I’ve been offline for a little while, I agree. I came back from one month of travel in France and Spain. That was just great, really. Now, I’m on a new project, new partner, new ideas, new budgets, new excitement. We will be focusing on Web 2.0, Voip and Mobile, isn’t that great? I’ll post more details in the coming weeks.
I thought posting the PHP5 Certificate for those who haven’t seen it yet. So far I know only 2 of my class who passed the certification, any others?

I’d give a 4/10 to Air Canada today. I was very pleased that the planed pushed back from the gate a few minutes earlier than supposed, which is unusual. We unfortunately went right back to the gate: the engine’s starter blew off. After 2 hours waiting in the plane, we finally pushed back and took off. The flight attendants were nice, but didn’t offer anything to accommodate us for those 2 hours of delay.
I arrived in San Francisco and everything went very well from there. Went to check-in my room at the W, worked a bit, went shopping and ended up in the lobby of the W to work/drink/eat.
The Web 2.0 Expo is not even started and I’ve already met the folks at Netvibes: Franck, product manager, François, Developer and Tariq, CEO. I had a very interesting conversation with them. I didn’t even know Netvibes was a French company! They will be announcing Netvibes Universe on Monday. I haven’t been able to learn much about it, but it will apparently generate new revenues for the company, I’m expecting it will generate revenues for the users as well. I’ll follow-up on that after their press release. This would probably help Netvibes continue its growth, which seemed to have slowed down a bit in the last months, looking at their Alexa ranking.
Tomorrow is the workshops day. I didn’t decide which sessions I will attend yet. What do you think?

Both Rico and I successfully passed the PHP5 Certification exam last week. Congratulations Rico. Over 66% of the DevTaxi crew is now a PHP5 Zend Certified Engineer! Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait quite a bit for Mario to pass the exam, I know he is very very busy with his web startup: www.foetus.ca. Busy is good Mario!

I used my friend Mario’s great post on how-to open a link in a new window to create a script that will open any external link in a new window without the need to add a CSS class to it. This is very useful when you want to change the behavior on a blog that already has a lot of posts. (more…)

I will be at the 2006 CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & Entertainment show in Los Angeles. I am particularly interested by the Day 3 Keynote: Social Networking & the Mobile Community.
Make sure to give me a call or shoot me an email if you want to chat with me over there, I’ll make it fit in my schedule.
Any restaurant recommendations?

I was searching for a nice loading/processing indicator while adding a few Ajax improvements into the CMS I developed and found this: AjaxLoad, a site to generate indicators with your foreground and background colors. Let’s see if the developer will add new and original indicators!
