I've been writing this scraper in PHP for the past several months and have it pretty much collecting all the data I want it to. The problem I'm having, is the time frame to go out and grab all of the data is pretty long - like 5-6 hrs for a complete "set"...and when I run a job that size, I...

Anyone here have one? Looking at the Kindle, Sony Reader etc. I have a shitload of books in pdf I'd like to read, but I hate sitting in front of the computer and reading stuff for long periods of time. Would like something easy to carry around that is easy on the eyes, is readable in various...

I've been teaching myself PHP over the last few months and have been making decent progress. Now I'm interested in taking the next steps and writing code that's more organized, easier to maintain and easier to reuse (MVC / OO etc). I'd like to use the experience I've had w/ PHP, so I'm not...

Does anyone have a good source to get updated proxies from on a regular basis? Preferably free? I need a source for a project I'm working on. They don't have to be lightning fast and I already have some script written to check for dead ones. I looked around and the ones I'm finding are dead...

First thing they've done that hasn't pissed me off in awhile.

Looking for outsourcing solutions (beyond the b/s/t section here). Anyone use oDesk? Experiences? Any other good places to find quality people to outsource functions to (content, link building, design, php etc)?

Don't know about you guys, but I love cooking shit on the grill. Nothing like standing by an open flame, with a cold beer and a sizzling piece of meat cooking in front of you. This weekend I'm going to smoke a boston butt (pork shoulder) w/ oak and a dry rub. What about all of you? What do you...

Long story short, I worked out an exclusive deal with a client to help them sell tickets to an event online. I'm getting paid 10% of all the ticket revenue generated from online sales and the AOVs will likely be very high. I'm guessing the average is going to be around $600-$700, maybe more...

Quick question. Probably a stupid one. How do I get 100 results per page when using cURL to scrape Google? Assuming I need to set a cookie or something so it uses that preference setting.

I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong here: $regex = '/[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}/'; preg_match($regex,$data,$match); var_dump($match); echo $match[1]; I have a bunch of text inside of $data and I'm trying to get an email address out of it using preg_match. Right now, the...

For those of you with clients, especially frustrating ones...I've found that playing this in the background of conference calls sends a pretty clear message when things start getting stupid. Take it or leave it.... YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

Basically, I want to feed in a set domains and crawl those for email patterns and extract. If that's not possible, I'm probably going to try and get something written that will get around captchas on who is records. Anyone know of anything? Or a better way to go about this?

Things have kind of been winding down for me the last few weeks, heading into the holiday season. I decided to take advantage of this time and do some strategic planning for 2010. I do quite a bit of client work in addition to AM, and most of 2009 was shoot from the hip. This year I decided to...

Really? I've had plenty of LPs and other creative jacked but never my avatar. WTF. http://www.wickedfire.com/members/evelynds.html

Interesting. I'm assuming it's coming from Google Products data feeds, based on the image and multiple retailers for each listing. I've never seen these pop up in AdWords positions before, only in blended search. Anyone else notice this?

I've been using DW for a long, long time. The other day I realized it's completely unnecessary, because I only use code view. I don't remember the last time I did anything in the design view. Anyways, I'm looking for something lighter than DW that has color coding, code collapse, code complete...

Anyone here do this? Looking for someone to take PSDs and convert them into XHTML for me. Clean compliant code that works on all browsers, decent turnaround times, dependability and reasonable pricing are my concerns. Discalimer: I'm looking at ramping up my client services volume in the...

Anyone else? Or is it just me?

First the Ft. Hood thing, now this. I was on my way down near that area and saw about 40 cop cars fly by, choppers up in the air etc. Now they've completely shut down I-4 around the downtown area (the main highway that runs from Daytona Beach to Tampa across FL). They have all the buildings...
