百度是流氓，不可争议，很多非IT行业的朋友向我咨询，想找百度做排名推广，我都给制止了，那简直是拿钱打水漂，往无底洞里面扔。
我朋友的公司，刚成立不到一个月，平均每周接到三四个来自百度公司不同销售人员的电话，问是否需要做网站推广，这和当你马云的阿里巴巴骗那些江浙一带中小企业如出一辙。
今天，这两头狗相互咬起来了，而且很猛！一个号称如此如此，这般这般的搜索引擎公司，连最起码的公正性都做不到，还谈什么结果的满意度？
看看下面两张截图。（点击图片看大图）
今天早上，搜索site:taobao.com ，居然只有两个结果

搜索site:sina.com.cn，结果正常

In May of this year, the Dutch PHP Usergroup (phpGG) re-launched after a while of inactivity with a very successful PHP TestFest. After this succesful collaboration with our friends from phpBelgium and having done our first dutch meeting, we're again going to collaborate with phpBelgium to help the community at large: The BugHuntDay is coming!

Jamie Hemmett has a few suggestions for local user groups out there on what to do and not to do to help make their group successful. Some of it was gathered from personal experience, other tips from the recent user group panel discussion from this year's ZendCon.

I just listened to the PHP User group Panel discussion from the Unconference session at ZendCon. While I listened I took some notes to try and help our Irish PHP Users Group be awesome like some of the other groups out there. I reckon the podcast and great tips it contains will help other User Groups out there too (not just PHP).

Some of the observations/comments she men ......

DevShed has start up a new series today with the first part in a four-part series looking at exception handling in PHP5.

If you do any serious programming, whether it's in PHP 5 or some other language, you've needed to know how to handle run time errors and other "exceptional" conditions. You can do this by making your program throw generic exceptions. Or you can unlock the potential of PHP 5 and learn how to create custom exceptions, which is the subject of this four-part series.

In this first part they get you started with exceptions, showing how to throw them and catch them correctly (try/catch). They put it to good use in an example catching exceptions thrown from a MySQL connection and select.

Brett send in a link to a new post on his "Mr PHP" blog about a method he's come up with to cache images using the phpThumb library.

Generate thumbs by visiting a URL such as your.com/thumbs/images/image.50x50.jpg. This will create a 50x50px thumbnail of your.com/images/image.jpg. The thumb will be stored on your server at your.com/thumbs/images/image.50x50.jpg so the next request for the same image will be loaded without loading php for ultra fast image cache.

The phpThumb tool lets you dynamically resize an image and, if one does not exist for it, make a thumbnail that's output and cached. From then on the script just pulls from that local copy. He includes his code to get it working and the mod_rewrite rule that maps an image request back to it (so it's still "/images/myimage.jpg" instead of ......

In the recent OpenMind conference we were discussing how open source projects simply don't die as long as there is an interested user community: Even if the original company or individual who built the application stops working on it, somebody will always rise and start maintaining it.

Last few weeks have been a great example of this. Nemein is the company which originally built the OpenPsa2 suite of project management and CRM tools for consulting companies. In last two years there have been some shifts in strategy, and so we ceased working on the product.
