Gmail Paper!




Everyone loves Gmail. But not everyone loves email, or the digital era. What ever happened to stamps, filing cabinets, and the mailman? Well, you asked for it, and it’s here. We’re bringing it back.

These are the lines with which google introduces its new service Gmail Paper on April 1st. Not to mention the same day marks anniversary celebration of introduction of all controversial gmail.. First to tell u what gmail paper is all about. Its a service that would allow u to convert the softcopy of ur mail in ur inbox to hard copy in ur mailbox.

Crap! That was my response on hearing that, coz the primary importance of email is quicker paper free communication. But when Google is considered anything is possible. It might possibly be a April Fools Day stunt. If you remember thats what world had to say when google introduced Gmail last year on the same day.

So whatever it is, a prank or reality only one word from my point of view " we are loving it! " .

Problems with mysql.sock

Sometimes while working on Linux, mysql.sock may get deleted by mistake due to some softwares.. in such cases any access to mysql wont be possible as the sock file defines the socket connection for mysql. It will give an error of the following type: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) In such cases follow these steps to reconfigure mysql: Delete the log files with the names: ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1 and ibdata1 in the /var/lib/mysql directory Then type: "mysqld_safe --user=mysql &" This will automatically create mysql.sock file and even the new logs files. This is a very simple solution which I used recently and decided to share with you people.

Breaking open https://web.whatsapp.com/

Today whatsapp have launched an online/web version of their overly popular smartphone messaging app. I was very much interested in seeing the architecture of this app because as far as i knew, they never stored messages on their server but all the data was only stored in users phone. So I started to look under the hood of the webapp and what I saw was a beauty. First let me list down the frameworks they have used in creating this app: React .js : A JAVASCRIPT LIBRARY FOR BUILDING USER INTERFACES from Facebook. Underscore.js  : Unerscore is a JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects. It’s the answer to the question: “If I sit down in front of a blank HTML page, and want to start being productive immediately, what do I need?” … and the tie to go along with jQuery's tux and Backbone's suspenders. Velocity.js : Velocity is an animation engine with the same API as jQuery's $.animate(...
