In honour of my return from #tek23, I gathered up my collection of elephpants to share with you. I am looking to trade some of the doubles so let me know. 1/X
@grmpyprogrammer which ones are actually available for trade? I would be interested in the big Wooly Mammoth, Blue Zend and Zend X-Ray. But you may not want to part with those. I got plenty of doubles available, they are all listed on https://elephpant.me/herd/doppynl. Happy to talk here.
@grmpyprogrammer totally understand. I could use a second red zend for other trades, but shipping from/to Canada would make it less interesting. Also other people probably are interested in that one as well.
if you ever change your mind about the large mammoth though, it is by far my favourite elephpant. Totally understand you want to keep that though.
A ConFoo elephpant (gotten through trades as I was banned from the event for several years) and a red Zend one. I have two of the red Zend ones, looking to trade. 4/x
@josh The organizers did not have a sense of humour about social media jokes made about mass rejections. Rejected my submissions and was told to not submit talks in the future.
@grmpyprogrammer This purple one should be the PHP Women branded elephpant. The ear is covering up the “women” word that should be oriented vertically, like in this version of the logo:
@grmpyprogrammer My memory is failing me on this, but some of the folks from #PHPWomen might have worked with @dseguy to create the original pink #elephpant back in 2006 or 07. Depending on where this pink one came from, it could be part of that run, or it could be the later one produced by OpenGoodies.
@ramsey@grmpyprogrammer There were two generations of pink, one with nexen, one with opengoodies. They have distinct fur, so if the bum tag is not there anymore, you can send me a picture and I'll tell you.
PHP women was a separate generation, made later. No or little relationship between the two.
I remember that the pink was a request for babies, along with traditional colors. It probably started like this.
