Been a while since I blogged but here I go, I’m now one of the people that handles the blog accept/reject on Planet-PHP and as is Pierre in addition to Toby and Christian S. (if there are more people then excuse me for my ignorance)
One exciting thing has already happened to Planet-PHP since I joined, Christian Stocker added a new way to submit your blog to Planet-PHP instead of the old and somewhat crude way of sending email (they often get lost, forgotten, etc.), behold the new way of life: http://planet-php.org/submit/ a very simple form where you provide essential information so that we can decide if you shall prevail and be amongst the star or fall hard on your head ;-)
We have already gotten 2 submissions via the new form so people seem to be picking up on it but if you’ve emailed us before and haven’t been added then please submit via the new form and you’ll be added for sure (well if your blog is PHP related, just read the FAQ on the site if you are in doubt :P) and also if you know of any good ones then I’d say that you should also submit those since we’re always interested in getting in good material.
So well, submit away! :-) And kudos to Christian to making this even easier for everyone.

Update: Apperently some people lost their sense of humor along the way, so to make it clear, this was meant to be more of a joke post than serious! :-) Just like the bloody last sentence says (in a way).
Who hasn’t gotten a utterly stupid feature request before ? Or even a request that you constantly say no to. This is just bound to happen if you help maintain a open source project (probably even more so in a commerical entity)
Well I have found the perfect answer to such requests with the courtesy of the yum wiki
No. Just no. If you don’t like it, go have a conversation with yourself about it. Alone. At home. In your closet.
I’ve even been pondering about adding this as an answering option in pear/pecl/php bug system, I can just see Jani doing the happy dance if this kind of thing would ever be added. ;-)
A slightly modified version of this quote could even be used on reports like this one: http://bugs.php.net/35625
All jokes aside, I had a good laugh when I read this quote and the bug report :-)

As many have noticed 5.1.0 had some issue when it was released, like for starters it introduced a empty date class by default which effectively killed scripts that used PEAR::Date (I admit, it’s rather silly to give a pear package such generic name) or any other scripts that uses a class called Date, which I imagine are quite a lot since it’s seems rather convenient to pick the shortest name possible and many people look passed the fact that they need to prefix their classes.

So my s9y blog got defected, by a person called FD, who ever that is … Luckly that person(s) didn’t touch my database so I thank him/her/them for that, but on that note, why can’t people just use emails when this kind of things happen?! Why do they always have to show of what they did and replace some stuff ?!?!

So, I’ve joined yet another open source project … And I have enough of them on my back as is ;-) The project is the CMS/Framework Jaws and can be found at http://www.jaws-project.com/
Why did I join yet another OS project and why did I pick that one ? I’ve been hearing good things about Jaws and how simple it is and I really needed to find a very idot proof CMS to run a site for the company that pays me my salaray (which is not the company I work for, complicated but so it goes ;)) and that company mainly has building construction workers, I don’t doubt the guy that will be maintaining the site, he’s very eager to learn new things but I just don’t have time to teach him and since Jaws explains it self very well I think he’ll manage just fine …

Before reading this, do note that nothing has been agreed in regards to those actions described below are only my thoughts on this matter :-) Have fun reading!
NOTE All comments were lost due to a move from s9y to dotClear back in 2005, just look at the pear-dev archives from 2005 :P
Until now the PEAR project hasn’t required developers to use a SVC for their code (CVS, SVN and etc.) which has led to couple of problems and short comings for us, for example, maintainers just disappear and we are left only with the code in a .tgz form, possibly a very outdated version … HDD crashes (at the developers computer) and the most recent code that hasn’t been released is just *poof* gone … We have a difficult time monitoring the development that could led to spotting problems sooner and also we have a harder time running automate QA tasks.
This issue was discussed a bit on pear-dev and everyone seemed to agree that requiring people to use SVC isn’t too much to ask.

So finally “finished” the layout of this blog and actually _wrote_ a blog post so now you guys can “enjoy” this blog ;) Jibby!
As some of you might know, I’ve been splitting Validate into smaller packages, so called subpackages, now why am I doing it you might be asking ? Well simply put, why should you need to download the whole freaking thing with US validation stuff and more when you only email validation ? :-)
We’ll try to release these great changes (hey we also have bugfixes and a lot of BC breaks! ;)) as soon as we can, but at the moment we’re kinda stuck because of time issues, Pierre is working at PHP 5.1 stuff and I\’m busy with other things like the “rewrite” of the PEAR Tree package, some LiveUser work and a lot of other stuff not needed to be mentioned here, plus we both have a real life … For real, I’m not lying O:-)
