The WordPress for iPhone application was recently released. It’s free and native, and so far the general consensus is that it’s nice but still has some kinks to work out. Indeed, I typo’d the password when setting this blog up in it and was presented with this broken screen:

Here’s some exciting news on the Orlando Coworking front. CoLab Orlando is on the verge of opening in the historic Angebilt building at Orange and Wall St. Etan Horowitz at the Orlando Sentinel got a tour of it today and posted a pretty thorough piece on it. They plan to open it to the general public in September and looks like it might be $250 per month to set up permanent shop in the space. Day passes will likely be $25, but all the prices are still up in the air.
Until then, there’s the Coworking Orlando list, and the regular tuesday coworking at Stardust.
Now this is cool. Media Temple, in partnership with Parallels, is going to soon be offering XServe virtual hosting with the ability to scale up to a full XServe’s worth of power and server resources. Offering everything an XServe has, including serving multiple web sites (including built-in wikis and blogs, whatever that means), iCal Server, Directory, and Time Machine backups - I’m hoping that it will prove to be useful for small group ware work and personal site hosting.
You can apply for the Private Beta here.
Bonnier Corp, my current employer, allows us to host the Orlando PHP Meet-Up group at our offices. It was recently resurrected after a year or so of lying dormant.
For the month of June we are going to be staging a ‘Code Shoot Out’ between 4 of the most popular development frameworks for PHP: CakePHP, Zend Framework, Symfony, and Code Igniter.
The idea is simple: Each developer, who is already familiar with the framework they are using (in order to remove the learning curve all frameworks have from the equation), will take the same MySQL schema and create the same application with it. This way we the strengths and weaknesses of each framework could be compared in a relative way, instead of absolutely.
If you’re interested in attending, sign up and RSVP as soon as possible, as it is filling up quickly.
