Personal and website related stuff
==================================



- PHP @ FrOSCon 2009 CfP started

  Once again we, mostly the PHP Usergroup Dortmund, are organizing a PHP room
  at this years FrOSCon and want you to give a talk there...

- Back up your SVN repositories to Mosso CloudFile

  Distributed backup for "private" data. Just a quick bash hack away. Backing
  up your SVN repositories on Mosso CloudFile...

- Release PHPillow 0.3-alpha

  CouchDB 0.9-alpha with several new features and some API changes has just
  been released, so that we are pleased to announce a new release of PHPillow,
  too.  The most important change is PHP 5.2 compability, which comes together
  with some API changes...

- The document component

  Conversion between different document formats can be really hard. The
  document component can help you there, and already implements support for
  several markup languages...

- Talk about "Semantic web" at PHPUG Cologne

  I will give a talk about the "Semantic Web" at the PHP UserGroup Cologne on
  March 6th. Details are one click away...

- Seven things - Tagged by Derick

  I normally don't follow those chain letters - but I guess I have no choice
  here, since Derick "tagged" me :) - whatever this exactly means. Not knowing
  the term in this context seems common though.

- Fun with XML schema

  For university I currently have to analyse XML schema quite in depth and
  there are some interesting / funny things inside the specification I wasn't
  before. First: The default elementForm value: unqualified. Let me try to
  explain what this is and why it is kind of strange...

- CouchDB - A use case

  This article tries to give you an overview on how CouchDB can be used to map
  data to a data storage and how it is completely different from relational
  databases. I try to introduce the basic concepts and show an advanced use
  case.

- Shell bookmarks

  Developing in lots of different projects with different directory structures
  and navigating mostly on the shell sometimes makes it hard to keep track on
  where you currently are. A simple script for shell bookmarks made navigating
  much easier for me.

- Released PHPillow 0.2-alpha

  CouchDB 0.8.1-alpha has just been released, and so I am doing a second
  release of PHPillow. The test suite runs just fine against this version of
  CouchDb.  Thanks to the CouchDB team for its awesome work on this new and
  refreshing kind of database.
