the obsession with coding standards that seems to grip the php developer community absolutely boggles my mind. then again, i also really like perl. but i still don't completely comprehend the '..' operator in a scalar context.

oh, i'm 222 notes behind. there's 5156 total. the ten pages with the most notes make up 12% of that total.

the connectivity between the two php.net machines hosted at pair got fixed (duplex issues), so i'll be able to get back to the news.php.net stuff in the new year.
