Mijo's birthday weekend.

This was a fun weekend. Saturday was a peaceful solo day, I went running by the Washington Monuments and I sat on the steps of the Lincoln monument looking at the reflecting pool and also at the tourists. Whenever I visit the Lincoln monument, I try to count the number of times tourists say "Forest Gump". After my run, I went to the US Holocaust museum. I have to say, after being in the DC area for about a decade, I have never been to the Holocaust museum. It's a nice museum and I need to go back again and finish the rest of it. I had to cut the tour short since I was still in my running clothes, it was getting cold outside, and I was starving and could not pay attention any more. After I got home and had dinner, I went to Mijo's birthday party and partied until the wee hours of the morning.

New VMLab Lab Manager CakePHP Component

Just submitted an article on a component that allows a developer to interact with VMWare LabManager 4.0 within CakePHP using the VMWare LabManager 4.0 SOAP API.

This article assumes that the user is familiar with SOAP, CakePHP, and VMWare LabManager. The article is located at the CakePHP Bakery (pending approval)

The Controller

class LabManagerController extends AppController {
	var $name = 'LabManager';
	var $pageTitle = "VM Lab Manager Assistant";
	var $components = array('LabManager');
	
	function index() {
		$libs = $this->LabManager->getLibraryConfigurationsList();
		pr($libs); // print the library configuration list
	}
}
