Its name is Avenida Insurgentes -- Insurgents Avenue, in honor of the rebel fighters who wrested independence from Spain in 1810. But it might as well be called the Insurgents Circus.

Time for a little nostalgia today in this new post from Philip Olson looking back at a brief history of the PHP acronym - where it came from and how it evolved to mean "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor".   While reminiscing what PHP was like back in the early early years, I stumbled upon a little historical nugget from the old website. Do you know what the acronym PHP stands for? Many of us do, or think we do. [...] But how was the definition chosen? For fun, here's a look back at the official vote that determined this new meaning way back in 1998. It might be worth mentioning that Rasmus, the father of PHP, did not vote for the eventual winner.   He also includes a few "notable quotes that could be taken out of context" from Rasmus Lerdorf concerning his opinions on the matter of the acronym's meaning as well as some other brief notes on the history of PHP and its name change.

Tycho: And so, our own pilgrimage comes to a close.  Thank you!  I think we all had fun.  I should stress that "we" refers to your cruel hosts, Gabriel and myself, who over the last eight years have tormented you thus with such dedication and enthusiasm.

MADRID (CNN) - Spaniards rarely seem at a loss for words - except when it comes to their national anthem. Though more than two centuries old, it has never had any lyrics.  But that could soon change. A three-month public competition to find lyrics for the anthem closes Friday, and a decision on the winning words could come by the end of the year. The idea for the competition came from the Spanish Olympic Committee, which wanted athletes and fans to have words to sing when the anthem is played at sports events. I get a very strange feeling when we have to sing 'la, la, la' - Alejandro Blanco "I get a very strange feeling when we have to sing 'la, la, la,'" said Alejandro Blanco, president of the committee.  Thousands of entries have been received since the competition opened in July, and a six-member panel representing music, history, literature, politics, and sports meets next week to start deciding the winning lyrics. The origins of the anthem are disputed, according to Michael Jamieson Bristow, a composer and music historian. Some claim it was composed by a German and given as a gift to King Carlos III in 1770, while others believe the tune was originally French and reset for military orchestras in the late 1700s. Gen. Francisco Franco declared it the official anthem in 1942. Various writers have written verses for it over the years, but none has ever been declared official.

Tycho: Sorry about that. Kiko digests the audio files for that, and I forgot that there President's Day was a holiday that people took seriously. Before today, I was not aware just how seriously Kiko took the concept of presidency. Also, I fixed an offensive and aggressively stupid typographical error in the post above. Now, it's only aggressively stupid in the ways I originally intended.(CW)TB
