The next two events have a lot in common. They will both happen in the next couple of months in Lisbon. They will both be held for the first time in Portugal and I want to attend both of them.

OFFF Lisbon’08 - International Festival For The Post-Digital Creation Culture. I’ve heard about this festival earlier this year when I arrived at the office and the design people were all gone. I asked where they were and the answer was: “there are all at the OFFF Festival at Barcelona”.

Flex Camp in Portugal - event about Adobe Flex and AIR, co-hosted between Adobe and the nice guys at RiaPT. More interesting due to the socializing part than probably the technical one but we’ll see.

The company I work for launched a public blog a few days ago. So far there have been posts on technology, entrepreneurship, advertising and a few more topics besides the obvious news about the company. Everyone inside the company is invited to write I can tell you that, although there are some general guidelines to follow. Also, some great people have been posting to it, the CEO,  the R&D director, etc.. so be sure to check it out.

I wanted the latest Cake-PHP dbo_source.php to use with MS SQL Server because there has been a ridiculous amount of recent bug fixes but when I updated I lost the othAuth component functionality.

I started by following the post here about using othAuth in 1.2 pre-beta but I was still getting some errors and ‘deprecated function’ warnings. What worked for me was not adding the line:

<code>
$this->othAuthRestrictions = Configure::read(’Routing.admin’);
</code>

in the beforeFilter() function in app_controller.php as recommended in the post.

I then did some cleaning to eliminate the warnings. The final code I used is here.
