Derick Rethans points out that the group putting on the PHP Vikinger conference has found a home:

It will be at one of the old factory buildings here at Klosteroya, close to eZ Systems' offices. The room has about space for 80 people, and has a nice view over the river southwards.

You can find out more about there conference on the main website, including reserving your spot to attend.

In this new entry on his blog, Alexander Netkachev shares a hint for those PHP IDE Eclipse users out there frustrated with php.ini issues.

You may notice that the IDE does not load options specified in the php.ini and this makes customizing extensions impossible. I run into this problem today and looked over the source code of PHP plugin for it.

The solution he found was in an update he found to one of the Java files, pointing it to the correct location. Changing this changes the default setting for the editor.
