@YannisRizos I won't be able to predict my exact availability next weekend. The (positive) flipside is,...
...I don't have particular limitations on the event time frame either. If you ping me 24 (or better yet 48) hours before the event, I'd do my best to join
@Morons I really do hate writing, and you'd end up with a rather bitter tone of the article as I don't agree with the change the site took. You can find most of the information on meta though, in particular this question
Hey folks....would an article on PHP SQL data access and providing the correct guidance on which library to choose (i.e. avoid mysql_*, go with PDO instead) be ok on the PSE blog?
@Kev Yes, it would be perfect for the blog. You can login to the blog with the same credentials you use for SE in general, and I can send you an invitation to our Trello board in the email you're using in your ProgSE account (or any other email you'd want).
@YannisRizos wouldn't really be for me, but for one of the PHP folks. Trying to get them to fight their "stop using mysql_*" battle somewhere more useful than littering the comments with the same copy/paste comment they've constructed.
@YannisRizos I think they're hoping SE's google juice will bump the article on top of these out of date w3schools articles in search results..I kinda swung them round to taking a longer term approach on solving that problem
Hopefully that will happen, do you want to go into the PHP room now and talk about it? We'd welcome any programming blog post, and the Programmers blog is a good enough solution since SO doesn't have its own community blog.
@Kev Yes, we are more or less in the same timezone, just ping me here or in TL. In case I'm not around, tell the PHP folks that they can post on our blog if they want to.
(which reminds me, it's almost 2AM here, goodnight ;)
