Congratulations Phoenix!

No, not the redhead, the NASA Mars Probe. After 296 days, 422 million miles, the Mars Phoenix Lander made the first successful soft landing on Mars since the Viking landers in the 1970s. Over the next few years, we’re going to learn so much about Mars, and by extension the world around us. The data from the Phoenix Lander is going to give us information that will be hugely valuable should we ever decide to send humans to Mars. (I’m not going to get into the whole “Manned exploration is (not) useful debate other than to say: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. Some things, machines just can’t do.)

This is big news here in the old pueblo, lots of ties to the U of A

It’s not news that Bindable Behavior has saved countless lives in terms of functionality.

As of Changeset 6918 this has now been integrated into the CakePHP core. So, we’ll have something to look forward to in the official release of CakePHP 1.2. Mind you, there may be a lot of other hidden gems in there, I just haven’t been paying attention lately :).

For a complete list of the differences and changes you can check out the
Containable Test Cases for excellent examples of how to use this to it’s full potential.

One of those things that is great to see in the core and to have good test coverage as well. One of the biggest bangs for the buck in terms of site performance after/before/durring adding caching…
