I dont know how many of you have seen this video, but I thought it worthwhile to share, just in case you hadn't.

Based on the book "Imagining the tenth dimension", by Rob Bryanton, you are taken through the first chapter of the book where the concepts of the 10 dimensions are explained in a fairly easy to follow and entertaining fashion.

Amazing. The things some people have the time and mental capacity to think about - Nevermind the mathematical ingenuity! Awesome video, just watch it! You'll feel way smarter (or way dumber) once you're done.

Simple Link Tracking with PHP - Part I

July 10th, 2007 Posted by digifuzz

This little tutorial will teach you how to create a simple out-going link tracker in PHP.

One of our clients had a rotating-advertisement script we had set him up with, and they decided they wanted to count the number of times each ad was clicked. Easy enough to do, but why just count clicks? There’s so much more information that would be beneficial to capture. Where was the user when the clicked on the ad? When? What browser were they using? In response to their request, I whipped up this little script. This script can be inserted just about anywhere you need to track out-going links.
