Whenever my computer gets really hot and things start to slow down, I check memory usage. Usually the culprit is either Chrome, or iTunes, which can use over 1 GB of memory just to play some music! If you want a lighter alternative, you can find most songs for free on Youtube and create playlists.

The difficulty of extracting and parsing text from an unstructured source is will documented. A general formula that lets you parse text would be incredibly powerful because it can handle every kind of textual document that is thrown at it.

An easy way to do it would be to split the text on spaces, and tag each part of speech.

With the new release of the iPad and iPhone 6, the processor is sure to be updated to the A8 cortex. Rumors have swirled with speed increases, and soon we will find out how fast the new processor will be.

Can you imagine how speedy the iPad would be if it had a quad core processor?

Hopefully the new processor will have the added speed without additional thickness and without lower battery life.

When only 50 out of 6,000 products make it to Google Merchant Center after exporting from OpenCart, you know you have a problem.

After reading a lot of forum threads about why this OpenCart problem was happening, and after considering hiring someone to manually copy and paste it because the OpenCart module wasn’t working, I finally found the solution.

It looks like I messed up the product descriptions while exporting to Google Shopping.

After fixing the product descriptions, everything exporting correctly to Google Merchant Center!

I recently had several exporting modules for PrestaShop stop working when dealing with an export to consumer shopping search engines like Google Shopping, Nextag, and Shopzilla. It seemed to work fine on my Linux CentOS server, but the Windows server was having problems with the PrestaShop modules.

Before I tried to build a plugin from scratch to export my Zen Cart product feed to Google Shopping, I decided to research the best available plugins out there. Unfortunately, the none could really handle large product feeds (mine had over 40k products!).

It seems like the options were very limited – either you could export to Google Shopping with Magentic one, Numinix, or DataFeedWatch. Magnetic one

Numinix has problems exporting as well. One of the largest problems  with Numinix is you can’t export to Google Shopping in a way that lets you add extra fields that are present in your product pages, which limits what you can put into the Google Shopping feed.

Datafeedwatch exporting to Google Shopping only lets you have 5k products for $30/month, and each additional 1k products is $5/month! Worse yet, their Magento plugin is ridiculously outdated and doesn’t work well with variations.

Just how hard is it to generate an XML or CSV file of your product feed with PrestaShop? Apparently it’s not very easy, which according to the review on Exporting PrestaShop feeds to Google Shopping.

There are some free modules, but they come with a fair mix of problems where it either takes too long to export, or it times out.

After trying to export my WooCommerce shopping feed to Google Shopping, I had numerous problems with the extensions currently out there.

I’m not sure they work with older versions of wordpress (like 3.5), or if it was because I had over 30k products in the feed, which is why I had all the errors. I also couldn’t get product variations to work properly, and had to manually edit the feed at first which takes a really long time because of all the products!

But after trying the fixes incorporated in the Feedonomics WooCommerce API showing how to export WooCommerce article, everything seemed to be working fine.
