Bit of an update – I know things have been quiet but various things have been keeping me away from my coding at the moment – namely our internet connection at work. It has been going on for months now and everything seems to be taking forever to get sorted with no one at the company apparently knowing what is happening and their refusal to send anyone out to sort the problem directly means that I am having to run up and down stairs all day plugging laptops in and doing speed tests while some one sits behind a computer screen in Nottingham scratching their balls and saying “Thats not right”.
I KNOW ITS NOT BLOODY RIGHT! how can 3 bonded lines of 8mbit/s only give a 300k/s download?

Other than that I am trying to sure up the resiliancy of our main client to ensure that any acts of god are taken into account. Unfortunately its not just a case of a few burnt DVD’s / spare hard drives. There is 12TB of data that needs to be mirrored somewhere, plus a new phone system upgrade to allow call queueing and various other office bits. But hopefully next week ill be able to get properly stuck back into the cake stuff – the stuff I have been doing over the past few days has been relatively unexciting.
I would recommend any cakePHP people read my Multiple Model Pagination post as this seems to be the best piece of code I have ever come across – it really has been saving my life on multiple occasions;
