Wednesday

USS Empresa in San Diego Bay, 18:00
July 26
Battle lines are being drawn, challenges issued, and foofa is the order
of the day. On the eve of the first Miva Developers Conference,
leaderless Mivets are wandering the streets of innocent San Diego accosting
confused PHP coders (the PHP coders were already confused when they
got here, but that's another story).
We've seen it all before -- the nation's finest Miva developers are callously
left unattended and under appreciated. They've traveled from three
corners of the globe to immerse themselves in a blatant orgy of
scripting delight; only to find no scheduled activities, no parties, no
servers, and not even any naked dancing men; accept for the one iHTML
developer who we left in the trunk of a '72 Olds down in Tijuana.
He was last heard muttering something about rectal bleeding and
failing the audition for the donkey show, whatever that means. |

We (the author and his
invisible friend) have languished in a downtown hotel room for an
eternity. Hell, 2-3 hours at least. Punching up pay-per-view movies
& slamming down room service from our covert observation post. As
the pictures from the OP show, the USS Empresa had been left virtually
unprotected before we took up our defensive positions. Notice in the the
picture the new prototype PHP construction kit off her fantail, and
that lurking Russian PHP trawler off her bow. We speared those ruskies
with a casual twist of our topsail (just so we could keep an eye on
them). They'll give Ivo's French security tiger team something to warm
up on once they get here. So Wednesday is
almost a total bust (as of 8pm, at least). But just how many PHP freaks
can one put into an endless loop before loosing interest? As
developers' return from wandering the streets of downtown San Diego, we
hope to locate them in the more seamy bars and Navy training facilities
which occupy every nook and cranny of this odd town. As they are
discovered, we'll expose them here.
Update
Massive detonations occured over the city at 21:00 hours. Really awful photo here.
To some it might have appeared to be celebratory fireworks display announcing the Miva Millennia, but insiders
know it was actually the explosion of a PHP developer's brain after trying to offer the Merchant feature set
in a PHP script.
