Framework Battle?

^ Also a cool way of each other checking on each others status (plugging it into twitter)

Well I just found a huge downfall in CakePHP (while coding another app)... It's routing sucks more than a vacuum!!! Seriously, it can't even really handle URL's like:

example.com/controller/param/action

Instead I had to pass all the requests for that controller to another mapper function... crud tastic!!!

EDIT:// I'll probably just start twittering all my development finds @ http://twitter.com/stuartloxton

You should setup a location to grab twitter feeds specific to this battle, so people don't have to go to twitter all the time

Will do later, is everyone going to update on twitter or some other system?

**blazes** · January 31st, 2008, 08:33 AM

I can do whatever. Since you started on twitter, I might was well. www.twitter.com/blazes816

I can too, but how do you guys separate normal tweets from tweets about this?

**blazes** · January 31st, 2008, 08:59 AM

Not sure. You could make a new account just for these tweets (twits?). I don't use twitter, so it won't be a problem here.

**evildrummer** · January 31st, 2008, 09:26 AM

Start with a small string, like:

Code:

// Normal
I'm doing awesome stuff.

// Frame Update
frame: CakePHP routing sucks.

Use a tumblr, and pull the twitter feeds into it. I'll set it up if you kids want.

Could always setup a dummy account, and if you want to tweet about this thing, just say

Code:

@kirupabattle message.

And then just pull in the public feed for kirupa battle.

//twitter is having a super maintainance thing, so it'd be swell that the tumblr can work as a cache for it too.

WOhoo web 2.0 whore!

Twitter IMO is everything that's wrong with the web these days condensed into a silly web app

**blazes** · January 31st, 2008, 10:02 AM

But, as I was telling Pasquale and mrs. Kalani last night, it's made with RoR, which automatically gives it 10 web2.0 cool tokens.

@DM if you could set up that tumblr thing than that would be mighty cool.

@Ramie: I hated it at first but I don't mind it too much now... great way of sending and receiving free texts if you know how.

**blazes** · January 31st, 2008, 11:48 AM

I'm setting up a tumblr. I've created http://twitter.com/kfbattle, and I'll add you all as friends, then use that feed for tumblr.

I love twitter as an app, hate the idea of posting menial details of my life on the web. (o2 give me like 1000 free txt a month, I use about 100 if that)

1030: Drank some mocca, not as nice as yesterdays...
0900: Had a shower (man that was nice)
0600: Got out of bed
