I keep forgetting to mention this, but I'll be speaking at the DC PHP Conference next week about PHP Security Testing and The Truth about XSS. For some reason, they haven't posted the schedule yet, but both of my talks are supposed to be on Thursday (19 Oct), and that's probably the only day I'll be able to attend.

Here are a few of the things I'm looking forward to:

Meeting Eli White, Digg's PHP developer
Hearing all about Mike Naberezny's new company, Maintainable Software
Learning more about ext/soap from Adam Trachtenberg
Socializing with old friends and making new ones

There are plenty of good talks to choose from. Rasmus is speaking about Getting Rich with PHP, his excuse to show off the cool stuff he has been playing with recently. You can also attend Laura's talk about Writing Maintainable Code and Ben's talk about XML and Web Services with PHP. The conference schedule lists all of the talks under the speaker biographies.

I hope to see you there next Thursday!

I haven't heard of any plans to do so. Maybe I should just invest in a recorder, so I can at least offer mp3s of my talks.

I've got an iPod, but it seems I either need to buy an adapter for it or hack it:

Any suggestions for a good standalone recorder?

Why not just get a mini-tape recorder and just encode it offline via your sound card?

If you want a more modern solution, I have been using iRiver products for years and highly recommend them. I have an iFP-390T which comes with audio input so you can record anything that has a headphone jack. It also has a microphone built in to use it as a dictation device. I'm speaking to a model that is older than the iPod, but I'm sure that a new iFP model or something in the "T" series should suffice. http://www.iriveramerica.com

Although, I'm sure that some attendees will already be recording the sessions and you can just announce that you are interested in them sending a copy your way.

Good luck.
