I was looking at MySQL.com and found a new GUI, which came as replacement of old MYSQL administrative GUI. My impression was not good to learn that they have something new, as I thought it might be just that they get their old interface opensourced or something. But when I install this application, hmm .. it looks really good, a decently good managed user interface. Meet all modern application GUI stuff, still keep it professional. Though I download a Beta version but so far so good, it does all basic work I need to perform in manner I am habitual. Looks like I can relay on this interface in future.

This is what Microsoft has to say through it’s WEB portal (http://www.microsoft.com/web ), where it distribute one of leading platform for Web application development and deployment.

Well this message can be a direct/indirect attack on those who thing Microsoft is up again only making $$$ and not services. Well guys you are wrong, check this website out. You will find PHP and hence any software made on PHP works fine on Windows server and that to with easy. I am using PHP on Windows from IIS 5.5 and it always work fine for me, but with IIS 7 and MS WEB it is really getting much easier to install PHP and any application on it.

I like the concept and idea, love to see same thing from Apache when they start support for .NET framework ?

It’s been a long time I put any of my rants. Well actually things are not bad to put anything in that section. But today I feel really low!!! I really don’t know what is going on, things are not in place and yes we cannot expect them to go as our wish, but at least they shouldn’t go that odd.
I always believe in god that he all time want to judge you based on your “Exam of life” and I always challenge him with his toughest exams, and really he is doing his bit perfectly. After all God is GOD. Everything I looked around is not good, father health was always a concern. No time for 2 month old kid, work for 15 hrs a day, client is not paying, banks have their internal problem to do money transfers, developers are taking off/called off. These are few things happened to me in last 7 days or so. Nothing is positive, nothing to get me optimistic.
Yet, I am looking forward not because I am good, but because I have no choice. I choose this path and I have to go over it. I don’t want to fail, so I do whatever I can do, “karma kiya ja phal ki chinta mat kar” is all what I remember from GITA. I will learn some day to remain happy with all these problems, as problems are there to get solve, happiness cames with solutions. Good luck to me !!!

Today I was upgrading one of my client’s wordpress installation, but it was failing, later I found in some forum that this failure is because 1and1.com hosting doesn’t have PHP enable by default and that we need to map php5 compiler properly. For this all you need to do is just add

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

in your .htaccess and the upgrade will work fine. Also, this is just one of many reason for upgrade failure, and you should perform this after you check all permission and stuff on your application.

Below is the code I found on some forum that help in changing the registration point of dynamically loaded Images, that help in rotation of movieclip. Basically it only create new _xreg and _yreg points that need to be adjust to change coordinate system before you rotate image/movieclip using _rotation2 variable.

It works for Action Script 2.0. But should work in AS 3.0 as well.

var MCP = MovieClip.prototype;
MCP._xreg = MCP._yreg=0;
MCP.setPropRel = function(prop, amount) {
var a = {x:this._xreg, y:this._yreg};
this.localToGlobal(a);
this._parent.globalToLocal(a);
this[prop] = amount;
var b = {x:this._xreg, y:this._yreg};
this.localToGlobal(b);
this._parent.globalToLocal(b);
this._x -= b.x-a.x;
this._y -= b.y-a.y;

};
MCP.set_x2 = function(v) {
var a = {x:this._xreg, y:this._yreg};
this.localToGlobal(a);
this._parent.globalToLocal(a);
this._x += v-a.x;
};
MCP.get_x2 = function() {
var a = {x:this._xreg, y:this._yreg};
this.localToGlobal(a);
this._parent.globalToLocal(a);
return a.x;
};
MCP.set_y2 = function(v) {
var a = {x:this._xreg, y:this._yreg};
this.localToGlobal(a);
this._parent.globalToLocal(a);
this._y += v-a.y;
};
MCP.get_y2 = function() {
var a = {x:this._xreg, y:this._yreg};
this.localToGlobal(a);
this._parent.globalToLocal(a);
return a.y;
};
MCP.set_xscale2 = function(v) {
this.setPropRel("_xscale", v);
};
MCP.get_xscale2 = function() {
return this._xscale;
};
MCP.set_yscale2 = function(v) {
this.setPropRel("_yscale", v);
};
MCP.get_yscale2 = function() {
return this._yscale;
};
MCP.set_rotation2 = function(v) {
this.setPropRel("_rotation", v);
};
MCP.get_rotation2 = function() {
return this._rotation;
};
MCP.get_xmouse2 = function() {
return this._xmouse-this._xreg;
};
MCP.get_ymouse2 = function() {
return this._ymouse-this._yreg;
};
with (MCP) {
addProperty("_x2", get_x2, set_x2);
addProperty("_y2", get_y2, set_y2);
addProperty("_xscale2", get_xscale2, set_xscale2);
addProperty("_yscale2", get_yscale2, set_yscale2);
addProperty("_rotation2", get_rotation2, set_rotation2);
addProperty("_xmouse2", get_xmouse2, null);
addProperty("_ymouse2", get_ymouse2, null);
}
ASSetPropFlags(MCP, null, 1);
delete MCP;

If you have ISO of Win 7, but not CD/DVD writer to burn disk or worst case, you don’t have DVD rom to read your disk, then microsoft have a solution for you. Use this tool http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool and get USB Drive converted into bootable Win 7 installation disk and enjoy.

I would say even if you have DVD available still get a USB drive it works much faster then DVD.

After 3 weeks finally Aaryan came back from his grandmother’s house. I am so happy. It was long time without him but that is how life goes. You are not luckily enough to have everything you want everyday. Since is almost 2 months he start recognizing the actions and maybe he start memorizing us now. We enjoy his action as always, he start smiling more and more now a days, look to play with us all the time.

On the other hand, business needs me most than ever before. New prospects are there, some really interesting project on discussion line, some already on desk for completion, ah, life is good. But where ? I spend my day waiting to play with Aaryan, end up working on computer. If I play I make my pending list grow up, if I don’t play, I still cannot work with concentration. Man this is not fair, I seriously need to get more time for myself, but not this day. Whatever it takes I have to hold business. God is there to give a middle path, he already did that. Aaryan is getting habitual to wake up until mid night and I can work while I see him playing on bed near to my desk. Keep talking to him while writing code.

Wish I can get more time with him, but I am happy with whatever comes up. One day I will be free for all this that I miss today, I will get my dues then for sure.
