Update for CakePHP-Goodies (AutoJavascript and Gravatar Helpers)
Saturday, 22 May 2010
Tagged: Website, General
Just a quick one tonight.. I've received some feedback via the CakePHP Bakery indicating that an oversight in the pathing for the unexpectedly popular Automatic Javascript Includer Helper caused it to not work for Windows systems.
While I don't much care for windows development or servers, I have corrected the issue, and you can now also be lazy with your JS includes on windows too!
Sketching up a storm

Myself and a couple of mates (Tom Campbell and John Marsden) have been messing around with our graphics tablets. We've all had one for a while, but never really put too much effort into using them. John decided, after drawing this awesome nightingale as a concept for the Nightingale Project, that drawing together as a group on a single concept in short bursts would encourage us to draw more.
Limited to 30 minutes for the drawing, it keeps you moving but still allows for plenty of time for a quality result. We've completed two sessions so far, and the results are encouraging. Personally, I didn't finish the first session in time, but its all part of the learning process.
More CakePHP visualizations, 2010 Jan to May

Hot on the heels of yesterdays post, I've created a visualization of the development going on for CakePHP from all contributors from January 2010 to May 2010. This is slower than the previous visual, allowing you to see more clearly what is going on and who is working with what parts of the tree.
Once again, the hard work and praise goes to the Gource team. Without this, I'd have to rely on something like Code Swarm, which in my opinion, is just not as pretty... Anyway, on with the video:
CakePHP, a visual history: 0 - 1.3.0

This is a short post, but hopefully an interesting one. I've been messing around with Gource which is adamn funky tool for producing sexy visualisations from version control systems. While we've seen this functionality from Code Swarm before, I felt the result from Gource was far better in comparison.
What I have produced is a fast-paced visual history of the CakePHP repository from the point it was initiated in the current timeline (First frame on 16th May 2005) up until today (close to the release a few days back for CakePHP 1.3.0. The result is nothing short of awesome.
