I never put information like this on my site, but I thought it was important to do. Since many countries and corporations are trying to block access to WikiLeaks I’ll post updated links to their site here.
I’m also providing links to WikiLeaks information that is only available from torrent sites. I have a complete backup of the entire WikiLeaks site and plan to mirror it soon.
Hopefully my site doesn’t get shut down next 🙂
In this video I’ll continue to show you how to retrieve specific information using Regular Expressions and PHP. I’ll specifically cover how to find:
In this video tutorial I will tackle Regular Expressions. People think Regular Expressions are too hard to use. And, while I have received many thank you’s for creating my last Regex Tutorial. Here I’m going to finish up where I left off.
Before you proceed you should most definitely take a look at those Web Design and Programming tutorials that came previous to this one. This tutorial starts with this article Web Design and Programming.
In this part of the Web Design and Programming tutorial, I will show you how to do anything with PHP functions. Specifically I will cover:
In part 5 of my Web Design and Programming tutorial I will cover the following topics:
And, I’ll also go over a bunch of other functions specific to arrays. If you missed part 1 of this tutorial it is available here Web Design and Programming.
All of the code in this tutorial will follow the video. Use it in any way that you would like.
If you have any questions or comments leave them below and I’ll answer them.

In this video tutorial I’ll show you how to use arrays using the PHP programming language.
Specifically I cover:
In this web design and programming video tutorial I’ll show you how to use looping statements with PHP. If you missed the first part of this tutorial it is here Web Design and Programming.
I specifically will cover the following topics:
Here I continue covering Web Design and Programming using all of the most used languages being HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, etc. If you missed my first video, you should watch that first Web Design and Programming part 1.
In this specific tutorial I’ll cover the following:
I have received tons of requests for tutorials. So, I’ve decided to create a massive tutorial that answers them all. In this tutorial I’ll focus on Web Design and Programming using all of the tools required. You should check out my Learn HTML Tutorial if you haven’t ahead of time.
I’ll continue this tutorial, with your input, until you can do pretty much anything in Web Design and Programming. Leave questions and comments below, because you are going to totally control everything I cover here.
I’ll start off with the basics of PHP and move on from there with tons of examples. Of course, all of the code used will follow the video.

Well it has been a long trip, but I’m going to wrap up the Python Tutorial here. Before I stopped I wanted to answer one question posed to me which was to create a program that automated the process of getting demographics.
I didn’t have much time to perfect this and I plan to come back, but this program will grab tons of demographics for you including:
In this Python Tutorial I show you how to build a simple chat server. All you need to do this are the pre-installed modules: asyncore, asynchat and socket.
The code then basically does the following:
In this video tutorial I show you how to create dynamic websites with Python. This is the quickest and easiest way to start using Python in much the same way as PHP is used.
I previously taught you how to scrap websites for information in this tutorial Python Website Scraping. Here I’ll show you how to scrap and then display that information dynamically on the internet.
Leave any questions or comments below and here are all of my previous Python Video Tutorial’s:
Here I continue to teach you how to use the Tkinter GUI module built into Python. I build an application that allows you to input files, edit them and then save them. I specifically show you how to make the following GUI widgets with Tkinter:
If you haven’t seen the previous Tkinter tutorial you should definitely check it out below first. Otherwise this won’t make any sense.
In this video tutorial I’ll explain how to use the Tkinter module for designing Python GUI applications. I specifically teach you how to setup:
In the previous tutorial I showed you how to grab the following from any sites rss feed using Python:
This is known as website scraping and it is the major component used by all automated website applications. One thing I didn’t cover is how to strip the html tags from those articles, so I’ll do that in this video.
I was asked today to provide a big personality test that provided easy to understand results. Below I provide a personality quiz and answer sheet along with a detailed report on all 16 possible personality types.
This personality quiz is based off of Myers Briggs, with some additions from more recently developed personality analysis. I hope you find it useful, because I’ve been working on this for some time.
Your Personality Type
In this video tutorial I show you how to scrap websites. I introduce 2 new modules being UrlLib and Beautiful Soup. UrlLib is preinstalled on Python, but you have to install Beautiful Soup for it to work.
Beautiful Soup is available at their website. If you are using Python versions previous to Python 3.0 get this version Beautiful Soup for Python previous to 3.0. If you are using Python 3.0 or higher get this version of Beautiful Soup.
To install it follow these steps:
In this Python Video Tutorial, I will show you how to create databases using the Python SQLite module. SQLite is great because it:
You enter and retrieve information from an SQLite database just like you do with any other database, by using SQL. Here is a tutorial on how to program with SQL if you don’t know how SQL Statements Video Tutorial. In that tutorial I focus on MySQL, but everything a say about SQL is nearly identical.
In this video tutorial on how to use Python, I will focus on how to use an interesting Python Module called Shelve. Shelve allows you to store data in files similar to how a database works. It is very easy to use and provides a convenient way to take advantage of the power of Python dictionaries while providing you with the ability to change the data.
I’ll continue in the next tutorial to cover another interesting Python Module called SQLite. It is a Module that can be used as if it was a database meaning:
I realized today that I haven’t mentioned my diet in many months. The reason why most people stop talking about their diet is because it has failed. Mine hasn’t!!!
For those who are unaware, last year at about this time I weighed 248lbs and I decided I wanted to lose weight. I created a diet plan that was based around these core principles:
