Why I have not been working on JobMarket.

I have not been working on JobMarket, as I have the following problem: I know what I want to do, but I do not know how to program it! See, I want to show a brief summary of the job offering or resume, and link to the full one from the summary. Unfortunately, I do not know how to program this in HTML and PHP.
I guess I could program the registration and log-in, but right now, it would not be of much use to anyone. If you can help me program this, please consider contacting me!

Decrypt this encoded message if you can!

I’m throwing out a challenge to everyone out there for anyone to try and decode the message I have encrypted with the crypto-system I have came up with. The encoded message is as follows:

ADBEABDIAIAFAGCBBGDICDACAHAACEDIBCAHCADIBFAFCFAIBADIAHCCABACDIADBEABDIBGBICIAEDIBBAHBD

Good luck trying to decrypt it! Post a reply or contact me if you think you have solved it! I won’t even try to guess at how secure this is, or long it will take for someone to solve it!

I could use some help coding JobMarket.

I believe I could use some help coding JobMarket. Not just because this is my first big project, but also because I don’t know PHP and MySQL that well myself. I want to make it so that both job offers and resumes (on their respective page) are just summaries that lead to the full details. But I have absolutely no clue how to code this. I may be interested enough (if the programmer is Canadian) to offer them a share of Joffee Publishing Inc. and a spot on the company’s board of directors. It would be good to have a partner who had skills where I do not have much right now.

If you are interested in helping me code (and maybe run) JobMarket, please contact me via the contact form.

Just a quick update about JobMarket

Just a quick update about JobMarket:

I have decided to terminate the SourceForge.net project because I want to learn PHP and MySQL while doing it. If people do the coding instead of me, I may not learn as much as I possibly could.

I’m working on JobMarket, when I’m not enjoying DVDs.

I am working on JobMarket, when I am not enjoying a DVD. So far, I have managed to edit the theme enough so that the date and greeting are even with the new banner created by Sean C Graphics. I have also created a project on SourceForge.net, but it has not yet been approved. If you want to help me code it, please consider joining it. There will be a link posted here and at JobMarket when the project has been approved.

I also added a contact page at JobMarket, so that users and browsers of the site, can contact Joffee Publishing Inc, who runs the site. The next step is to code the registration, login, and resume/job posting pages.

I’m once again working on CrawlCache.

I am back working on the programming of CrawlCache. I am currently working on the spider that will grab info from sites and place it into the database, ready for searching. I’m using the cURL class to parse the pages, and I now have to figure out how to grab the data the search engine needs.

The rest of my time has been spent relaxing, and maybe later I’ll play a game on my computer. I sure can’t wait until I move into town, because then my laptop will be online all the time so it’ll be able to submit the F@H data whenever it is done the work, instead of only when I have a chance to connect in town.

I found the classes I need for the CrawlCache site.

Today, I went and found the classes I need for some of the major coding of CrawlCache’s website. The classes I found I needed for the spider and for when people buy advertising credits via PayPal. It should help reduce the amount of time I have to take in order to code the pages and scripts I need.

I may go grab an AJAX script, so that when people click the login link, a box will appear, asking for their username and password. At first, I’ll only let administrators to register, but when the site is ready for customers, I’ll let anyone register by adding a link to a registration page. Who knows maybe in the future I’ll add forums and other stuff that use membership (arcades come to my mind as well ).

Maybe down the future, I will make this script available for purchase through Joffee Publishing Inc.’s store. It won’t go cheap, though! I will have put too much effort into it for that!

Some more work done on CrawlCache.

Well, I got done another bit today of CrawlCache’s site. Today, I added some navigation and a page (and a script) to add sites to a list to be crawled on the database. It was fun to learn, and fun to do. If you want to get a head start, why not add your site today to the list?

I’m still reading my books (I still haven’t finished that series I started yesterday!), and when I have time, I rest or play a game. My favorite is still Making History 2, but I may install Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, so that I will have plenty of experience before I either move into town and get DSL or get satellite.

I’m hoping that by doing CrawlCache one piece at a time I won’t get bored or tired of it quickly. Next on my list of stuff to code is the spider, followed by the search engine, followed by the administration area, and then the area where people can buy advertisements, and finally the registration page.

I started work on CrawlCache’s site today.

I started work today on CrawlCache’s website, when it hit me: I don’t know much (if any) PHP. So I just decided to update the boring coming soon page to something more spiffy. Here’s what it looks like after today’s work: Continue reading I started work on CrawlCache’s site today….

I’m gonna code CrawlCache, but I need some advice first.

Tomorrow, I’m going to start coding CrawlCache, but I need some advice before I can do this. If you can answer any of the questions that follow, please answer via comment. (Be sure to register if you want to post a comment though.)

First, I need some advice regarding how many keywords I should get the spider to grab from each website. Is there a certain number I should grab? If not, what is the number I should code in?

Second, what is the best method to secure the administration and user areas?

Third, how should I sort the results? If via some sort of page ranking system, what system should I use? If via algorithm, which one should I use and how should I implement it?

Finally, how should I charge for advertising? Should I charge via credits with more credits for more popular keywords, or some other method?

Thanks for your answers in advance. CrawlCache will be more user-friendly because of your input!
