Spidering Hacks in Print

Spidering Hacks in Print 12/11/2003 04:55 PM

I just received my editor's copies of Spidering Hacks by Kevin and Tara. Turned out rather well, if I may be so bold. The book covers all things spidering, from methodology to code, tools to ethics; take a gander at the TOC and browse the representativ e hacks online.

It's always nice when a tech book adds to the discussion around the tools it represents and gives something back. Andy Lester, author of WWW::Mechanize and contributor of three hacks to the book adds it to the documentation for his module.

Spidering Hacks 11/01/2003 12:57 PM
The latest book in the O'Reilly Hacks series, "Spidering Hacks," (written by Kevin "Morbus Iff" Hemenway and Tara "ResearchBuzz" Calishain) is out. It's the site-scraper's bible, with 100 tips and tricks for sucking in data from the Web.
Spidering Hacks takes you to the next level in Internet data retrieval--beyond search engines--by showing you how to create spiders and bots to retrieve information from your favorite sites and data sources. You'll no longer feel constrained by the way host sites think you want to see their data presented--you'll learn how to scrape and repurpose raw data so you can view in a way that's meaningful to you.

Written for developers, researchers, technical assistants, librarians, and power users, Spidering Hacks provides expert tips on spidering and scraping methodologies. You'll begin with a crash course in spidering concepts, tools (Perl, LWP, out-of-the-box utilities), and ethics (how to know when you've gone too far: what's acceptable and unacceptable). Next, you'll collect media files and data from databases. Then you'll learn how to interpret and understand the data, repurpose it for use in other applications, and even build authorized interfaces to integrate the data into your own content.

Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools by Tara Calishain & Rael
Dornfest

The Internet puts a wealth of information at your fingertips, and all you have to know is how to find it. Google is your ultimate research tool--a search engine that indexes more than 2.4 billion web pages, in more than 30 languages, conducting more than 150 million searches a day. The more you know about Google, the better you are at pulling data off the Web. You've got a cadre of techniques up your sleeve--tricks you've learned from practice, from exchanging ideas with others, and from plain old trial and error--but you're always looking for better ways to search. It's the "hacker" in you: not the troublemaking kind, but the kind who really drives innovation by trying new ways to get things done. If this is you, then you'll find new inspiration (and valuable tools, too) in Google Hacks from O'Reilly's new Hacks Series.

OCLC Hacks


OCLC Hacks 02/01/2005 10:09 PM

OCLC is is loosening up and having some fun in a Google Labs kind of way!

OCLC Research Software Contest

“In celebration of libraries and their heritage of technological innovation, OCLC Research is sponsoring a software contest to encourage innovation in the use of web-based services for libraries.

Prize

  • $2,500 in cash
  • Visit with OCLC Online Computer Library Center Inc., in Dublin, Ohio
  • Potentially have your code incorporated in OCLC services for libraries

The challenge

OCLC is providing a set of bi bliographic records extracted from WorldCat plus a set of services:

You may also use Open WorldCat, either by simply incorporating links to publicly accessible records or by enrolling in Open WorldCat's Partner Access program. Contact us if you wish to discuss enrolling in this program for the purposes of this contest.

Your mission is to write a program that does something interesting and innovative with the WorldCat data using at least one of the OCLC-provided services. You must submit a working prototype.

Part of your job is to convince us of why your program is interesting and why it will help libraries and/or library users; other than that, you're free to implement whatever strikes your fancy.”

And they were smart enough to ask Jon Udell to be a judge – good call! I hope we see some really cool stuff come out of this, in more than just a proof-of-concept way. Makes me wish I could actually program. Entries are due by midnight on May 15. If you’re entering, good luck!

Mac OS X Panther Hacks


Mac OS X Panther Hacks 08/11/2004 06:15 AM
I finally got round to reading my copy of the wonderful O'Reilly Mac OS X Panther Hacks book, which, like all of the hacks books, is clever, informative, well-organised and useful; this one has the additional merit of having been co-written by my pal Rael Dornfest, who edits the line, and is witty, silly and very imaginative indeed. The hacks assembled in the text range from surprising things you can do with iTunes and iCal to hacking AppleScript to making OS X cooperate with perl and Python, but my favorite of all is the iOscillate: an iSight camera mounted to the top of a de-bladed oscillating desk-fan, so that the fan sweeps the iSight back and forth in a steady, 180-degree arc, covering all those seated around a table or in a conference. The hack is truly worthy of the appellation "hack" -- it's ingenious, funny, and actually useful in a seriously bent way. Link

Google hacks are for real


Google hacks are for real 08/06/2004 09:40 AM
Google hacks are for real, regardless of what some uber-hackers may think or say. They can produce passwords, user IDs, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, bank account numbers and routing codes, and more. They can also be used to troll for vulnerabilities. One quick example: using one of the simplest Google advanced operators in combination with another operator, I quickly found a number of Microsoft IIS 6.0 Authentication Manager pages exposed to the Internet on Army, Navy, state, and federal agency sites. In fact, finding the sites proved to be much easier than alerting them to the vulnerability.

The very aggressive $99 price of their new laser printer is sure to rile tempers in the under-$100 market formerly reserved for inkjets. The computing…
