« PHP Unconference '07 @ ZendCon | Main | Ramblecast 2.0 now released to the unsuspecting public »

I now know what to name my future child

Yeah, yeah, ZendCon is going on right now and it seems to be going well. I gave a presentation yesterday via iChat at the Zend UnConference 2007 and it was pretty good, except for my computer crashing during the Q&A at the end and thus abruptly severing the connection. Yikes!

But, more importantly, this XKCD comic is making rounds on all database-related blogs. Tom Kyte, Pete Finnigan, and many others are referencing it like it's going out of style. At least 6 people IMed me this morning telling me about it. If this comic teaches at least one person about SQL injections, we win. Thank you, XKCD! (*appends name to list of possible baby names*)

In other happy news, Chris Jones reports that the OCI8 extension for PHP has just been released with changes to support Oracle Database 11g "Database Resident Connection Pooling" (DRCP). Yay!
