I should be working on my operating systems assignment, but I really don't feel like it. So I'm sitting here, listening to Alanis Morissette (before that was Queen).

So I guess i'll summarize that last little while.

The PHP conference (Thursday-Friday) went well, I've put up the slides from my presentation on my webpage. Photos here. My talk on phpMyAdmin was packed :-). The mention of cross-database support was well recieved, as it's long been desired for phpMyAdmin.

The first evening, I went out for dinner with Rasmus Lerdorf, Sterling Hughes, Ilia Alshanetsky and Andrei Zmievski. Ate @ Steamworks, as it was close. The food wasn't wonderful, but the beer was good.

Went to the conference party after that, didn't drink too much. Sterling, for what seems to be a common occurance for him, got very drunk. "Hey! You're supposed to hit the cueball and not the 12-ball!". He would rival Mike Cox, but he stayed standing unlike Mike.

The prizes for the draw at the end of the conference were good, including a grand prize of a 15GB iPod. I wanted to win it, but alas, it was not to be :-(.

Sunday was Von's birthday party. Pictures here, including one of Amy!. Was interesting. Met one of the Eric's, who it turns out is Melanie Sia's (a TechBC girl) ex-bf. Strange to see how the groups of people have fractured since we left high school. I went my own way, the only one @ TechBC, and the majority of the others went to UBC, where they still split up some. The RPG people, and the girls.

Blah. I'm going to try to work on that OS assignment some more, after I grab some milk.

From #gentoo-dev:
[21:47] <jforman> trance: i was given the excat opposite treatment at my edu. i had a 1hr interview of naming acronyms (tcp, udp, imap, pop), port numbers, etc.then asked about certain problem solving situations (nic link light is out, dhcp vs static IP's, setting dns). and my edu help desk still didnt hire me. i called back and they said "you are more qualified than our call center and help desk manager, we cant hire you"
