Last night I was so pissed off I wanted to throw the laptop out the window and see if the apache feathers can make it fly.
Simultaneous MySQL server connections in WordPress don’t seem to work. The autolink plugin hooks to the core functions, opens the external link database with $open_link_db = mysql_connect(), performs table operations and then closes the connection with mysql_close($open_link_db);. Everything is fine until some (maybe not all) other functions need access to the wordpress database again. Like the sidebar for example:
Warning: mysql_error(): 6 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/wordpress/public_html/autolink/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 189
Theoretically this is unacceptable, but in practice the sidebar can be disabled and you get error-free output. I’ll get back to finish this plugin after I receive response from the WordPress support forum. I tell you, the automatic interlinking plugin is MONEY.
Google Gadgets attract quite a lot of traffic, and developers all around the globe rush to get their hands on valuable niche realestate. Browsing trough the gadget directory, I saw many useless ”quote of the day” widgets that are simple to write and generate revenue from ads contained within. Great, so I chose my niche: quote gadgets. Wow, wait a minute! There are 1 – 24 of 200 results for quote. Fuck me! I’m not going to invest my time into writing complex gadgets, at least not right now, so I have to stick to the quotes niche. Maybe the quote topic I’m going to be in is not that crowded: Family Guy Quotes Gadget. Whell shit, 6 results 3 of wich are exacly my topic.

Today I have been working on the distant interlinking plugin for wordpress. Decided to call it AutoLink. Though it works, it’s just a sketch right now. The following functions have been implemented:
- On the fly generation of links from words
- Condition so that links are used only once in posts.
- Usage of remote database
- Condition that the matching keywords are not already linking (
<a href="">keyword</a> )

The beta version is absolete, you can grab the final Opera Mini 4 from operamini.com: 
Note: If you came here just to download Opera Mini 4 beta and you phone supports Advanced MIDP then click the following banner: 
Opera Mini 4 beta has been released and you want to try it out. But you can’t download it directly from the site, you have to get it trough the mobile phone, a great inconvenience for those with expensive traffic charges. I mean, that’s the reason I’m using Opera Mini 3 in the first place, to cut down on the bandwidth usage.

I was recently being active in “digg me, digg you” topics, until I came up with the idea of automatic submission and voting. The only thing that separates human from robot submissions is the Captcha recognition.
Here is what I have discovered:

Two, three websites are easy to manage, but what happens when you want to link hundreds of blogs, wikis, CMS’s?
It’s not already hard to create unique content, now you have to start linking the the newest articles with the old ones and vice-versa. Yeah, shure there are some tools available like automated XML-RPC ping, but this is still manual labor.
Purple SEO needs a tool to interlink distant websites automatically. Here is my great Search Engine Optimization Tool idea and plan:
