OSCON CfP
29 January 2009

The OSCON Call for Participation is open for another couple of days and I've finally got over my nerves and submitted some talks to them. I haven't been to this conference before, and couldn't afford to send myself - but I took a look at last year's schedule and knew I …

Peru: Machu Picchu
22 January 2009

In my blogging excitement, I somehow managed to write about the rainforest, areas around Cusco and Ollantaytambo and then go straight on to describe our train ride to Puno. In a rather major omission I seem to have missed out a post about visiting Machu Picchu. Since its one of …

Peru: Andean Explorer
21 January 2009

I've already written about my time in Peru - in the rainforest and in and around Cusco. From Cusco we travelled to the city of Puno - by amazing train journey on the Andean Explorer. This trip is more expensive than flying I think but it was a fun experience in itself …

I'm on holiday in Peru at the moment, and writing about the various places I've been - first stop was the rainforest and from there we went back to Puerto Maldonado and flew to Cusco. At 3300ish metres above sea level, this was my first experience of anything like this altitude …

Peru: Tambopata
19 January 2009

I'm currently on holiday in Peru, including ten days organised touring in different parts of the country. I got back and discovered I had almost 900 photos which will take some time to process, so I thought I'd write a series of posts, rather than one monster one. The first …

Ubuntu Launching Apps
15 January 2009

Since I started using Linux on the desktop, I've always used katapult to launch applications. However I have another machine that doesn't have katapult and (since I don't use a mouse) I've always used Alt+F2 to launch appilcations on there. Well, since installing Kubuntu Hardy Heron I notice it …

Granny's Christmas Blanket
12 January 2009

It was a long time coming but I finally finished the blanket I was making for my granny - and in time for Christmas as well (well, almost. The border didn't get finished until Christmas Day but I didn't see my folks til Boxing Day anyway!). She was suitably surprised and …

Speaking at php|tek
08 January 2009

I'm delighted (and somewhat stunned) to announce that I'll be speaking at php|tek in Chicago this May - you might also like to see the full timetable. This is one of the big events of the year and I was so desperate to attend that I gave the organisers a …

Published in php|architect
06 January 2009

I'm very excited to be able to say that I was published in php|architect, in December's issue. I had the /etc column, where I wrote a bit about phpwomen.org and what we're up to these days. As I've wanted to write for them for ages, I was very …

7 Things
04 January 2009

It doesn't seem like that long since the last time this happened, but apparently its been two years and the "tell us something new about yourself" meme has come around again. I was trying to ignore it but now I've been tagged by Matthew, Davey and Kathy I guess I …
