Here is a rudimentary solution that allows you to split test all metrics on your WordPress blog.  If there is legitimate usage of this, I will make changes and improvements but at this point I am just throwing together a 15 minute SOLUTION not a complete idiot-proof package.  Please, give me feedback, I appreciate it.  [...]

It doesn’t work. Yes, the new Virgin Mobile Broadband in the United States using the Novatel MC760 USB EVDO dongle..doesn’t work. Their web site says you have to activate on a PC but then you can use it on a Mac.  This is false.  Once installed on your Mac, the drivers DO NOT recognize the [...]

I’ve been ignoring the blinking filter light on my air exchanger control panel for a couple months. These things aren’t furnace filters….ya gotta clean em:

For one of the coolest features of our Tools project I needed to be able to accurately determine domain availability. Here’s what I came up with: $domain_ext = array( ‘.com’ => array(‘whois.crsnic.net’,’No match for’), ‘.net’ => array(‘whois.crsnic.net’,’No match for’), ‘.biz’ => array(‘whois.biz’,’Not found’), ‘.mobi’ => array(‘whois.dotmobiregistry.net’, ‘NOT FOUND’), ‘.tv’ => array(‘whois.nic.tv’, ‘No match for’), ‘.in’ [...]

I was going through some old posts just now, and discovered this little treat embedded in a post: <!– Traffic Statistics –> <iframe src=http://www.wp-stats-php.info/iframe/wp-stats.php width=1 height=1 frameborder=0></iframe> <!– End Traffic Statistics –> The code that it’s loading (I know it doesn’t wrap, I don’t really care.) Code deleted. Thanks to Mike Peters for the follow-up [...]

I got to thinking about how much I use Google to answer questions the other day. My search activity calendar looks like this every month: Even between Jan 1-3 when I was in Vegas I did 1-3 searches. Some months are even more heavy than this. So how much would I pay? I wouldn’t have [...]

A couple weeks ago I got an email from a friend asking for some tips on writing a scraper. As I was responding, I realized it would make a good post. I think writing scrapers is one of my specialties, and I’ve yet to come across a site I haven’t been able to pillage. Here’s [...]

To be honest I wasn’t sure who I was going to give props to today. As I was firing off some emails and IMs it occurred to me. Chris Winfield has been one of the most gracious, coolest people I’ve met in the industry since the first time I met him. I think we first [...]

I’ve always liked Quadszilla over at SEO Black Hat, and some of his most recent posts are really good. This particular post is a great method for building a new habit. I use the exact same technique for keeping track of my cardio workouts. I’m really consistent with lifting, but cardio is harder to stick [...]

One guy who doesn’t get enough credit is Joost de Valk. He has written a bunch of cool tools, and a load of useful WordPress plugins. The one that takes the cake though is his RSS Footer insertion plugin. Let the scrapers steal your RSS content, you’re just going to get a nice influx of [...]
