Prelude

I'm back. The project that has been my taking up my daily supply of quality thoughts is done. This post will be twice as good as the last one. Unfortunately, the last one was like a 1.5 out of ten, so you're only getting a 3 here.

Let's spice this one and give it a theme: "Acceptable phrases with NSFW origins." For example: With the release of my CakePHP book I really opened up the kimono on all my accumulated knowledge. Got it? See if you can find them all. BTW, this is the last time I'll plug the book in this post. Really.

News

Yet another internationalized CakePHP site goes up: cakephp.com.br. This one is for the Brazilian users.
Saudações brasileiras Bakers! Sabia que eu escrevi um livro? Eu sei que prometi não mencioná-la novamente, mas esses idiotas falam Inglês não vai saber a diferença.

Tickets and Commits

The current list of open bugs is pretty short and over half of them have been assigned, which usually means they'll get marked invalid and disappeared soon or fixed...sometimes they get fixed. They all seem pretty obscure - 2 of them deal with email and 3 with MSSQL. Nothing like the XSS issue from last time that had Cake bent over a table.

In The Wild

Starcraft 2 Armory

Miles Johnson announced the relaunch of Starcraft 2 Armory. Starcraft 2 is the forthcoming prequel to the somewhat popular N64 game: StarCraft 64 released in 2000. Almost ten years between games can really build up a lot of expectations. Let's hope they didn't shoot their load on the first one and still have something left. Oddly, the series skips from chapter 64 to chapter 2. Not sure why they didn't just go all the way back and do chapter 1. Weird.

tutrme

The domain is tutrme.com, which is short for "tutor me." It's a site for matching tutees and tutors.

Nothing really stood out to me. clown-hat-frowny-face <:(

What do you hate about CakePHP?

The most interesting topic was "what do you hate about CakePHP?" started by Nate. Of course, anyone whose reading this has already seen it, so I really should dig around and find some less traveled threads.

Johnny Two Times

Like this one, which cracked me up because of the topic and the second and third posts.

Yes, there's a function for that

Or this thread where I learned about Controller::disableCache. Seriously, Cake has a function for everything. Unless you're balls deep in the API there's no way you can know them all.

DebugKit

Mark Story has released the latest version of the DebugKit. Also it's been over one year since Mark made his first CakePHP commit. Since then he's averaged almost 3 commits a day between the various CakePHP projects. It's almost like he gets off on it, which is awesome for us since he produces some great output. Umm...Uh...let's just move on...

Check back in a few days

I had marked this HABTM counter cache behavior for later reading, but unfortunately there was some change, so it's waiting to be approved again - what a pain in the ass.

Vimeo Datasource

I'm a sucker for datasources - here's one for the Vimeo API.
