I did make something in PHP one time, it would download this index page so it could find the correct sub pages (it was possible for this list to change over time actually), and download each page to generate a bunch of TXT files with some data from those sub pages' tables. I had a limit of like 2 seconds between each h... |
I meant to do more with it, but never found the time (and when I had no reason to use the files myself, I had no reason to update it to work with the site's redesign, as I noticed no one else was using it but me) |
Febreze (and other air fresheners actually) is just below perfumes/colognes, and that's just below dead skunks in terms of smells that offend my nose. | +Me |
Windows 8 is a toned, stylish, polished professional athlete. But it’s wearing clown makeup, and that creates a serious image problem. ~PCWorld Article |

I'd say that "interesting" is extremely advanced. Keep in mind the search engines we have today have been in the works for decades. They didn't get that advanced overnight, or with a single man crew. |
Some simple things your crawler would need: |
• Ability to make an HTTP request to a server and receive the response. |
• Ability to parse the [X]HTML response to find the links within it. |
• A database to keep track of where you've been and when so you don't go in circles. |
• Within the database index what you can about where you've been. This is where it starts to get complicated. I suggest keep it simple for the purposes of this project. Once you have it working small you can expand on it if you're still interested, but nothing fancy is necessary for a proof of concept. |
Those are some pretty basic goals to get started with. Don't try to roll your own because each of these can easily take weeks to do 100% fully. If you can find libraries to do it for you then you'll save a lot of time. It's not that you couldn't write it all yourself. It's that there's no real value in doing it again s... |
There are various standard files that you should research too so that you obey them, such as /robot.txt which I believe describes to crawlers what resources are encouraged to index and which resources should remain secret (or if crawling is frowned upon in general). |
You'll also probably want to narrow the scope of how far your crawler goes while you work out the bugs and figure out the netiquette rules. You won't want somebody the size of Google summoning you to court (albeit, I don't think Google would be hurt by your bot, but some smaller fish might be, and they still might be b... |
A language such as Perl or Python would make this much easier. Not only do they have excellent libraries for these kinds of things, but they also have easy access to Unicode strings and databases and the like. Whereas if you attempt to do this in C or C++ you'll probably have to write 10x or 100x more code for the same... |

How about giving links that are more unlike the current page a prio.. |
that would reduce the workload to a single server .. |
I already have a working skeleton code in C# |
1using System; 2using System.Collections.Generic; 3using System.Linq; 4using System.Text; 5using System.Text.RegularExpressions; 6using System.IO; 7using System.Net; 8 9namespace Crawler1 10{ 11 class Program 12 { 13 static List<string> history = new List<string>(); 14 static List<string> urllist = new List<string>(); ... |
It works, but I can see some bugs right now.. |
I was tired yesterday evening.. but still it works ( sort of) |

Title: Measuring biological light pollution and uncovering its ecological effects |
Abstract: Measuring biological light pollution and uncovering its ecological effects Life on earth has evolved under predictable daily and seasonal cycles of light and darkness. The rapid spread of outdoor electric lighting across the globe over the past century has caused an unprecedented disruption to these natural l... |

Abstract: Using historical satellite images I will report on the growth in light at night from the whole island from pre- to post-Celtic Tiger and compare my results with changes in population and GDP, as well as the Republic's output relative to that of Northern Ireland. I will also report on ground-based measurements... |

Title: The Dark Side of Light-at-Night |
Abstract: Light has profound influences on multiple aspects of human physiology and behaviour. A key mechanism through which light exerts such effects is via modulation of the circadian timing system. This is an intrinsic biological timekeeping network that serves to impose a near twenty four hour temporal architecture... |
Until late into the 19th century, the presence or absence of environmental light was predominantly determined by the solar cycle. However, with the advent of electrical lighting, such environmental illumination is possible on a twenty four hour basis. This has the consequence that the circadian system may be consistent... |

Emma Holly asks: Am I a CosmoChick? |
Am I a CosmoChick? I guess I am, because I belong to a group calling itself the CosmoChix, but that suggests someone cool to me and, to tell you the truth, cool is one thing I've never been. Oh, maybe now and then I manage what I call The Cool of the Uncool--you know, the dweebs from high school that none of the popula... |
That kind of cool I occasionally feel sweep over me. |
The other CosmoChix, by contrast, seem like the real deal to me. Betina Krahn is really cool because she's one of the nicest successful people I know, and also rather gorgeous. Lois Greiman is cool because she can ride horses really fast and also make them do that dressage thing where they dance for you (ditto on the g... |
This leaves me, now obliged to confess that I've never consumed a Cosmopolitan, buy most of my clothes at Target, don't spend endless hours discussing sex with my girlfriends, and have never had hordes of men vying for my affection. (Yes, I know: rats!) |
On the other hand, I am reasonably comfortable with myself, very fortunate in my friends, and extremely fulfilled in my career. Which is, when you think about it, sort of cool.So maybe I am a CosmoChick, after all. |
You're welcome to judge for yourself at our new blog ( where we'll all be chattering about this and that three times a week. Cool or not, you're bound to fit in! |
How Cool R U? |
Encore! Emma Holly's new novel, "All U Can Eat" hits shelves May 2. She'll guestblog for us again to celebrate! |
Encore due! We're All Adults Here Alert: If you choose to explore the content of Emma's site, be prepared for writing, books, and more stuff celebrating women and their expression of sensuality, sexuality, and free speech. Yeah, Baby. |

Well, I think the new cool is to be uncool. Seriously. Some of the people that are cool just seem like a big, ole mess to me. The fact that us "uncool" people feel more secure with our lives, even if we don't wear the latest fashions, or take a page out of "Sexy and the City" just means that we are confident, successfu... |
Oh, btw, I'm more of a Kohl's girl, but the rest fits me to a "t". Long live the unpopular who make up their own rules :) |

Maybe you're right Stacy--maybe uncool is the new cool. |
I like myself, and my kids think I'm cool--but still a mom. I just don't worry about it anymore--that's the beauty of being 47 I'm sure I'm fabulous, except when I'm not. |
Gotta say Emma--I love your writing--Strange Attractions almost did me in. |
Oh and Target IS cool. |

I have NEVER been cool. EVER. Even now as a "grown up" (term used very loosely =) ), I'm still not cool. How many other 29 year old women do you know who drive minivans and it? I think I revel in my uncoolness, much like Stacy said. |
But, everyone I hang out with is kinda like that so I'm very comfortable with them and with myself. And, isn't that what it all comes down to? Being comfortable with yourself? Plus, don't we usually think other people are cooler than we are? |
Emma, I have read your two "Beyond" books and just LOVED them! Finger scorching good! |
And, finally Tarjay is the BEST!! |
Valeen said... |
Am I cool? Oh, Lord, no. Never was. Wanted to be of course, part of that in crowd who looked like they had so much fun (even if it was just making fun of the rest of us). I think it has more to do with the fact that I don't have the ability to get along very well with people, I'm too opinionated, more so than my smarty... |
As a child, and all the way through college, it bothered me. But not so much anymore (although I'm still just 25) even though I've often wondered what it would be like to have this big group of friends. |
I have to agree, Strange Attractions almost did me in as well. And I've since gotten two other friends to read it. |
Eve Silver said... |
I am definitely not cool. Wasn't cool in grade school or high school or university... or ever. I have the fashion sense of a gnat. Even my kids cringe at my clothing choices, LOL! |
Amy'skf - it's actually cool that your kids think you're cool. Mine thought that about me, then they hit high school. OY! |
