I had a excellent first #EMFCamp. Fantastic programme of talks on the main stages along with an incredible set of community art installations and activities of all types. Also lasers and a gigantic ZX Spectrum!

Laser lights illuminating the sky, and trees lit up in various colours at nighttime at the EMFCamp festival with tents.

Finally created the #curl script I should have created at the start!

Lazy me has been finally been bitten enough times using A.N.Other HTTP client, that I’ve now done it properly in bash using curl.

Top tip: -b "cookies.txt" -c "cookies.txt" is super helpful for holding the session between calls. Shout out to @lornajane for this as I always have to look this up on her site!

There are some cool escape rooms in English in Verona. I'm tempted to try and find a group to go with today or Saturday. Anyone interested? #phpday

@phpday travel-curse is hitting hard. DB managed to get 40 minutes delay between Frankfurt Main Station and Frankfurt Airport.

For the non-locals: Frankfurt Airport is not even on the route from Frankfurt to Verona....

😂

Luckily I have plenty of time planned in. Looks like that was a good idea...

If you read a review for a book, usually people point out what they liked and what they disliked.

How come when you read a review for code, usually, it’s only the dislikes or if “lucky” a general comment about lack of dislikes? 🤔

What’s up with 19.2 fl oz beer cans? I mean, I like the size, but it’s not an even amount of anything. It equates to 567.81 ml.

Yes, I know American units are wonky, but sometimes they’re weird because they actually equal to an even metric number. For example, they sell 16.9 fl oz water bottles because that’s a half liter.

So, what gives on the 19.2 fl oz / 567.81 ml measurement for these tall cans?

I've just cut a release of SlimPHP's Twig-View component to allow for either psr/http-message 1.1 or 2.0.

This minor change that makes Twig-View easier to use with other package that use php/http-message and need the later version. #slimphp #php

Had a conversation at work recently about history-search on the command line and thought that I really should blog about it.

Turns out that I already have in 2014!

Why yes, I did get Chat GPT to write a bash script for me.

Needed checking and verifying as it kept “forgetting” that I have a BSD-flavoured *nix but was quicker than writing from scratch.

Next time I’ll use Copilot to see if that’s better at it.

For some projects we've needed to control the licenses used for our dependencies. Fortunately Composer has a command the help with this.

I recently discovered all my pipx installed apps stopped working. Looking into it, I learned that pipx reinstall-all exists which is incredible helpful on Mac with Homebrew Python at least.
