A Special PHP/Windows-Themed Coffee and Code: This THURSDAY at the Dark Horse

This article also appears in Canadian Developer Connection.

Coffee cup

This week, I’m going to have my hands full on Friday with WordCamp Toronto, so I’m moving my Coffee and Code session from Friday to this Thursday, May 7th, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Dark Horse Cafe (215 Spadina).

This particular Coffee and Code has a theme: developing and deploying PHP applications on Windows. I’ll be talking about and answering questions about PHP on Windows, the Web Platform Installer (which I recently covered in this article) and the PHP FTW! contest, which pits student developers against professional developers for cash prizes.

Come on down and join me for a coffee! I’m going to see if I can bring some PHP-themed goodies to give away, just in case my scintillating company and Dark Horse’s great coffee aren’t enticements enough for you to drop by.

방구 (or: “Did You Fart?”)

Peter Griffin, with Brian taped to his face as a replacement moustache: "Moustache fart."

“Chiamattt” is the younger brother of my high school pal Kevin, and he recently discovered the golden rule of farting: location, location, location.

Kiss Off

If you’re a fan of the Violent Femmes (and if you remember rotary-dial phones), you’re going to recognize the reference in this piece of retro-themed art by so0meone going by the name “9 0 0 0”:
