chop vs rtrim in php

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Tidying up a string breaks the pattern. Maybe my analysis was a little premature.

chop vs rtrim
chop: 4.73731994629 seconds
rtrim: 4.41647195816 seconds
Time saved: 0.320847988129 seconds; 7.26480301852%

rtrim is a little faster and these functions take longer at a little over 4 microseconds.

Search engine optimization: Building Optimized Pages

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Search engine optimization is a general term that describes the specific techniques that can be used on websites in order for them to acheive a desireable ranking with search engines. This is done in a variety of ways that include careful usage of keywords and the utilization of tags that search engines read and add to their database.

Basic optimization may help ensure that your site is accessible on search engines so that it does not get lost in the invisible web. With proper SEO techniques, you can get a little bit of traffic (or a lot for lessor competitive terms).

Advanced optimization involves in-depth research into aspects such as site structure and page design (on-site features) as well as link popularity and linking methodology (off-site features).

By determining a site’s popularity, sizing up the amount of competition, and deciding which keywords can be best supported with quality content; search engine optimization can guarentee that a site reaches its full potential.

Firefox:One-Click Bookmarking

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Manage your bookmarks a lot or a little. One click on the star icon at the end of the location bar bookmarks a site. Two clicks and you can choose where to save it and whether to tag it. File bookmarked sites in easy-to-access folders and organize according to theme (like “job search” or “favorite shopping”). Find your bookmarked sites in a flash by entering the tag, page or bookmark name into the location bar. The more you use your tags and bookmark names in the location bar, the more the system will adapt to your preferences.
