Progress on omgAWW
The other day, my friend Caleb registered a domain for me. The domain? http://omgaww.com. We are going to automatically grab cute animal pictures from le internet and add them to our own database. We’ll serve the pages up and slap ads on them. Maybe enough money will trickle in to let us buy a milkshake or two.
Tonight, after work, I experimented with using CURL to retrieve some images automatically. I’ve got a script set up that runs every 30 minutes, querying Reddit for a list of relevant images. I have yet to determine what information we’ll be storing in the database, so right now I’m just saving the data to my web server and the intent is to parse them later once I know the data I need to save.
It’s after midnight now. I’ve got work in the morning. I should get some rest.
