PHP Québec ‘07

Wednesday
Mar 21,2007

This year was my first time at the PHP Québec conference, and I was really impressed with the location and organization. As usual though, the wireless was a huge let down. It’s always such a challenge to get a couple hundred PHP nerds online at a hotel and I just don’t know why. The organizers presented speakers with a summary of feedback from listeners at each talk, very cool.

My favorite talks that I saw where Andrei’s VIM talk which actually gave me some more useful tips than the talk I saw at google. I also thought that John’s Top Pecl Pics was a good.

The flight back wasn’t so great, seeing as a lot of east coast flights where being canceled. I ended up trying to get out of flying out via Washington DC, but apparently that’s a difficult thing to change because Air Canada doesn’t like to talk to United, and United doesn’t pick up the god damned phone. So after standing in a very long line in DC, I spent the night and got on a flight to San Diego the next morning. Had a 1 hour delay in San Diego, and someone decided they should have a medical emergency mid flight, which actually let us land 7 minutes early, good to remember in the future. I had to come back 5 hours later to get my bags, as they apparently didn’t land before me as promised. It’s nice to be back in nice, medium temperature cali. I missed my Japanese test on Saturday by about 4 hours, so I’ll be taking it tonight and I’m not sure it’s going to go too well. On the good side I wasn’t stuck in Montreal with the Flu like my cohort, Lucas.

Next destination, PHP Tek in Chicago…
