I’m a big fan of capistrano for my deployment and generally also prefer the command line (vs. nifty web interfaces). Recently, I realized that it would be better to give up some responsibility to others on a project and it seems the easiest in terms of capistrano is webistrano — by the Berlin-based Peritor. Gimme a port! Because FreeBSD is and always will be my favorite operating system, I created a small port for webistrano on FreeBSD....
Frequently, you do client work and if you are fortunate enough, you can setup a development environment on your own server or your laptop (or whatever), tinker with the files, and templates, and so on — until it’s all done.

Since part one and two were uber-successful, here’s an update on my Zend Framework PHP performance situation. I’ve also had this post sitting around since beginning of May and I figured if I don’t post it now, I never will.

Mmmhhhh!!! Just kidding of course. ;-) I’m sure you’ve already read Ulf Wendel’s blog post about the PHP BBQ Tour. And as you noticed, he’ll be in town Berlin on the 18th June. What better opportunity is there to come out and share a Bratwurst (or a veggie-dog) with a couple people from the local PHP usergroup, and MySQL Sun (Oracle?) and other known PHP folks such as PHPUnit’s Sebastian Bergmann and Mayflower’s Bjoern Schotte....
