has read all about LB/2003 and how wonderful it was here, here, here, here, here and here so nothing more to write about it except my own personal teeny weeny ego trips and treasured moments which I gleaned form the conference.
The most elating moment was when just before the first PHP talk by Rasmus
Talking to Rasmus over dinner at Atul’s place about writing extensions to PHP was most encouraging and enlightening, considering that I don’t know C or C++ hopefully I will have my name in credits of one of the PHP extensions soon.
Then there was this extremely hilarious incident about unzipped pants (not mine 😉
The trip would have been perfect had Aasim not suffered that food poisoning which kept him down for nearly all days… BUT then he took that very bravely as well…
So whatever some of the critics might say the event was a great success for me
Yes there are pictures about 440MB worth of them, will take some time before they are resized and put up…
