Learn Symfony in 24 days
Ok the workshop was great! I can recommend this workshop to everybody with some knowledge of php.
If you're unable to follow the workshop try the tutorial book 'Practical Symfony' (with Doctrine).
This book has been built with a day to day schema of 24 days, which makes it an advent tutorial.
Even if you don't want to use symfony, this book is still usefull because it contains a lot of usefull information about creating a (web)project.
And that's why I encourage everybody to follow this tutorial!
Find the book at: http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_2/Doctrine/en/
Symfony Framework Workshop, I’m invited!

Learning Linux part 6/15: Linux filesystem
In short, the filesystem controls the way how files are organised on the disk.
To describe how this works, I will try to explain some of the process when a file gets accessed.
In order to access a file, the operating system needs the full path of the file.

Vim as a PHP editor
Matthew Weier O'phinney has posted a great article about using vim as your php editor. Adding mappings to run the file through php linter helps you finding any (syntax)errors while you're working in vim.
Also a project plugin is explained in this article.

Turn your Playstation3 into a media center
ps3 megabox project
PS3Hax member Lichemaster announced more then 1,5 year ago a new PS3 project called Megabox. MegaBox is similar to a media center, similar to the XBMC on the Xbox 1, fully functioning on the PS3.
He also quoted:
" The MegaBox has many cool features that any PS3 owner would find interest in such as VoIP, P2P, TV, Movies (Including MKV), and much more!
The best part is the program will require NO INSTALLATION, and would be OPEN SOURCE (based on FREEVO). In layman's terms, all you need to do is pop in a CD/Flash drive with the program and anyone can enjoy it without too much problems (no need for linux either)."

Sounds like a great replacement for XBMC to me!
