I want the new IPhone that is coming out June 19th.. Why? Because it is a huge improvement over my current first generation IPhone and has a lot of new features I can use.

Why didn't I upgrade to "IPhone 3G", because the only thing it really provided to anyone was a mild improvement in browsing speed.. 3G Battery lifetime is less then Edge so the trade off for me wasn't worth it.

The new IPhone is faster, better camera, video recording and much more.. The one feature that I wanted all along is finally natively available.. Voice dialing.

Another recent ruckus that has been going around is about a battle between "Ad Block" and "Noscript" both extension for Firefox that have different main intents but can both do one thing really well.

Block ads, and you know what I do understand this need. Some sites have over the top bandwidth hogging ads that are just stupid! Other sites are nothing but ads and paginate there content to some extreme to ensure you see as many ads as possible!

The people behind uTorrent have decide to make the application udp enabled for the reason of bypassing various throttling methods used by ISP's.

In a period where more and more ISP's are testing and looking into caps, usage charges and other means to limit people who "overuse" there connection they choose the low road and give companies more reason to act.

car 1 going 60, car 2 going 100, If someone pulls out in front of these drives car 2 has less time to respond and therefore is driving to fast and should get a ticket and be responsible for any accident.

What never seems to get brought up in these cases is car 3.. The car that pulled out in front of the other 2 in the first place and caused them to have to hit the brakes!

Why do cops sit on the side of the road with a speed detector when instead they should be focusing on the cause of accidents and traffic congestion, the "idiot drive".

As I mentioned in the prior post I am pretty much a "Jack of all Trades" when it comes to website development. I have done it all from the ground up, hardware, os, apache/mail/mysql, and finally php programming so when I decided to give consulting full time another shot (last time I got hired on full time and dropped the consulting) the name "PHPJack" seemed extremely fitting.

What do these 3, 3 letter words mean?

One big mess in the PHP community!!

The problem is the people against the CLA are thinking with emotion and not rational thought. The main argument? CLA's are worthless and hold no legal ground....

You know what I say to that? WHO CARES!!! If a stupid signed piece of paper gets the developers from major databases providing more direct assistance, support and debugging for PHP database drivers then it doesn't matter if the piece of paper is legal or not.

The following are from Wikipedia

"A framework is a basic conceptual structure used to solve a complex issue."

"A software framework is a re-usable design for a software system (or subsystem). A software framework may include support programs, code libraries, a scripting language, or other software to help develop and glue together the different components of a software project. Various parts of the framework may be exposed through an API."

After reading http://www.tonybibbs.com/ it maybe me think about some of the technologies I have dealt with and its been a lot. Being the only tech person at the company I am at for a while made me the defacto programmer/system admin/tech support/if it is electronic its my job go to guy!

This has lead to some pretty interesting projects with technologies I knew nothing about at the time. Pulling phone stats from our Altigen phone system, Putting together a calendar using data from our Timeforce time clock, Integrating our admin area with Microsoft SBS and LDAP.

Verizon just got beat down by the NY State Attorney General for advertising there wireless service as "unlimited" when in fact caps exists and people where terminated for heavy usage.

Thats great! I hate false advertising however if you browse forums like http://www.dslreports.com you will find the bottom of the barrel claiming caps in general are evil, or that use of there line to download illegal music 24/7 is ok no matter what the ISP terms of service says.

Ok so your at ZendCon and lets face it a majority of the people that go can either afford it because they have decent jobs or they have a cool job that pays for them to go.

Whats the point? It means that maybe ZendCon is not the best place in the world to try and hire unless you have something real to offer.
