today i recieved this email from Odesk Customer Support :
“Hi %$%$,
The last few days have seen Pakistan hit by severe storms and floods, which may have directly affected you or your family. Please know that we are sending our best thoughts and well wishes to you during this difficult time.

We wanted to let you know that we have sent an email to your employers advising them of the situation in Pakistan and asking them to be patient as the flooding may have impacted your ability to work. Please do contact them as soon as possible to discuss your oDesk contracts - they may be concerned and would like to hear from you.”

once again thanks alot Odesk for your best wishes and concerns .

Stock ticker bar script for Joomla / Wordpress

Zain Nadeem — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:22:54 +0000

few days back i coded a small script to show stock ups and downs ticker , script fetches data from yahoo finance and scrolls the ticker , you can use this script on on Joomla (tested on joomla 1.5) and all versions of wordpress .

How to use the script

function getStockSite($stockLink){

if ($fp = fopen($stockLink, ‘r’)) {
$content = ”;

while ($line = fread($fp, 1024)) {
$content .= $line;
}
}

return $content;
}

function processStockSite($wurl){

$wrss = getStockSite($wurl);
$name = ‘-’;
$price = ”;
$diff = ”;

if (strlen($wrss)>100){
$spos = 0;

// Get text
$spos = strpos($wrss,’:’,$spos)+3;
$spos = strpos($wrss,’’,$spos);
$epos = strpos($wrss,’
’,$spos);
if ($epos>$spos){
$text = substr($wrss,$spos,$epos-$spos);
} else {
$text = ‘-’;
}

$spos = $epos + 10;
// Get company name
$epos = strpos($wrss,’<’,$spos);
if ($epos>$spos){
$name = substr($wrss,$spos,$epos-$spos);
}
// Get actual price
$spos = strpos($wrss,’yfs_l10′)+strlen(’yfs_l10′);
$spos = strpos($wrss,’>’,$spos)+1;
$epos = strpos($wrss,’<’,$spos);
if ($epos>$spos){
$price = substr($wrss,$spos,$epos-$spos);
} else {
$price = ‘-’;
}

// Get direction
$spos = strpos($wrss,’alt’,$epos)+strlen(’alt’)+2;
$epos = strpos($wrss,’”‘,$spos);
if ($epos>$spos){
$dir = strtolower(substr($wrss,$spos,$epos-$spos));
}

// Get difference
$spos = strpos($wrss,’>’,$epos+3)+1;
$epos = strpos($wrss,’<’,$spos);
if ($epos>$spos){
$diff = substr($wrss,$spos,$epos-$spos);
}

}

$result['name'] = $name;
$result['value'] = $price;
$result['diff'] = $diff;
$result['direction'] = $dir;
$result['text'] = $text;

return $result;

}

?>
// Get stock data
//$data = processStockSite(’ttp://finance.yahoo.com’); // Google
$data = processStockSite(’http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GOOG’); // Google
?>

$
echo $data['text'];
//echo $data['value'].’ ‘;
//if ($data['direction'] == ‘up’) echo ‘ +’.$data['diff'].’’;
//else echo ‘ -’.$data['diff'].’’; ?>

$data = processStockSite(’http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MSFT’); // Microsoft
?>$
echo $data['text'];
//echo $data['value'].’ ‘;
//if ($data['direction'] == ‘up’) echo ‘ +’.$data['diff'].’’;
//else echo ‘ -’.$data['diff'].’’; ?>
$data = processStockSite(’http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AAPL’); // Apple
echo $data['name'];
echo $data['text'];
$data = processStockSite(’http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GE’); // GE
echo $data['name'];
echo $data['text'];
$data = processStockSite(’http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=BELFA’);//Bel Fuse Inc
echo $data['name'];

webthosting Review , Worst host ever !

Zain Nadeem — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 01:05:01 +0000

i signed up with webthosting for their cpanel shared web hosting package , outlook of their website looks impressive but its all useless , i signed up for account and i got cpanel access instantly i was happy with their services for first 2-3 days , on 4th day i received down time notice email ,

it was 2-3 hours down time , i thought its all cool no worries , but few days later they sent me same email and this time down time lasted for few days , i wasnt able to login to my cpanel too during this time . i have been playing with many web hosts some are over selling but i think none of them have such irritating down time periods . every week they have to warn about some errors / malfunctions / hacks attempts etc etc …
so if you are looking for a good web hosting my sincere advice is “please Stay Away From WebThosting ”

some major reasons to stay away from webthosting :
1.no live technical support
2.new company , no good history
3.irritating downtimes every day
4.unsafe / risky servers
5.they offer ffmpeg but its limited to less than 100 second upload limit like if you want to upload a big video which will take more than 100 seconds to upload ,then ffmpeg on webthosting will disallow that .
6.non-friendly support
7.cpanel panel login url gets changed every week

if you have more to say about webthosting please do share your thoughts in comment section .

Moneybookers for Germany

Zain Nadeem — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 12:47:23 +0000

Moneybookers is best payment gateway to send /recieve money online and for shopping online in germany . its much better and cheaper than paypal , currency exchanges are almost free . many popular websites like ebay , istockphoto etc now accept moneybookers . beside that moneybookers is global unlike paypal which is available only in few countries .
best thing about moneybookers is that if you withdraw $100 from your account to your bank account you will exactly recieve $100 in your bank . they dont have any additional annoying fees .

According to cnet google is launching a Music service to take on iTunes , another source recently reported that google gave a short glimpse of its Music service to its users recently .
