Yan Huang (me) explains the way he automates his process of gaining leads from Craigslist, using PHP/SMTP and Gmail to do so. The Craigslist URL is pasted into the Craigslist API that we developed, and the output is a datafile in CSV format. This server does the parsing of Craigslist pages, and strips […]
I never had a purpose for creating a Facebook application, and I still do not. One of my friends, whose still in high school, mentioned the computer science teacher gave extra credit to any students that created a Facebook application. From my knowledge, none created one, but knowing that was what sparked interest […]
I don’t know if it is still Ajax if there is no XML involved. I used PHP to
parse the CSV data from Yahoo Finance and exported it into JSON. My server did
not support the json_decode and json_encode functions so I had to manually parse it
[…]
I have heard a lot about PHP Pear or PHP Extension and Application Repository. I never really had to use it but heck, I tried Ruby on Rails and it was pretty cool–why not try Pear. The repositories that I downloaded were Mail and MDB2. Mail was pretty straight forward–I liked how clean declaring the […]
This blog uses Dasblog, an ASP.NET C# blogging software, but I have two other blogs and those uses Wordpress. One of the things that really started to irritate me was the fact that I was getting literally hundreds of
automated spam comments. The bulk spam or bulk delete helps but it is still
labor intensive process, especially […]
I pay roughly half that price for roughly a tenth of that
speed at my datacenter and this is the cheapest datacenter in the
Los Angeles
region. I thought I was getting a really good deal because other places charge
like $50 for a 1 Mbit commit. Today I ran across some articles about CTEL, […]

Yan Huang [me] used to be always skeptical about how “good” those offers really can be but today he has a special one. It was a Kingston 2GB DataTraveler USB 2.0 Flash Drive for $16.95 + Free shipping, but […]
It’s been at least four years since I’ve used IRC. I saw everyone at Sudjam uses it so I downloaded mIRC and had Kiet connect to the office IRC…I forgot most of the even basic commands like /j to join and how to change the font and background colors–had to relearn it all. mIRC has […]
Yan Huang (me) went to the LA Web Developers Meetup and
this time it was located in the Microsoft Conference Room on the 33rd
floor in the Wells Fargo skyscraper in downtown LA. The presenters gave
a lot of information–even a bit more than I was […]
Opera trademarked a new innovation that they have.
It is the Opera Speed Dial TM and their slogan for this new innovation is “the fastest
made faster,” which is accurate, however, the Opera Web Browser (download
here) does lack many abilities that Internet Explorer and Firefox supports. When
you use Ctrl + t on your keyboard or if you […]
