New PHP Tek Blog Post: Getting Around Chicago

Yeah, that seemed odd to me. Do I want to laser my print bed? I don't think I do. But I'm very interested in the dual heads.

@lucky13toys.bsky.social my 5 year old just came up and asked me for a 'coloring page like the dummies' - and he pointed to the dummy 13 figures I had. Thought you'd like that. So I had ChatGPT draw one up.

I feel like the @bambulabglobal.bsky.social H2D extras like the laser / plotter are just a bit of noise - but the dual head solves my primary interest in multihead printers, being able to print flexible + rigid.

Looks like @bambulabglobal.bsky.social will be releasing a dual extruder. Not sure that'll change my mind about my next printer being a 5 head @prusa3d.com. But I love the new Bambu @kickstarter.com campaign (yes, I backed).

Excited to give this new talk.

But honestly, PHP is a good templating language. As long as you make it clear what a template is.

Ha, I meant nothing more than being silly.

Our dog had some deal with the hens a few winters ago. They'd lay in a secret place and he'd grab them and bury them in the snow. Then eat them.

No short tags?

Honestly, RSS was pretty great, right?

Been a while since I played with them, but there are tags you should be able to write to from a phone, and just set the data to a URL.

👆 huge advantage.

Chickens are the gateway to pigs.

Bought an ender 3 a few years back and love using it for practical prints around the house, shop, homestead.

I'm here for you.

I built my latest dev system early 2021 and couldn't either find, or be willing to pay for, any significantly powerful GPU. Basically, a similar experience to shopping for lumber.

Yeah, noticed the article was posted on mastodon. That prompted me to post it here.

Not sure how many #php people there are on here, but #tek23 is next month and I'm really excited to be together with our whole dev team.
