<blockquote><p><strong>No more support for IE 6/7/8:</strong> Remember that this can also affect IE9 and even IE10 if they are used in their “Compatibility View” modes that emulate older versions. To prevent these newer IE versions from slipping back into prehistoric modes, we suggest you always use an X-UA-Compatible tag or HTTP header. If you can use the HTTP header it is slightly better for performance because it avoids a potential browser parser restart.</p></blockquote>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a great short clip on the tactics for being a creative thinker. Enjoy!</p>
<ul>
<li>Space (“You can’t become playful, and therefore creative, if you’re under your usual pressures.”)</li>
<li>Time (“It’s not enough to create space; you have to create your space for a specific period of time.”)</li>
<li>Time (“Giving your mind as long as possible to come up with something original,” and learning to tolerate the discomfort of pondering time and indecision.)</li>
<li>Confidence (“Nothing will stop you being creative so effectively as the fear of making a mistake.”)</li>
<li>Humor (“The main evolutionary significance of humor is that it gets us from the closed mode to the open mode quicker than anything else.”)</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent client asked me to find a way to compare the popularity of different articles streaming in via multiple RSS feeds. Since RSS feeds don&#8217;t have that kind of information I created this quick demo of a PHP scrapper for Google search queries. The script takes the search terms you wish to use, in our case the title of the news article, cleans it up, assembles it into an URI Google can process, scrapes the results page and then finally uses a bit of regex to strip out the total # of search results. The idea is to then take these results, save them for each RSS entry, compare their values against each other and sort the array from &#8216;most popular&#8217;(ie, most hits) to least. Its just a quick proof of concept demo, but it might come in handy for someone else to extend. Cheers.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I gave Prestashop a try, and found it buggy. I gave Magento a try and was instantly seduced by its polish and sophistication, however its Sssssllloooowwwww and an absolute nightmare to modify. Magento&#8217;s file structure is all over the place and simple things are never so simple to implement. Enter OpenCart, user friendly, developer friendly. Give a try, I was pleasantly pleased. What would had taken me 2 days to do in Magento I accomplished in 2 hours with <a href="http://www.opencart.com/">OpenCart</a>. Need a custom theme? I am for hire. Need a free installation of OpenCart? Send me an email and i would be glad to accommodate a fellow entrepreneur.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Article explains in detail how the algorythm goes about making sense of the VAST and unorganized World Wide Web &#8211; http://www.ams.org/samplings/feature-column/fcarc-pagerank</p>
<p>Here is an exerpt:</p>
<h3><span style="color: #993300;">How to tell who&#8217;s important</span></h3>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever created a web page, you&#8217;ve probably included links to other pages that contain valuable, reliable information. By doing so, you are affirming the importance of the pages you link to. Google&#8217;s PageRank algorithm stages a monthly popularity contest among all pages on the web to decide which pages are most important. The fundamental idea put forth by PageRank&#8217;s creators, Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page, is this: the importance of a page is judged by the number of pages linking to it as well as their importance.</p>
<p>We will assign to each web page <em>P</em> a measure of its importance <em>I(P)</em>, called the page&#8217;s PageRank. At various sites, you may find an<a href="http://www.checkpagerank.com/" target="_blank">approximation of a page&#8217;s PageRank.</a> (For instance, the home page of The American Mathematical Society currently has a PageRank of 8 on a scale of 10. Can you find any pages with a PageRank of 10?) This reported value is only an approximation since Google declines to publish actual PageRanks in an effort to frustrate those would manipulate the rankings.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how the PageRank is determined. Suppose that page <em>P<sub>j</sub></em> has <em>l<sub>j</sub></em> links. If one of those links is to page <em>P<sub>i</sub></em>, then <em>P<sub>j</sub></em> will pass on 1/<em>l<sub>j</sub></em>of its importance to <em>P<sub>i</sub></em>. The importance ranking of <em>P<sub>i</sub></em> is then the sum of all the contributions made by pages linking to it. That is, if we denote the set of pages linking to <em>P<sub>i</sub></em> by <em>B<sub>i</sub></em>, then</p>
<p><img style="background: white;" src="http://www.ams.org/featurecolumn/images/december2006/index_1.gif" alt="[  I(P_i)=sum_{P_jin B_i} frac{I(P_j)}{l_j}  ] " align="absmiddle" /></p>
<p>This may remind you of the chicken and the egg: to determine the importance of a page, we first need to know the importance of all the pages linking to it. However, we may recast the problem into one that is more mathematically familiar.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s first create a matrix, called the hyperlink matrix, <img style="background: white;"  src="http://www.ams.org/featurecolumn/images/december2006/index_2.gif" alt="$ {bf H}=[H_{ij}] $ " align="absmiddle" /> in which the entry in the <em>i<sup>th</sup></em> row and <em>j<sup>th</sup></em> column is</p>
<p><img style="background: white;" src="http://www.ams.org/featurecolumn/images/december2006/index_3.gif" alt="[  H_{ij}=left{begin{array}{ll}1/l_{j} &amp;  	hbox{if } P_jin B_i \ 	0 &amp; hbox{otherwise} 	end{array}right.  ] " align="absmiddle" /></p>
<p>Notice that <strong>H</strong> has some special properties. First, its entries are all nonnegative. Also, the sum of the entries in a column is one unless the page corresponding to that column has no links. Matrices in which all the entries are nonnegative and the sum of the entries in every column is one are called <em>stochastic</em>; they will play an important role in our story.</p>
<p>We will also form a vector <img style="background: white;" src="http://www.ams.org/featurecolumn/images/december2006/index_4.gif" alt="$ I=[I(P_i)] $ " align="absmiddle" /> whose components are PageRanks&#8211;that is, the importance rankings&#8211;of all the pages. The condition above defining the PageRank may be expressed as</p>
<p><img style="background: white;" src="http://www.ams.org/featurecolumn/images/december2006/index_5.gif" alt="[  I = {bf H}I  ] " align="absmiddle" /></p>
<p>In other words, the vector <em>I</em> is an eigenvector of the matrix <strong>H</strong> with eigenvalue 1. We also call this a <em>stationary vector</em> of <strong>H</strong>.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at an example. Shown below is a representation of a small collection (eight) of web pages with links represented by arrows.</p>
<p><img style="background: white;" src="http://www.ams.org/featurecolumn/images/december2006/goodnet.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The corresponding matrix is</p>
<table cellpadding="20">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="center"><img src="http://www.ams.org/featurecolumn/images/december2006/matrix.0.gif" alt="" /></td>
<td valign="center">with stationary vector</td>
<td valign="center"><img src="http://www.ams.org/featurecolumn/images/december2006/eigenvector.0.gif" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>This shows that page 8 wins the popularity contest. Here is the same figure with the web pages shaded in such a way that the pages with higher PageRanks are lighter.</p>
<p><img style="background: white;" src="http://www.ams.org/featurecolumn/images/december2006/goodnet.shaded.jpg" alt="" /></p>
