Free MD5 hash generator online tool
About MD5 hashes/checksums No matter what you call it, either hash or checksum, MD5 is a way to get a smaller representation of a larger string. The idea is to get a unique value that represents the whole. It’s like a UPC of a product for a file. If you generate a hash of a file, then send it to your friend, they will generate the same hash of the file if it has not been altered. If it has been altered in the slightest, the hash will be different. Note that the hash is of the contents of the file. If the name changes, then the...
read moreTop 15 Farmville Crops for Experience
I still don’t see much use in Farmville for experience or levels. However, I understand that some people just like to brag about how high a level they have. There are a few ways you can compete with your friends, and if you have the highest level of your friends, they’ll be more likely to come help you on your farm since you’ll always be on the first page of their friends at the bottom when they want to visit neighbors. I have a complete list of Farmville seed cost ratios in another post. This is just the top 15 that are...
read moreTop 10 Farmville Crops for Profit
I used to think that there really wasn’t much use for the currency in Farmville. I had more than enough to buy any of the decorations I wanted, and the only really expensive thing in the market was the villa. I had a friend that used to buy windmills to get the experience whenever he had too much money. Nowadays that has all changed. There are alot more things you can spend money on. There are alot more decorations, the expansions to the farm are very expensive, and you can buy goods from your friends to give you gas for your vehicles....
read moreFarmville Greenhouse Seed Cost / Experience Ratios
Greenhouse seeds in Farmville work a little differently than normal seeds. You first have to “create” the seeds in your greenhouse by mixing seeds you purchase of other crops. You mix 2 crops, then wait 3 days, and the result is 50 seeds of your greenhouse crop. This extra steps means that the seeds give you more profit and more experience, but it also means that have a limited supply of the seeds. You can’t power farm these crops. Personally I haven’t even mastered any of them yet. I always forget to harvest my...
read moreFarmville Complete Seed Cost / Experience Ratios
Most of the Farmville seeds provide about the same ratio of experience and profit per hour, but there are some seeds that are better depending what you’re trying to accomplish. Are you trying to level faster or get coins for that new villa you’ve been eyeing up in the market? Below is a complete list alphabetically of all the seeds of the different areas except for Hawaii since Farmville Hawaii uses coconuts as currency as well. Those values can be found here: . I also extracted the greenhouse seeds and a top 10 list for each...
read moreFree Google +1 Counter for Entire Domain
Purpose of the Google +1 counter Last week, a member of the SEOMoz community asked whether there was a tool to count up all the Google +1′s across an entire domain. There didn’t seem to be an available tool, so I put together a way to do this by putting a list of URL’s into a text box, then having all the URLs checked for plus ones. That tool can be found at Google +1 counter for list of URLs. Now I’ve taken that tool a step further with this tool that will actually crawl your site from the top level domain homepage...
read moreGoogle +1 counter for list of URLs
It was recently pointed out that there doesn’t seem to be a tool around to gather a total for all the Google +1′s on a domain. There are tools to do individual lookups. Open Site Explorer will do this, and they’ll do the top 25 pages of a domain, but there’s nothing for all the little pages that may have gotten recommended. Therefore, I created this free tool to find the Google +1′s for a list of URLs. Simply past a list of URLs, including http://, into the bottom text area and click find. The result will be...
read moreFarmville Hawaii Seed Cost Ratio
With the release of Farmville’s newest area Hawaii, I thought I’d update my seed charts with the new values. Hawaii is the first area to use a different currency. Now instead of buying things with coins, you have to earn coconuts through harvests. Some things still use coins, like the tiki-bar upgrade or buying some buildings from the market. Now the interesting thing is that you actually get coins and coconuts from harvesting in Hawaii, even though the use for coins is so small. I’ll do a separate review of each location in...
read moreParse a CSV file line in PHP
PHP has great string manipulation tools for importing files like fgets() to get a single line or file() to dump the lines into an array right at import. Explode is a great function when you start dealing with the contents of the file. However, if you’re bringing in a standardized file, like a CSV, there are some issues with explode. For instance, a comma may be in a string in the middle of the field, so you can’t break it apart on commas. You could try to split the CSV line on the double quotes, but if the field is an integer,...
read moreAbout Google Locations and Searching
Google is always trying to make searching better. It sometimes boggles my mind how it seems to know exactly what I’m looking for when I type something in. Sometimes I’ll have this feeling as if there’s no way that the site I’m looking for will come up with the terms I put in, but somehow, it’s right up at the top of the list. For instance, if I type in “tacos” Google will show me local Mexican restaurants as well as taco recipes. So how does it know where I am in order to show me local results? If...
