PHP Abstract Episode 22: Screen Scraping
One Programming Podcast that I subscribe to on my Zune is PHP Abstract. This podcast was put together by Matthew Turland and discussed Screen Scraping. This is kind of a “black art” but interesting nontheless. He discusses both Retrieval of Source Code using a function call and also a post call in PHP. He also […]
What is a Forum?
In earlier Blog Posts I have discussed the differences between Forums, or Message Boards, and their popular counterpart, the Blog. I had a client today send a note asking us if we had a document that explained what a forum was and how it operated so they could in turn release this document to their […]
Table-Based Layouts (The Next Big Thing) in CSS

If you are in the web development / hosting business or follow the industry any at all […]
Now Syndicated on Facebook!
I have been syndicating my blog on Facebook for the past few weeks and have had some really positive feedback from it. It’s kind of cool because you would think that by limiting your exposure by posting entries on a social network like Facebook you would be essentially limiting the amoount of people that are […]
The Guy Goma Story…
The Guy Goma story is one of my favorite stories to have ever popped up on the web. Long story short, he’s the guy that went to the BBC (British Television Network) for a job interview and was mistakenly whisked onto a production set and mistakenly interviewed thinking he was someone else (a technology consultant). […]
