In a follow-up to a previous blog post, Alexey Zakhlestin shares a few more thoughts on the project and the proper object hierarchy's going for.   actually, I changed it completely 3 times already in my thoughts. I finally "see the light"(tm) and will implement it on a weekend. I think about converting SCGI-part to a simple "driver" and move all http-related stuff to a separate driver-agnostic set of classes. This way, I would be able to implement FastCGI as anther driver without altering applications. If you have any better ideas - let me know.   He also includes a link to another sample application that uses the functionality to create a pie chart (including some benchmarks) with the help of the eZ components framework.

The Zend Developer Zone has posted both the Zend Weekly Summaries issues #323 and #324.   In #323, there's talk of OpenSSL integration, a CVS server change, and several PHP security discussions (a suggested read).   Issue #324 talks about runtime JIT proposals, debugging overloaded objects, more on PHP security, the release of PHP 5.2.1 RC3, and more "fine grained" control over allow_url_*   Be sure to keep up with the latest mailing list and community happenings through these great updates from Steph Fox.

In my last blog post, I mentioned the work on rubinius (then at a 0.7 release and now at 0.8) and JRuby.  I also promised I&#8217;d follow up on them.  Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s been going on so far.

In a new note today, Matthew O'Phinney shares some of his experience as being asked to head up the MVC team for the Zend Framework, including some of the changes that have been made.   The experience has been incredibly rewarding, however, and I've had the chance to pick the brains of and work with some top-notch developers in the process. In the next week or so, we'll be releasing version 0.6.0 of the framework, and it will include much of my work in the MVC components as part of the core distribution.   Some of the changes he lists include:  changes that promote greater flexibility and testing controller classes are now unit tested the introduction of the request and response objects a router is no longer needed the ability to push parameters into the front controller  He also gets into a bit of detail on the Response object - what it is, how it works, and how you can set up your own custom versions of it. Check out the full post for more information.

He had some Wheaties this morning for sure. My advice... 1. Remember to have fun. 2. We're all bozos on this bus. 3. We're all barking farting chihuahuas. 4. I make shitty software and so do you. 5. It's even worse than it appears. 6. You never learn anything hanging with the same people. 7. Thank heaven for little girls. (A repeat of #6.) 8. It's later than you think. 9. It's not like anyone gets out of this alive.

John Mertic has a quick note on his blog about the latest release candidate for the Windows PHP installer (PHP5.2.0RC3) and some issues they've been having.    Rebuilt the installer for 5.2.0RC3. Edin was having problems building it so I'm going to do it and upload it; hopefully we can resolve the issue.   It's also noted that if you see issues with using the installer, try removing the previous PHP installation before running it again.

In a new post today, Mike Naberezny talks about some updates that have been made to the XML-RPC client included with the Zend Framework, spotlighting three items in particular.   A few weeks ago, I rewrote the Zend XML-RPC client as part of a customer project at Maintainable. After fixing a fair number of bugs and writing a test suite, I made some enhancements and usability improvements. You can learn more about the new XML-RPC client from its documentation.    The three new updates to the package deal with:  Calling remote methods (a new call() method) Server proxy objects have been added Faults are thrown as PHP exceptions  Get more details on this package from its page on the Zend Framework's website.

Dutchman Christian Albers is to test for Jordan at Jerez on December 1. The 25-year-old was due to run for the team in September but had to postpone the test in order to concentrate on the German touring car championship.

Gabe: I had planned on making a couple posts last week but I ended up getting some kind of devil virus. It was the sort of sick where you don't really sleep. You just curl up in the bathroom and hallucinate that wolves are encircling you. I'm feeling better now though.I had wanted to talk about some stuff but I forgot almost all of it during my spirit quest. Let me see if I can remember anything. Sorry if this is sort of scattershot.I did go to the Pokemon Tournament and I ended up taking fourth. It was my first tourney and I was using a pretty crazy deck I'd built just a few days prior. Kiko also went and he took fifth even though we had the same win loss record during the day. They used some special Pokemon math to push me in to the final four and give him fifth. I pretty proud of both of us. It was a new level of competition that we'd never seen before and I think we played really well.If you're a fan of Transformers I highly recommend the new animated series on Cartoon Network. Some people might be turned off by the look but I think it's incredible. It's got a very Teen Titans look which makes sense seeing as it's by the same people. Even in vehicle mode these transformers are expressive and full of character. I read Amulet over the weekend (don't believe the date on his site, it is already in stores) and if you are a fan of comics I suggest you do the same. I don't want to say too much about it. I think that Kazu is one of the most talented individuals working in comics today. With Amulet he has created something timeless. I've collected all your Dickerdoodle pictures and there's some pretty great stuff in there. Give me some time to sort through them and I'll start posting my favorites soon. I'll get Tycho to help me pick a winner and we'll find something cool here in the office as a prize.-Gabe out

It was a windy and rainy day at Jerez. It rained in the morning and part of the afternoon, which was far from ideal for the teams.
