I think Eurostar is taunting me with that error message id at the end there. Buying a train ticket is hard! #php pic.twitter.com/1myBd4IPKL
The California DMV doesn't like my car with 400k km on it anymore. Need a new one. Where is that 50% off a Tesla S coupon?
Sitting outside hacking and I see Air Force One overhead. It must have just landed at Moffett
PHP 5.4.16 and PHP 5.3.26 have been released - php.net/ChangeLog-5.php - PHP 5.5-RC3 is available as well at qa.php.net

Extremely sad to hear that @AtulChitnis passed away. FOSS pioneer and a personal friend for many years.
Ah, I had almost forgotten, it is the 31st of the month again. Time for everyone to once again read gnu.org/software/tar/m… #php
Still baffled by php.net strip-tags reqs eg. 710 reqs in 18s and 0 other reqs from this ip today: gist.github.com/anonymous/5672…
Fun evening with a big contingent of peeople from POA - I shall henceforth be known as Ambassador Rasmus pic.twitter.com/OEoWGSvkoh
If you didn't know, almost every country has multiple mirrors behind a round robin. So if you are in China, use cn.php.net (!!)
Sorry folks, maintenance work on php.net to try to fix these China issues - use a mirror for now. eg. us.php.net
A strip-tags DoS on php.net? Anyone have a clue why China is obsessed with strip_tags? See: gist.github.com/anonymous/5651…
php.net has been getting swamped with requests from China. We're working on off-loading that traffic - use your local mirrors
Etsy Hack Week was fun. Many useful hacks. My fav fun/creepy hack was the #purgatory irc channel full of Markov chain bots of ex-employees
I think the hacker on @NBCTheFirm was compiling #php in the name of "decrypting data" pic.twitter.com/GRGnoKwIqm

In Orem Utah for @openwestconf the snow-capped ring of mountains surprises me every time I go outside here. pic.twitter.com/AuI1LGmtVg
Probably just me, but named releases bug me. Etch, Oneiric, Lenny, Precise, Quantal, Squeeze, Raring, Wheezy. No idea which is newer
Cleaning up Etsy's hphp-based static analysis commit checks by pointing it at random github repos - github.com/rlerdorf?tab=a… #php
Short Array syntax support for HHVM - 4 minutes to write the patch. 2 hours to hack the build chain to test it :( github.com/facebook/hipho…
So everyone can instantly answer accurately if someone asks you how old you are? Maybe it is a mental block or I just suck a simple math.
Is it weird that I check Wikipedia to figure out how old I am?

Spooky - planning trip to Santa Barbara and checking weather at weather.com/weather/weeken… and down the page a bit "Family Fun in the Rain"
Amazing 10k sea wall run around Stanley Park in Vancouver #nikeplus: go.nike.com/7jook6h
Damn! I leave the country and the first thing I see on my colo box today is: "State : clean, degraded", "faulty spare /dev/sda2"
Working out of Vancouver for the next couple of days. Nice to be back in Canada.
We had indoor rain at the 1st HDL vimeo.com/214490 RT @ydn Y! Hack Europe: London is one month away! Apply now! yhoo.it/12TSw5O
Saw a "Person of Interest" ep where a geek billionaire talked about deploying an El Ay Em Pee stack. It's not an initialism, it's an acronym
Wow folks, I said "pear install doc . php . net / pman" - don't click on the damn thing. Not everything is a web link #php
These man pages have been around for years, by the way. This was just a reminder that they are there. #php
man pages: pear install doc.php.net/pman to do pman strpos and "set keywordprg=pman" + hit "K" on a func in vim #php
My poor "indestructible" Linux Thinkpad is falling apart. Hopefully I can stretch it until the Haswell-based Chromebook Pixel arrives
Please test the first PHP 5.5-beta release from qa.php.net and see raw.github.com/php/php-src/ph… for a summary of the changes #php
I have a quick bandaid for it here gist.github.com/anonymous/5217… but that is obviously not ideal @SaraMG #php #thrift
Hey @SaraMG since Thrift is a FB thing, could you point a FB grunt at github.com/apache/thrift/… - it is screaming for a rewrite.
My Thinkpad running Ubuntu started having all sorts of display issues in the past week - magic fix: unity-reset from ppa:amith/ubuntutools
It really was just a quick hack, but many people have asked for the source of the status page script, so go nuts: github.com/rlerdorf/opcac…
You can follow along at php.net/~rasmus/opcach… - a cache status page I whipped up. If you are bored, design a better one please #php
Sorry about any php.net downtime recently. Testing the opcache on it under load. Use your country mirror if you have problems
Google buying Talaria was not a surprise. The Talaria guys were doing some cool stuff with PHP
Naming-wise ZendOptimizerPlus is quite the mouthful. The merged version will just be known as opcache - op for OptimizerPlus or OPcode #php
You can start testing today with the new 5.5 cache by installing pecl.php.net/package/ZendOp… for PHP 5.2-5.4
Yes, that was the merge of Zend's Optimizer+ opcode cache into PHP 5.5 and master. Thanks @zend and especially @stogov for all the work #php
Finally, this was a long time in the making - git.php.net/?p=php-src.git… Thanks to all who helped out #php
hiring infrastructure engineers at @Etsy to work with me on Hadoop tools for our 160 node cluster, 15TB RAM, 1 petabyte storage, please RT!

Considering @hackerschool? Do it. I applied a little less than a year ago and it quite literally changed my life. bit.ly/HrYOMK

Nice interview @marthakelly - onforb.es/104EJE1 - and yes, I did notice your favourite languages answer :) #etsy
