Book review CakePHP 1.3 Application Development Cookbook by Mariano Iglesias
I had this book on order since it was announced, it took a while to arrive, a while to find the time to write this review, and then a while longer to publish it. I could apologise to my readers here, but it's probably more time effective if I just send you both an email.
Anyway, the book: Mariano is no stranger to the CakePHP community, and through various things that he's published or contributed has demonstrated that he probably knows a thing or two about making apps with CakePHP.
Everything about this book set's high expectations. The author; the reviewers; the topics covered and the bee on the cover.
Positive Points
Packt Publishing's format of Get ready, Do it, How it works is clearly a formula that works and works well for programming books, no
complaints on that front, each chapter in the book seems focused and allows you to do, see it working[1] and then analyze what you've done
to understand better how the code is working.
PHP Barcelona 2010 roundup
The conference is over, the hangover has subsided, so it's time to review my notes, resurrect the desire to write and apply that to a summary of what I thought about this years experience.
I probably won't manage to do this for every conference/event I attend, but it's a perfect excuse to write something which doesn't begin with <?php.
The venue is a great location for such an event - although it's understandable why there were problems getting late tickets as it was clearly close to or at capacity.
Below you'll find a brief summary for each of the presentations I attended from the conference schedule.
If you notice a gap - that's probably because I arrived late or was too busy socializing :).
So I think it's about time I started blogging again
Yeah, I know.
It's been almost a year since I last used my blog - mainly for the usual excuses (too much
work, real life gets in the way) but also because quite simply I didn't have the right frame of
mind to form coherent sentances that I felt were worth publishing. In the past few weeks
(months?) I haven't been around on irc much, haven't had much time for skimming the...

mind to form coherent sentances that I felt were worth publishing. In the past few weeks
(months?) I haven't been around on irc much, haven't had much time for skimming the google
group and cake book submissions - which has also left me with a problem: I don't have a
soapbox.
The Cookbook Source is released into the wild
It's been a long time coming, but we finally got around to creating a publicly visible
repository for the Cookbook's source code. This seems
like worthy news to (re)commence blogging again after my extended silence.
Where is it? it's hosted on The Chaw, and here's the direct link.
Enjoy.

Mysql - don't forget if you set innodb_force_recovery
Today I got the following error message:

I couldn't figure out what could possibly be the cause - the file was valid and worked on
another machine.
