Blogging, code, marketing and online income.
Some time back I posted some basic code that would enable a message to be posted to Twitter using their oAuth platform. The naked code isn’t overly functional because it was always intended to be used from within another PHP application. This article is for those people that have emailed me asking how the code [...]
In my quest to understand spammers, I’ve recently educated myself on a large number of techniques that they employ to search and extract emails (and other personal details) from various locations. Most disturbing is the prevalence of spammers that use various types of automated bots to pull email addresses from Twitter. This post will demonstrate [...]
In a few projects I’ve worked on recently, I’ve had to resolve short URLs to their destination URL. This post will show you how to: Resolve a single URL one level deep. Resolve a URL in a PHP loop until we reach a page that we deem to be the destination. Resolve multiple links obtained [...]
The Twitter and Facebook style of referencing time since a post was published is becoming increasingly popular.

The other sites will be revived in one way or another but they’ll be built ‘low maintenance’. Apart from the multiple site to manage, there was a large overlap in content that was far [...]
Some time back I set up a number of Twitter accounts that would automate the hourly posting of aviation metars for a small number of airports (examples: @YSSYmetar & @KLAXmetar). I was later inundated with requests from people that wanted accounts set up for their own local airports. It was a little time-prohibitive to set [...]
I’ll be posting shortcode from time-to-time that will accomplish some measure of functionality in your blog. If you haven’t already, it may be worth reading a brief introductory post to shortcode before continuing. Publish the number of posts on your blog in a dynamic way I’m not sure why you would want to post the [...]
