The opinions of what is gainful life experience and what is a
waste of time will vary greatly from one to another.
Experience and money are never a waste of time *to me*.

but did they make money off of the video, was it branded?
If not, then it was a great promo, even without seeing it, I've 'seen' the buzz.

David :
We are probably be talking about different things.
I am talking about my Quarters game I wrote several years ago -- you
can play it here:
http://sperling.com/quarters/
You see, in December 1999, I wrote a Macintosh freeware application
that did the same thing as shown above. I placed a link on my
web-site to download the application, namely:
http://sperling.com/freeware.php
I then contacted several shareware sites online and gave them the
link for them to use/advertise.
In February of 2000, Mac World ran an article and mentioned my
Quarters game. Several other magazines followed with similar
articles. As a result, my site experienced thousands of downloads and
many of the shareware sites I shared my link with reported similar
activity.
Over the following decade, I received lot's of paying request for the
secret to the game.
However, what I did was pretty simple -- there was nothing
outstanding. There was no video, nor branding, it was just an
interesting experience *for me*.
Cheers,
tedd

can you elaborate? This kind of thing is all new to me. I need to
see some
sample code to even start to get an idea.
Hopefully Tedd will notice this thread. He's the man when it
comes to sample code. While there may be nothing directly-related to
this (I don't know, I haven't looked), you may want to check
http://php1.net/ to see some of his other samples for other issues
that come up.
I looked through Tedd's things there (thanks! :-) but did not see
anything on that topic.
Meanwhile someone on another list suggested I use curl, from the
command line (which I can access from my script).
Surely I can find some forum or talk list somewhere to get help with
that if I get stuck.. but I thought to ask here before this thread dies:
do you guys have any suggestions - what are your favorite places to
discuss technicalities surrounding issuing commands on the command line?
(If I said that right.)

Using this code I get error message:
"The spreadsheet at this URL could not be found. Make sure that you
have the right URL and that the owner of the spreadsheet hasn't
deleted it."
I have set up a test spreadsheet and it exists. Any ideas on why this
might be?
<?php
$key="[key from google spreadsheet URL";
$url = "[well known
protocol][colon][[forwardslash]forwardslash]spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/cells/$key/1/public/values";
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser
$google_sheet = curl_exec($ch);
print("<br>google_sheet: $url");
print($google_sheet);
etc
?>
