FAQ:
- Is there an evaluation option or trial offer for the plugin?
Sorry, there is no evaluation for the plugin. You may purchase the plugin for $25 now and then cancel the subscription if you no longer wish to use it for your website or buy the plugin outright for $125. - Does the plugin solely work together with the user-management part of wordpress or will it protect my files?
No it does not protect files. It only adds and removes users from wordpress. You will have to use a separate tool/plugin
to protect files such as pay plugins like wishlist members or free
plugins like this member access plugin .Files will have to be protected separately by a wordpress user-management system (It has been tested/developed with wishlist member in mind).
or you can simply put an .htaccess file in /protected_files/.htaccess (or wordpress/uploads if that is where you start uploading your files) that would look like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^.*$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*wordpress_logged_in.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule . – [R=403,L] - What kind of support do you offer?
The plugin will be updated to work with the latest offerings from Verotel.
Any questions in the comment section will be answered immediately.
New features will be added from feature requests made by customers.

I couldn’t set a filter function in my case but I could use a customfilter which worked pretty good.
For some reason this link is the 3rd or 4th page or worse when searching on google.
It should be higher up then most of the useless posts out there in blog land.
Downloading files from putlocker.
September 18th, 2011 Curtis Rutledge Steps for manually downloading files from putlocker.
1. View source.
2. Go to http://www.putlocker.com/get_file.php?stream=BA0A099EFEE12E42
3. View Source
I wanted to download some media off of putlocker. Seems they don’t protect their data very well.
This is probably why this company never got that big. At least youtube tries to protect the users data.

September 18th, 2011 Curtis Rutledge Womens FIFA World Cup Soccer Calculating RPI
June 29th, 2011 Curtis Rutledge Hello,
I’ve written a small PHP program last night to generate FIFA womens team stats.
I decided to post the stats here. I really like calculating RPI statistics as it gives you a very good meter to measure team strength with.
2002-2010 Womens World Cup FIFA RPI.
Here’s a compilation of all the team stats since 2002-2010.
It should be accurate but I might be missing some games (150 games total).
It’s probably not the most useful data as teams change, same with players, coaches, playing styles etc.

2010 Womens World Cup FIFA RPI.
This might be more useful as it only uses 2010 match data. It’s the recent relative team strengths.
RPI is usually a very good indicator of how a team will do. You can can compare two teams often by looking
at their RPI, whatever team has the higher RPI will most of the time come out the winner.

Filestream Custom Hadoop Jar
June 26th, 2011 Curtis Rutledge 
FileStreamMapReduce.Jar
Amazon’s Elastic map reduce allows users to easily run commands on hundreds or thousands of instances (cpu’s)Using the FileStreamMapReduce.jar you can easily run thousands of image or video converting and processing commands in a
manner that will save you time and money.Use this JAR for more advanced commands. It allows you to convert images, apply watermarks, process video data all on a file by file basis.
As well it also maintains the original filenames and won’t split or compress the final output data.
The FileStreamMapReduce.jar has a running total of successful and failed conversions so you can keep track if everything is going
ok. Also files that were not successfully converted are indicated with a .err extension.
How to run FileStreamMapReduce on Amazon Elastic Map Reduce.
jar location: s3n://myjarlocation/FileStreamMapReduce.jar
jar arguements: s3n://myinputbucket/ s3n://myoutputbucket/ -install=convert -extension=png “-command=/usr/local/bin/convert -resize 32×32 – png:-”
**remember trailing slashes in input and output bucket paths**
The -install=convert command will install the command via yum install convert
The -extension=png option will rename any output file to the specified extension since data is streamed to the convert/ffmpeg commands.
Other common tools you may wish to install are -install=ffmpeg
**UNFORTUNATELY AMAZON DOES NOT SUPPORT CONVERT or FPMG ON THEIR HADOOP SERVERS**
Tested using Amazon Elastic Map Reduce /w Hadoop 0.18.3
Running the plugin with ffmpeg
jar location: s3n://myjarlocation/FileStreamMapReduce.jar
jar arguements: s3n://myinputbucket/ s3n://myoutputbucket/ -install=convert -extension=avi “-command=/path/to/ffmpeg -i pipe:0 -f avi pipe:1″
Here are some additional instructions on how to use ffmpeg with stdin and stdout streams.
This is how you would use it with FileStreamMapReduce.Jar

Roulette simulator
June 8th, 2011 Curtis Rutledge I like games of chance and probability. So back a couple of years ago I read a book about how players were gaming the system and making big dollars from playing roulette. I was curious did the system really work?
I think the answer is possibly. If the house is cheating or has a table that isn’t random enough. However if the roulette wheel is random then no you are going to lose money. Here’s a link to my roulette simulation script. You can set your start money and high and low bets to see how long it takes before you run out of money using the betting style from the book.
The simulator places bets on red/black/odd/even and increases bets on winning spaces while decreasing bets on losing spaces.
The idea is if you have a long period of non-repeating results. Such as red/red/red/red/red your winnings will grow exponentially.
You reset your bet to the minium amount and collect your money when you hit the table max bet.
You only lose money when you get 0 (depending on the type of table).
