But what I realized was that the whole WPA thing with my laptop added to the pile of “little problems I haven’t solved yet.&# I knew that I should do it at some point, but I hadn’t encountered a WPA network until last week, so I hadn’t bothered. Needless to say, I’m doing that right now. Directories were shared.

It looked quite like it might be a fun event to be at, but the hefty $3000 price tag for admission wasn’t something that I could possibly stomach, so I sat in front of my laptop, watching people describe new tools.

I'd pictured it as a room with a bunch of developers at tables, laptops open, showing off the ways they'd managed to build useful tools using the Facebook Platform or API.

At some point, when I’ve saved up enough pennies, I’m going to buy a Mac laptop again. I think it can also work for the folks who perhaps use laptops as their primary machines, and don’t do anything except email and web. And, guess what? I’m giving up. And, of course, always, for developers.

See how non-profits can navigate the coronavirus here. For those who have an exercise bike at home, you can also encourage them to, set up their laptop or mobile camera and cycle together.

I set up both on my laptop, and tried out some really simple app development. Symfony November 6, 2008 In my new explorations of PHP web application development, it seemed a good idea to get a look at both CakePHP and Symfony.
