PECL/Cairo 0.2.0 released
The first beta version of the PECL/Cairo extension has just been released.
Cairo article published
I've got 3 posts or so queued up in my mind to write out, but some of them rather depend on doing other things first, so this will just be a quick note to say I have an article in the most recent php|architect magazine on the subject of "Vector Graphics with Cairo".
A brief update
Last weekend I spent a couple of days on the yacht Hebridean as part of an RYA sail cruising day skipper course.
Debug of the year
I saw this article on the BBC, where a man who bought a packet of cigarettes from a petrol station in the US ended up being charged $23,148,855,308,184,500 instead.
PECL/Cairo 0.1.0 released
The first alpha of the PECL Cairo extension I've been helping out with has been released.
