I haven't used Spidermon yet, but Scrapinghub has a Scrapy plugin called Splash which can be used to render JS pages within a Scrapy spider.

I'm pretty sure Excel can do all of this. I think if all of the data has already been ported to Excel, it would be much easier to figure out how to make Excel do what you want than to port the data to something else and learning someth

I've used Toggl ( http://www.toggl.com/ ) and Harvest ( http://www.getharvest.com/ ). I like them both, though they are not local apps. But, you can use them on any of the multiple machines you use.

I agree that it seems valid. I also think that Google would most definitely use that data if they had it. Google used to show live twitter results in their SERPs; but stopped when Twitter took that data away if I remember correctly.

I work with ellyagg and I can confirm that he did in fact gain 25 lbs in a month using GOMAD, CrossFit and some additional strength work at the gym. In the same time, I lost about 23 lbs with a diet of few carbs and no processed food, and d

Yes, which is what we thought too. But, you can setup a "custom search engine" with some default site (we used www.google.com), then change the settings to that it uses the entire web, and remove the site that you originally put in. The Bin

Google has told me (and other users of the now deprecated AJAX Search API) to switch to their paid Custom Search API. The new API is missing some features that were in the old API, which is unfortunate. And, also unfortunate, the most accur

I don't know of a library, but I have seen some sites that offer software to do it. I'd try http://mouseflow.com/ . I haven't used it yet, but it looks cool. I used http://www.crazyegg.com/ on a project a couple of years ago and it got t

Yes, you can change the amount with ARB -- once you have the subscription id, you can change pretty much anything about that subscription.

In my experience, Titles do matter. Titles matter not only as a main "ranking factor", but also because the Title is most often the link from the search engine result to the webpage. Having keywords in there means that those keywords will

You can try reddit -- not the main reddit, but a technical subreddit will usually get you some constructive feedback. For example, if I wrote an app in Python, I could post to the python subreddit to get some better feedback than any of the

I also love Fantasy Football. We play in a rookie keeper league where you can carry over rookie players that you draft into the next year. Looking into those rookies does take some time, partly because these are people you get to keep for t

My favorite words for stumping everybody are: lynx and eczema. I thought for sure that 'lynx' would get on that list since there is only a "sometimes" vowel and an 'x' in there.

Other services I've seen that seem to not fall into that "smaller players" category: Coremetrics, Webtrends, Unica, OneStat, and Clicky. I've worked with all of these (and some smaller players too), and I must say that for the value, you re

It is there because Google outlined it in a Patent: http://bit.ly/akczok -- see [0099] I honestly think that they do not really use this signal though, and if they do, it's so far down in their algorithm that most searches will never use

It depends on the site and the terms people are searching for. Inbound Links can make a site rank highly for some searches, even when the entire page content is Flash and has no other content on it. But, to rank for all the terms you want,

I've used Ubuntu for about 3 years, and use Firefox/Firebug, Emacs plus the emacs-goodies package. While emacs is a bit long to learn, I find that it's incredibly efficient. I also use Apache, nginx, Python/Django, PHP, and MySql to do loca

I know a couple of doctors who have said that people come in saying "I have X, I need Y".. they called it "Googleitis". There are some times when they are right, but many times that they are wrong. I agree that the tests should still be per

My uncle did something similar in 2008 -- he rode his bike across the world; flying over the oceans, obviously. His local paper did a story on it: http://www.modbee.com/2008/10/21/v-print/469931/west-side-ma...
