Some get a kick from cocaine. I'm sure that if I took even one
sniff, it would bore me terrifically, too.
Yet, I get a kick out of you.

In defense of Brian Daley's rant about CAKE and contrary to Nate
Abele's illness,
I believe Brian's point are well founded and justified completely.
As a complete CAKE novice, I knew/know nothing about Cake except
the misinformation that
is contained on their home page, i.e *"No Configuration* - Set-up
the database and watch the magic begin".
So I decided to check it out to see for myself what all the hype
was about so
after wading through a miriad of "give us money" I finally was able
to download the
package and attempted to install it on my local Apache Webserver.
Give that the installation
instruction are clear as mud, I attempted to install it like any
other PHP Application
but when I attempted to run it, I get a "Your database
configuration file is not present."
and a screenful of junk that tells me nothing about how to install
the product, except an instruction
that says, "run the install" but never says what that is.
Installation instructions, never mind documentation,
are suppose to be specific, precise and correct. Cake is none of
the above.
Cake may be cake but it is certainly not soup!
Cake may be indeed a great leap forward but if you can not install
it "out of the box" no one will ever know.
I, personally, don't "shop around" for information that isn't where
it is "suppose" to be. That means that
Cake only had one shot to impress me, they did, negatively! All the
whining on the planet won't fix
an installation process that is fatally flawed.
