Scraping Data Because Its There

Thursday 1 January 2009

Scraping data is not a set and forget process. Unfortunatly, your sources change things about their site every now and then which means your scraping tools need a tweak now and then.

Luckily, its a piece of piss to do. With a few PHP basics under your belt, adjusting, editing and even writing scraper scripts is not too challenging.

Over time, this blog will be my notebook, code depot and place to let of some steam (bennet!)

My name is Dork. Full name, Dork Hairyarse Mingebreath.

My parents have a sense of humour and very open minds.

I play around with websites, tinker with PHP and generally hover around the edges.

If any of that shit amuses you, then add this site to your reader and enjoy whats to come.

Be sure to have your say in the comments too.
