On the Debuggable blog Felix Geisendorfer points out the need for some more "cooks in the kitchen" - people to fill some CakePHP related positions in companies all over.

There are new jobs in the world of CakePHP. The CakePHP job board has seen the following additions.

The new items include positions at About.com, Makatto.com and Blue Chips. Check out the job board for more information on these and other open CakePHP-related positions.

In his latest post, Scott Mattocks talks about an application he's created combining PHP-GTK2 and the OnForce web service API to manage work orders and their properties.

I like the idea of taking something that is normally web based and putting it on the user's desktop. This way things can be made a little more intuitive and comfortable for the user because the application isn't constrained by the web browser any more.

Some of the features included already are:

• putting together a batch of work orders while offline and sending them when connected again
• pull down work order data
• close work orders
• get and add notes

He links to the application and wonders what else could be made with the OnForce API as well (suggestions anyone?). To get all of the details on the OnForce API, check out their developer section.

Amir Saied has posted an update to his PEAR Services_Ebay project sa have been comitted to his CVS repository.

As I posted earlier, I'm working on the PEAR package Services_Ebay. To update it to new eBay XML schema, I've done some of the Calls/Models/Examples and touched the request skeleton to be compatible with eBay's new schema and finally committed them to the PEAR CVS. But unfortunately I can't continue with this job as before.

He notes that the version is not production ready, and since he won't be able to work on it as before, he's also including a progress file to help keep track of where the project stands.
