Do you run that whole site by hand?


No, its all computer driven. I have a scraper that scrapes box scores from the NCAA stat website. It's OK to scrape because its not illegal to copy facts, and box score stats are facts.

Then my program calculates everything and generates all the web pages(6000+!)

It takes about 7 hours, but all I do is type one command and it does all the work. I just run it overnight, go to sleep, and when I wake up I open the FTP client and upload everything. Takes about 2 hours to upload all 6,000+ pages.

That's pretty damn impressive.

Wish I understood all that programming half as much as you seem to and I could probably get a computer to run my numbers itself, would save me a few hours a day easily, multiple hours on a day like tomorrow.

are you running it through an NVIDIA CUDA, or just your on-board CPU?
