Travel Plans
After what is probably the longest period of being at home without flying anywhere (since November!) in the last 3 years, I am actually quite excited to be flying again.
After a quick visit to Zend’s Cupertino office, I will be attending two conferences in may: I’ll be visiting the last couple of days (May 22nd - 23rd) of php|tek in Chicago - in which I will not be presenting, but will probably hang around with the Zend guys and go to some lectures.
After spending the weekend with friends in New York City, I’m flying to Germany to attend DLW Europe - a first-year conference dedicated to dynamic languages (PHP, Ruby, Python, Perl etc.). There’s quite a lot of known PHPers attending and speaking, and it looks like it’s going to be a blast. Personally I will be giving a talk I call “Non-framework Zend Framework Components” (working title) - which will showcase some of the more useful components of Zend Framework for those who do not want to base their entire application on it - but rather just need to preform tasks and want to reuse the high-quality components of ZF in order to do that.
So it looks like quite a road trip: Tel Aviv -> San Francisco -> Chicago -> New York ->
Karlsruhe -> Tel Aviv - by the end of it I might be able to buy a MacBook Pro using frequent flyer
miles only 
If you’re in either conferences - come over and say hi!
