Problem Event Logging in CakePHP

How do you enable logging in CakePHP? I’m kinda lazy to call my good friend Google today.

Deploying to Remote Servers Using Capistrano

Today I stumbled upon a good guide on using Capistrano without subversion.

Drooling over Macs

I just saw a couple of people pulled out their MacBooks at Kublai Khan. How I would love to get my hands on them (the Macs not the people).

Trying out CakePHP

When I was evaluating PHP web frameworks that I would focus on and use on a regular basis, I didn’t go with CakePHP. Instead, I went with CodeIgniter for reason that I was able make and run a sample app with CodeIgniter a few minutes after install while I was pulling hairs with CakePHP.

But not anymore. I had a pleasant experience experimenting with CakePHP over the last couple of days. It might be that I have I already know Rails which made Cake’s approach fits my brain easily as Cake and Rails have lots of similarities.

Deciding which PHP framework to use on the next project will be a very hard decision to make for me. Cake’s ActiveRecord implementation is better than that of CI. On the other hand, CI gives me full control of almost everything.
