I started using InPhonex, a VoIP provider for individual customers, about 2 years ago because I needed a professional phone number in Lima, Perú, and there were very little providers for this kind of number at the time. During the first 6 months, I had disconnect problems almost every week. While discussing with InPhonex support, it appeared they changed their codec, then something was supposedly wrong with my internet line (I had another IP line from Belgium working just fine on the same phone, same internet connexion).

Before I forget all about it, I want to make a note of what happened, what was good and what could be improved for the PHP Day event we organized jointly with Mobile Bridges, another software development company in Lima. The schedule was the following (translated to English for the purpose of this article):

• 5.00-5.10pm: Welcome words
• 5.10-6.00pm: High availability, efficiency, efficacy and interoperability in PHP - Humberto Bejarano, RPP
• 6.00-6.50pm: Flash with PHP - Alexander Quevedo, Mobile Bridges
• 6.50-7.40pm: Increasing the coverage of PHP solutions i

Starting 1st of January 2010, BeezNest Latino, formerly known as Dokeos Latinoamérica, will join efforts with BeezNest Belgium to provide its customers with a wider set of products and services, as well as regular support in Spanish.

I found a great page that gives a very short an concize manual for using crontabs: http://www.adminschoice.com/docs/crontab.htm

A frequent question I've been asked is why, when installing Dokeos on a local computer, then trying to see it from another computer, the styles are broken (the homepage appears as a list of links from top to bottom). This is all a question of Name Resolution (or DNS).

How you did it

The initial problem lies on how you did the installation on your local computer: you downloaded Dokeos, then took the easy way and installed it on "http://localhost/dokeos/", or "http://127.0.0.1", or even your local IP "http://192.168.0.15" for example.

I just realized, through Chris Shifflet's twitter feed, that there is a website called PHPAdvent, that gives a list of articles by celebrities or half-celebrities of the PHP world (including a few interesting ones about PHP advocacy). http://phpadvent.org/2008

PHP 5.3.1 is out with around 100 bugfixes + security patches. See details here

Apparently, the next versions of OpenERP will be AGPL. I could not approve this change enough.

For those like me who remember being able to see memory usage in KCacheGrind using Xdebug, well...
