PHP Developer - June 18th, 2007
Damien Seguy and company have developed a brand new plush toy based around the PHP elephant idea set out by Vincent Pontier a while back:
The elephant is a community project. It was started as a crazy idea that I used to suggest to a number of people. I managed to draw a lot of happy smile, but I suspect that half this happiness was due to sheer craziness of the project. […] Of course, it was impossible to prototype this mascot without involving Vincent Pontier. The rest is history. We started prototyping, and within a month, we got this excellent looking plush toy (we’ll tell you about the manufacturer once we get the full load of them).
Check out the post on Nexen.net for lots of product shots (including the obligatory cute kid shot) and details on how it was developed and the answer to the important question - where you can get your hands on one.
Some groups have already ordered a large number of them for themselves and their members, but an online shop is coming soon to Nexen.net where you can pick up your own fuzzy bit of PHPness.

In a a new post to his blog today, Padraic Brady mentions a component of the Zend Framework that’s fallen into the wayside in favor of a Zend-sponsored OpenID component, Zend_Service_Openid. Despite this setback, he still plans on helping with its resurrection, maybe just in a different form.
After posting some questions to the mailing list before adding any additional formal proposals, I have learned another OpenID library for the Zend Framework is also in progress within Zend.
The upshot of this, given it’s a Zend sponsored library, is that I feel like there’s little choice but to abandon my own version of a proposal for the framework. So it’s status is “withdrawn” at this moment as is Zend_Service_Yadis, being a linked proposal. The library itself is not being abandoned, far from it as it has always been my intention to release it under a New BSD License and that plan is not wavering.
He talks about some of the thoughts going through his head of the choice that Zend made and how his library approached the OpenID authentication issues.

Asa follow-up from his previous announcement about the latest release of MyBic framework (including the Firebug debugger support), Jim Plush has made it even easier to get started by sharing this webcast he’s created.
I did a quick little screencast on how to get rolling with the MyBic 2 Firebug PHP Debugger.
The screencast (mov) steps through the setup of the debugger support for the framework via the Firefox extension all set up custom to work magically with the MyBic framework.
