Planet CakePHP

Been a busy few months with work, phpVMS, and vaCentral. I can’t believe my last post was in July. Time really flies!! But anyway, I’m hoping to wrap up the last two projects by the end of October. Right now, there’s 15 airlines participating in testing for vaCentral, and some impressive stats in the last two months or so I’ve been testing:

• 5,055 PIREPs submitted, with an average of 20-30 per day
• Over 22,000 flight hours recorded
• 15 airlines right now, with 705 total pilots

If that’s any indication, I think vaCentral will be a huge success. I’ve been building it on CakePHP, which has made it real easy for development. Doing some tweaks to ranking and stats, but otherwise, almost there.
In other news, I think I’ll be transferring everything over to fivedev.net, as a huge portfolio/blog type of thing. Might be better. I’m still trying to find an alternative to WordPress, but haven’t had much luck. I have a couple of PHP articles I’ve wanted to publish, including one of writing more “portable” PHP, with stuff I learned from developing on phpVMS and other projects, but just haven’t had the time to complete it. Soon, hopefully.
