Cake console

Friday, February 8th, 2008

To ease the use of the cake command I wrote a small and simple bash_completion script.
If you are using Linux is probably only an apt command away to have the bash completion. On Ubuntu it is even included in the standard desktop. On a mac you have to install the bash completion via mac ports [...]

CakeFest

I just arrived in Charlotte, SC and wait for my connection flight to Orlando, FL.
CakeFest will be the first official CakePHP gathering and I’m looking forward to meet all those stranger I only know from the mailing list and their blogs. The 1.2 release is still not finished but loads of things have changed. [...]

For code lovers

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

When programming, it’s dangerous to fall in love with your code, as the best solution may often involve throwing half of it away.
Edd Dumbill on agile infrastructure
I’m currently working with CakePHP’s testsuite, which is nice. Generally PHP is behind other languages’ testing implementation (py.test, RoR, jUnit 4.0). But using SimpleTest seemed to be the best [...]

Plazes is looking for C++/Qt developers starting January 2006 in Berlin.

Happy ham remover

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

Tim wrote about How to not be removed from a newsletter. I just searched for mailoff_m.php3 and found points24.com. According to Tim they have 4.000.000 subscribers. More or less willingly, if you read this thread (including unwillingly Tim). So he is right in asking, what to do!?

Attention and Focus

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

AttentionTrust.org is a non-profit organization and serves a firefox extension to keep track of your browsing history. It is based on Steve Gillmors idea of attention.xml (technorati developer wiki). As I can see the social component is still missing, it is only your attention and not the attention brought to you by your social [...]

“The Cake is a lightweight framework written in PHP, based on the concepts used in Rails. It’s primary goal is to rapidly create and maintain web applications of any kind and level of complexity.”

There is a new business networking tool by O’Reilly called connection. Looks kind of neat. If you register get me connected.

Project Tool

Saturday, July 16th, 2005

For my projects I usually use a Mediawiki, Mantis and Subversion (WebSVN). But if you want to share information with clients and other people involved in one project, in most cases it is not the best solution to give all the information in your wiki to your clients. Maybe there is important information not to [...]
