It seems the slides that generated the most interested in my recent "Database meets OOP" talk were the ones on how to model inheritance inside your RDBMS. I wanted to mention two (and a half) additional approaches.

Well this is going to be a short blog post that will not really manage to summarize all the experience on my San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Austin, Tampa, Boston, Chicago, Zürich, Berlin, Güstrow, Berlin, Zürich round trip I was on for the last 4 weeks. But anyways, I wanted to mention that the slides from php|tek are now linked in the slides section.

So what do we in the PHP world do for QA'ing our applications? Just trying to get an overview of what people are doing to make sure I am still in the loop of whats happening.

I gave a talk on this a while ago and I thought I should revisit the topic once more. I still do not have a final solution, but some things have become more clear in my head. At least I feel that it would be a good idea to write my thoughts down in an attempt to see the level of clarity I have attained on this topic. With this disclaimer out of the lets dive into the topic.

I have been waiting for a phone worth buying since about a year. Initially I wanted an FSC Loox T830, but then I got all worried about Windows Mobile sucking on the phone end of things, so I switch to waiting for the Nokia N95. The phone promised to have it all: Symbian OS, large screen, wifi, bluetooth with A2DP, USB 2.0, GPS, 3D gfx, TV-out, microSD hotswap, 5 megapixel carl zeiss camera, small form factor.
