CakePHP here I come
In case anyone is wondering why all my posts disappeared, I’m giving up on good old wordpress. It’s been fun using it and yes it’s pretty well put together but I felt the need to build something for myself again.
The whole thing that got me into web development was my old clan the Crazed Cahoots Company. After creating the clan I realised that grusome collection of players would need a website so I got building. Thanks to Barrysworld (blimey, remember them) I started off with really really bad php code and soon got going.
Since then I’ve got stuck in a rut several times, wondering from project to project. Using finding it hard to get interested or find the time. Well I figured it I build something for myself the time doesn’t matter, just the what.
I really like CakePHP and it’s certainly growing on my so I decided to build my own site with it. I’ve got quite a few bits working but need to tune it up and little and add a comments system (and something to keep the spam at bay). When I get it up and running in a couple of weeks I’ll start blogging more about my adventures in CakePHP and ColdFusion (which I use for web applications in my job).
So stay tuned anyone who reads this blog. Stuff really is coming ![]()

Great job dumping Wordpress for your own CakePHP website! You learn a lot more by doing it yourself - as long as you don’t mind spending the time on it.

@Daniel, thanks for the suggestion. I’ll probably take a look at it for some inspiration, but I’ve pretty much settled on rolling out my own solution
@Marc, cheers for the encouragement. I’ve learned loads already just from starting out, don’t mind spending the time on it as it all helps me learn more about CakePHP and keep my PHP knowledge ticking over. Especially since I’m stuck with ColdFusion in work… now if only there was a ColdCake or CakeFusion…. yum

HUm.. anyway, I was just trying to register ’cause I needed to ask you something… I’ve got poisoned by a scorpion in stranded II, and just don’t know how to get rid of the poison…

I gave a little look on the forums and on your Stranded II Guide and couldn’t find out how to heal myself…
Thanks for help, congratulations for your website and… sorry for posting this here…
