Yesterday, I went to Montreal for a quick business trip, and as I was walking out of the terminal building in the airport I recieved a very interesting SMS from Rogers (my cell phone provider), which went like this: "Welcome to the USA! Access ur voicemail as you do at home. Dial +15147347699 to reach customer care. Enjoy!" Is there something I missed in the news? ;-)

After what seems like forever, I guess the number 13 living up to its name, PHP 5.1.3 is finally out of the door. As always when we have a slow release the number of changes is quite impressive, this time being no different. This release includes over 120 bug fixes, addresses a whole bunch of security issues and even includes a few new features, what more could you ask for ;-).
