Just a small heads up that an article by me has been published on the Ibuildings Techportal. It's called "Refactoring your application" and dives into what is refactoring and how to do it.

Last year's TestFest was a huge success. The worldwide initiatives by usergroups and individuals gave a nice addition to the code coverage for PHP itself. This year, the TestFest period has been extended to 3 months, starting the beginning of this month and ending end of june. But a nice bunch of European usergroups including the Dutch usergroup are combining TestFest on may 9th!

Just a little notice that a blogpost was just published over at the Ibuildings Techportal. This is but the first thing you hear from me there, next week there will also be an article on refactoring published on the same site.

I usually only write about technology here, at least lately. In the past I actually did write about music here, though most of my music-related content was posted on Electronic Music World. But the 20th birthday of Warp Records is a good reason to share some thoughts on another topic than technology for once.

I use DreamHost for quite some sites, both my own and of friends. Recently I got informed that one of my sites was triggering a warning in anti-virus software and when I went to investigate, it turned out quite a few sites got hit by an annoying script that inserts a hidden iframe. Removing all those by hand would be an annoying job, so I decided to automate it. Given that I don't know much shell scripting but have a firm knowledge of PHP, I decided to give that a go.

As my previous post shows, PHP is active in the Netherlands, and our user group is acting on that. However there's more beyond our user group in this little country!

Last week we had a usergroup meeting in Amersfoort, and quite unexpectedly we announced that we'll have another one next week. This is slightly unusual, but you got to recognize opportunities as they arise.
