Barcelona. A city I've wanted to visit for ages, yet for some reason never did. And now I get the opportunity, this week I will be speaking at this year's edition of the PHPBarcelona conference.

Recently, I was involved in trying to solve a blocking issue at work. It took us quite some time to figure out was what going on, and it ended up being one of those cases of "If it ain't broken, don't fix it". So, even though everybody knows about this line, I want to give it some extra attention.

As I'm writing this (though it is published later), I'm sitting in the sunday morning program of the PHPNW09 conference in Manchester. The conference started on friday night with speakers dinner and a social, with the main conference on saturday, dinner and drinks afterwards, and now the slightly less official sunday morning program. It has been a great conference.

Last tuesday was the phpBenelux meeting for this month, which took place in Tilburg at the office of Freshheads. Given I was helping with the organization *and* speaking, I was a bit stressed upfront. Things worked out well though, and we had a great meeting. This post contains a short report of the meeting as well as my slides for the "Integrating symfony and Zend Framework" talk I did.
