| 03:26.00 | bigdog_ut | macnewbold, you around |
| 03:26.30 | bigdog_ut | synic, you free? |
| 03:27.46 | edgecast | kinda quiet in here |
| 03:28.06 | bigdog_ut | yeah, whatz up |
| 03:28.19 | *** join/#uphpu wps (~wade@208.186.134.102) |
| 03:28.59 | edgecast | just saw wades post about the channel |
| 03:29.08 | edgecast | thought I'd drop by |
| 03:29.09 | bigdog_ut | channel? |
| 03:29.15 | bigdog_ut | oh...the irc channel |
| 03:29.18 | edgecast | this one |
| 03:29.54 | bigdog_ut | yeah...we have this channel but not many users are here...not many like irc |
| 03:29.58 | bigdog_ut | which is :( |
| 03:30.46 | edgecast | it can suck more time from you than the mail list |
| 03:31.08 | edgecast | but much more interactive |
| 03:32.59 | edgecast | How long has this channel been around? |
| 03:33.56 | wps | several months at least |
| 03:34.05 | wps | all summer? |
| 03:35.56 | edgecast | Anyone familiar with PHPmailer? |
| 03:36.14 | wps | not i |
| 03:36.22 | edgecast | I just found it ... seems pretty cool |
| 03:36.43 | edgecast | http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ |
| 03:36.43 | wps | just found out that my neighbor is a PHP developer... and he hadn't heard of UPHPU |
| 03:37.04 | wps | really makes me wonder how many PHP developers there are along the wasatch front... and how many there are that aren't aware of UPHPU |
| 03:38.06 | edgecast | a lot, i'd guess |
| 03:38.24 | wps | I would really like to get the word out more |
| 03:38.30 | wps | any ideas? how do we do that? |
| 03:39.00 | edgecast | networking ... |
| 03:39.25 | edgecast | is there anysort of "tell/invite a friend" feature on the web site? |
| 03:39.36 | wps | no |
| 03:39.44 | wps | interesting thought |
| 03:39.47 | edgecast | might help |
| 03:40.26 | wps | we're number two on google for "utah user group" |
| 03:40.42 | wps | and number two on google for "utah php group" |
| 03:41.44 | edgecast | having the list archives more complete and search engine indexable might help too |
| 03:42.20 | edgecast | but that's not very localized |
| 03:42.37 | wps | i just had an idea |
| 03:43.03 | wps | i should offer some free prizes for each person that gets x number of people signed up |
| 03:43.32 | wps | except I don't want people to be signed up unless they really want to be part of the group |
| 03:44.46 | edgecast | how many current subscribers |
| 03:44.49 | edgecast | ??? |
| 03:45.04 | wps | ~140 |
| 03:45.18 | wps | i want to get better attendance at the meetings |
| 03:45.23 | wps | that's about my only concern |
| 03:45.40 | wps | the mailing list has plenty of knowledge on it to answer someone's question... to I'm not worried about that |
| 03:45.48 | edgecast | any idea how many are current? and active? |
| 03:45.49 | wps | it's just the meetings that i'd like to improve |
| 03:46.02 | wps | 140 is accounts on the site |
| 03:46.09 | wps | 90 is mailing list subscribers |
| 03:46.21 | wps | i'd say about two-thirds of those just lurk |
| 03:46.26 | wps | we get about 20 at meetings |
| 03:46.26 | edgecast | I've never been to a meeting |
| 03:46.33 | edgecast | I'm new |
| 03:46.37 | wps | this month is on SOAP |
| 03:46.43 | wps | next month we have a guy from ebay coming |
| 03:46.56 | edgecast | when are they? |
| 03:47.19 | wps | rotate between AF and Murray |
| 03:47.24 | wps | this month is in Murray |
| 03:47.51 | wps | we've been looking into a location at the point of the mountain too |
| 03:48.06 | wps | location is a big problem though as we have members from Spanish Fork to Ogden |
| 03:48.22 | edgecast | I wanted to do the BBQ last month, but I was not available |
| 03:49.21 | edgecast | is it the same 20 or does the pop. center shift with the location? |
| 03:49.45 | wps | bought half are dedicated, the other have shift |
| 03:49.57 | bigdog_ut | hey i wrote an article that is up on phpbuilder |
| 03:50.07 | bigdog_ut | maybe we should link to it |
| 03:50.22 | edgecast | good idea |
| 03:50.41 | wps | yup... http://www.uphpu.org/admin/story.php?mode=edit |
| 03:51.00 | wps | congrats, bigdot_ut |
| 03:51.06 | bigdog_ut | thanks |
| 03:51.18 | bigdog_ut | i will be having another this week or next on php5 and soap |
| 03:51.27 | wps | rock on |
| 03:51.52 | wps | definitely submit small summaries to UPHPU with links\ |
| 03:52.01 | bigdog_ut | cool |
| 03:52.32 | wps | this is awesome! #uphpu and #byumug have mnore traffic than #utah! |
| 03:52.33 | wps | hah! |
| 03:52.54 | bigdog_ut | really |
| 03:53.07 | wps | #utah's dead right now for some reason |
| 03:57.39 | wps | a break in a switch only jumps you out of the switch, right? now out of any loops that are wrapping the switch, right? |
| 03:57.50 | wps | (getting some weird behavior that I am having trouble debugging) |
| 03:58.22 | wps | *not |
