Back in the office after an excellent #phpday!
Possibly the most important thing I learned was from @ocramius@mastodon.social: there is a `-f` parameter to cowsay!

Visited the Isle of Wight Steam Railway today #photography
I’m in Town for #phpuk. Found @GeeH@phpc.social, @derickr@phpc.social, @bashofmann@det.social &
@pollita@phpc.social!
I have just released Slim Framework 4.15.2.
This fixes a reflected XSS vulnerability in Slim’s HTML error renderer.
If you are using Slim 4.4.0 to 4.15.1 and set untrusted/user-derived data into HttpException, please upgrade to Slim 4.15.2.

Dropping a donation to Wikipedia today.
One of the highlights* of running my own business is that I also get to do all the admin.
Today, I’ve been updating 19FT’s PI/EL insurance policy statement of fact for renewal for another year.
*not a highlight at all
Not everyone can update to the latest version of Slim, so I'm delighted to release version 3.13.0 which allows Slim 3.x to run on PHP 8.4 and PHP 8.5.
Thanks to @oliver@phpc.social for their work on this!
Creating yet another @phpstan@phpc.social rule.
I blame both @OndrejMirtes@phpc.social and @DaveLiddament@phpc.social for their excellent talks on this subject.
Today we’re joining @bagder@mastodon.social’s club with rst2pdf’s first security report that appears to be entirely AI generated #sigh
I'm at #PHPUK today! The schedule's looking good and I'm excited to meet everyone.
I'm speaking this afternoon on API security, looking at the OWASP API Security Top 10 in the main track at 15:30. Come and say hi!

@sil@mastodon.social This matches my experience. I’ve found the humans on the end of the phone at HMRC very helpful.

It is great that @thephpf@phpc.social has a full time Executive Director,
@elizabeth@fosstodon.org is an amazing person and I’m confident she’ll be fantastic.
As noted by fellow BrumTech’er @maxw@ruby.social, tech is weird right now and everyone should consider whether they should join a union. I have another friend who had contract issues at the end of their employment where their union helped clarify things and supported them.
Membership seems useful. Think about it.
That feeling when the email says "Please see attached diagram.” and you scroll down past the pages of disclaimers in the footer to see design.xlsx attached.
It’s going to be one of those days.

I love this. It is long, but Cory Doctorow’s Post-American Internet speech is worth a watch or read of the transcript.
Lots of food for thought.
I’m at #monkigras today! Yesterday set a hug bar with amazing speakers and I’m expecting the same today. First up is Danilo Campos.
