Ever since starting with PHP 5 object oriented development, all documentation I read on the topic seemed to suggest that the only way to write the method keywords is "public static". I've been following along those lines, and for a while I really thought any other order would trigger errors. Only recently I found out the other way round is actually nicer.

Yesterday the Dutch PHP Usergroup organized an event called the "Frontend Special". This event focussed specifically on frontend technologies such as Silverlight, Flex and Javascript. The event kicked ass, if I may say so.

In about a month time, I will be speaking at the PHP Conference UK (formerly PHP London). I will do a brand new talk there on symfony.

This year's edition of the Dutch PHP Conference will be taking place on June 11-13, and the Call for Papers is now open. So all of you, I know you have something interesting to say, now it's time to let the DPC know!

Last year at SymfonyCamp I made some video recordings with a borrowed camera. About 1.5 or 2 months ago I received the DVD's with the raw material on them. The raw material, however, was in Sony's proprietary m2ts format, something at least Adobe Premiere can not open. After an evening of googling, the answer turned out to be closer than I thought.
