Happy Birthday to Fazer! Yay! Anyways, I got myself a birthday present since no one else gave me shit. It's a book on "Advanced PHP Programming". It's indeed a kick-ass book. More information can be found here.

Bye.

Internship!

Which is cool I guess.

Blog Update : If you have been paying close attention to my blog, you would've noticed there haven't been any updates lately. As a result, I decided to finally make one. Nothing much has changed, except since my last blog, I got another and better internship (make that way better) than my previous one. I have the same type job working as a Jr. PHP/MySQL Developer for an Internet advertising company known as AzoogleAds . Although the only thing which sucks about my job is the long commute.

Geocoding Addresses with Ruby and Google Maps : One of my new found interests has to be Ruby. A neat language that borrows ideas both from Perl and Python (one of my favourite languages). As a result, I decided to hack out a little script that takes an argumet from the command line as an address and spits out the latitude and longitude. This is done by sending the query to Google Maps url which then returns an XML embedded in Javascript ( I don't know why Google does this). You can then parse out the points within the XML. The accuracy from my experience is also very decent. Anyways, enough talk. Here's the link to the code. Code Example: fazer@laptop$ ruby latlong.rb '140 allstate parkway markham on' 43.855359 -79.368847
