Recently, i ordered a sample of a ws2801 based RGB LED strip from China. After todays successful playing around with it, I plan to order a bigger quantity beginning of next week.

Yesterday we started working on an editor for the Symfony2 Content Management Editor, the LiipVieBundle. We use VIE and - until something non-GPL comes along - the Aloha editor. VIE is a piece of javascript on top of backbone.js that handles storing data with a REST backend. In Symfony2, this is a breeze thanks to the FOSRestBundle. Sounds complicated? Its actually quite simple, at least for the user. I made a short video to show how it looks.

At Liip, employees can propose open source projects they want Liip to support. Together with Daniel Barsotti, I did this for the PHP Content Repository implementation Jackalope and Liip was so nice as to grant us a couple of man-weeks to implement stuff for Jackalope. Now that we used up the allocated budget, its time for a progress report what Jackalope can now do.

Last week, Lukas and me went to Italy to join the CMF Camp. Thanks a lot Ideato for hosting and organizing the event! Apart from meeting friendly people from Italy and Germany, eating lots of pizza and other great italian food, we discussed the Symfony content management framework and did a lot of coding on the second day.

Our PHP content repository (PHPCR) implementation "Jackalope" is steadily improving. Besides the Jackrabbit backend, there is now also a driver for SQL databases (powered by Doctrine DB abstraction layer) and first work at a MongoDB driver and one for Midgard 1. Midgard 2 will get its own PHPCR implementation not based on Jackalope, and Typo 3 may choose to come back to PHPCR as well. Now is about time to show how to use that API.

In the PHP content repository, we have a set of interfaces and implementation classes of those interfaces. The interfaces define the standard and are extensively documented.
A while ago, I stumbled over an article about kaleidoscope creation, probably because of one of my adobe Flash collaborators. It was lying around for a while, then during a train ride i hacked something like that together in Processing. It is impressing how different a picture looks when mirrored this way.
