When I'm traveling, I often like to sample beer that's unavailable here in beer-wasteland-Quebec (local microbreweries not withstanding).

For some reason, I often get asked for ID... especially in near-airport bars and restaurants. I noticed that in Orlando, last year, everyone in every group was carded each time anyone ordered any sort of alcohol. I guess they have a low-tolerance for under age drinking, there, or perhaps their waiters are just well-trained to ask everyone for ID.

Anyway, the first piece of ID I usually have on-hand is my Quebec driver's license. Quebec is messed up in many ways, but one that they're particularly oblivious about is that our driver's licenses don't explicitly show the holder's birth date. It's abstracted into the license number, and isn't obvious to anyone who's never seen one before.

(note: yes, there is a PHP (or at least code) related component to this piece, if you feel like reading on. It has to do with idiotic short date formats.)

Marco already posted on this, but I thought I'd pitch in our side of the story.

At php|works, this year (a couple weeks ago), our /fear(some|ful)/ leader was absent. He had some personal stuff that conflicted with the conference's schedule, so he left it in our (Paul, Arbi and myself) mostly-capable hands.

I think we did a good job, even without him, but to deter him for deserting us at our [bigger!] spring conference, we came up with an idea... a good idea (-:

In light of the recent posts on PHP Function Aliases, I just wanted to point out a script I host:

Function Alias List in PHP

The script was written by Dave Barr, originally. I'd intended to eventually port it to Doc Web with the other tools but I guess we missed this one...

Anyway, take a look at the aliases. Interesting info, there. Should update daily (I just fixed the cron job).
