Future of Web Apps Conference
After learning about the future of web design conference back in January and then deciding I was just going to be too busy in April when the conference was scheduled to be held I've been looking for something else. All the more so after watching some of the presentations.
Well the Future of web apps conference is being held in London on the 3rd and 4th October and this one I can attend. I've already booked my place and I'm not too busy this time around.
I'm flying down late on Tuesday and then leaving as soon as the conference ends but if you're in the area, or attending the conference, and want to meet up during the conference get in touch.
The team behind the conference is also organising a roadtrip were they plan to go out and visit 12 European cities. They are visiting Edinburgh so I'll catch up with them then.
Future of Web Apps . . . I'll be there

Elsewhere . . .
A couple of quick announcements . . .
New PEAR package for the Compete API
After writing about the compete API Hiroki Akimoto contacted me mentioning a proposal he had made to PEAR. Our scripts each had strengths and we decided to combine our attempts and hopefully make something better. After a week or so we updated the proposal with the new code and after a little time for comments and a week for voting the proposal was accepted and on 30th July a new package, Services_Compete, was available on PEAR.
The developer page at Compete is already updated.
The PEAR package is in my opinion superior to the wrapper I released but I'll keep it up in case anyone wants something more lightweight than PEAR.
Youmoz Post
Youmoz is the section of the seomoz site for 'user generated content' and over the previous weekend I decided to give it a try. Lessons Learned from Webmaster Central discusses some of the problems I discovered when I registered the site with Webmaster Central at Google. The fixes involved a little PHP, a small change to my database and a handful of new RewriteRule's in my .htaccess file.
It was more technical than most of the posts there but it seemed to go down well.
