I'm afraid it's only possible by writing some kind of script (PHP, Python, Ruby, etc.) that would do the job for you. I don't know how your database is organized, but you would need to match an article from your old database to an article in the WP database. Not really a hard task for an...

JSoup is a nice lib, but have you tried to use it in very large app? Is it good in terms of performance comparing to traditional build-in parsers? We're building a large-scale multi-threaded crawler, so it would be nice to get some ideas about its performance...

Just if anyone would need to do the same thing, here is how we do it. Just find captcha image src field, fetch contents of that url locally in some tmp folder and there you go, you can solve your captcha.

Scrapy is awesome, however there is a strong alternative named Grab. I used it once and for some requirements it might suit better. Unfortunately the docs are in russian...

Don't know if you solved the problem already, but here is a snippet to use instead of print statement. import pdb; pdb.set_trace() This will show a debug console, you can print variables and run code right there as the program runs. Hit 'n' for the next statement and just type variable names...

My 5 cents here. You have to find a good partner who is experienced in the business world. Having someone who is able to interact with investors, do all the paperwork (like planning, business plan) is crucial. He's the one to have a clear vision of the product, not affected by the emotions you have.

There is another good parser out there: http://code.google.com/p/phpquery/ And please, don't use regexps to parse html. See the first answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags

The best pick would be Windows PowerShell, it seems to have all the things you requested. Why would anyone use PHP for scripting and automation? It's not designed for this, be it under Linux or Windows envs.

Well, I'd suggest you to hire at least one very experienced developer who used to work on massive projects before. In case you hire a lot of low-paid newbies, all those buzzwords like git,oop,mvc won't make a difference. They need to know how to use them to be effective and not to mess the whole...

I'd suggest you avoid learning PHP because of the bad reputation it has. Java is a nice pick. Teaching yourself Python or Ruby is a good thing, but you'd better to learn some functional languages to understand some techniques used by professional programmers (Clojure, Erlang). Just knowing the...

Not sure if it would suit your needs, but I have some nice development experience with Satchmo (http://www.satchmoproject.com/). Doesn't look that shiny as other options you have, but at least it has some pretty solid codebase.

Apologies for posting in the old thread, however WinstonOBoogie was the one who resurrected it. Just wanted to say if you'd consider to use some modern frameworks like Django or Ruby-on-Rails, your life could be simplified a lot by using postgres, not mysql. Using the latter might run you into...

I guess you are safe now after changing your password. You might also want to turn off pop3 in case you don't use external email clients. There is a setting for this somewhere in your account props.

Because some other user might be in need of pinterest accounts. So he will look through the thread and contact us without starting a new thread. Makes sense right?
