First Tweet: “WordPress.com experienced a service disruption this morning, but we’re back now. Thanks for your patience.”

After some time they came back with saying following sentenance on twitter

Second Tweet: You can always check the status of your favorite services—including WordPress.com—here: http://status.automattic.com/

Really Simple History of Ajax

Here in this article we discussed about ajax. We explored ajax history. As we know ajax is most useful and powerful tool in website development.

 Really Simple History of Ajax

Ajax (pronounced /ˈeɪˌdʒæks/) (shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript  and XML) is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side  to create interactive web applications. With Ajax, web applications can retrieve data from the server  asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. The use of Ajax techniques has led to an increase in interactive or dynamic interfaces on web pages. Data is usually retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object. Despite the name, the use of XML is not actually required, nor do the requests need to be asynchronous.

Really Simple History of Ajax

If you’re working on Ajax based websites, you’ll always face usability problems when users click on the Back or Forward buttons on the broswer. Using Really Simple History (RSH) allows you over come this issue.

The Really Simple History (RSH) framework makes it easy for AJAX applications to incorporate bookmarking and back and button support. By default, AJAX systems are not bookmarkable, nor can they recover from the user pressing the browser’s back and forward buttons. The RSH library makes it possible to handle both cases.

In addition, RSH provides a framework to cache transient session information that persists after a user leaves the web page. This cache is used by the RSH framework to help with history issues, but can also be used by your own applications to improve application performance. The cache is linked to a single instance of the web page, and will disappear when the user closes their browser or clear their browser’s cache.

RSH works on Internet Explorer 6+ and Gecko-based browsers, like Firefox. Safari is not supported.

List of iPod products

Many times We are searching for iPod products. Here in article I will give more overview about iPod products. First we will talk about:

What is iPod?

The iPod is a portable media player designed and marketed by Apple and launched on October 23, 2001. As of June 2010, the product line-up includes the hard drive-based iPod Classic, the touchscreen iPod Touch, the video-capable iPod Nano, and the compact iPod Shuffle. Former iPod models include the iPod Mini and the spin-off iPod Photo (since reintegrated into the main iPod Classic line). iPod Classic models store media on an internal hard drive, while all other models use flash memory to enable their smaller size (the discontinued Mini used a Microdrive  miniature hard drive). As with many other digital music players, iPods can also serve as external data storage devices. Storage capacity varies by model, ranging from 2 GB for the iPod Shuffle to 160 GB for the iPod Classic.

iPod Shuffle

The iPod Shuffle (trademarked, marketed and stylized as iPod shuffle) is a digital audio player designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It is the smallest model in Apple’s iPod family, and the first to use flash memory. The first model was announced at the Macworld Conference & Expo  on January 11, 2005; the current third generation model, introduced on March 11, 2009, weighs 10.7 grams

iPod Nano

The iPod Nano (trademarked, marketed, and stylized as iPod nano) is a portable media player designed and marketed by Apple. The first generation of the iPod Nano was introduced in the end of 2005 as a replacement for the iPod mini.[1]  It uses flash memory, like the iPod Shuffle, but with a 56 millimetres (2.2 in) QVGA display on the latest model, and the “click wheel” found on the iPod Classic. The iPod Nano has gone through five models, or generations, since its introduction. The fifth generation (current) supports FM radio, video recording, a microphone for voice memos, a pedometer, and a slightly larger screen than that of the previous generation.

iPod Classic

The iPod Classic (trademarked, marketed, and stylized as iPod classic and known before its sixth generation as simply iPod) is a portable media player marketed by Apple Inc. To date, there have been six generations of the iPod Classic, as well as a spin-off (the iPod Photo) that was later re-integrated into the main Classic line. All generations use a 1.8-inch hard drive for storage.

iPod Touch

The iPod Touch (stylized, trademarked, and marketed as iPod touch), is a portable media player, personal digital assistant, and Wi-Fi mobile platform designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The product was launched on September 5, 2007, at an event called The Beat Goes On.  The iPod Touch adds the multi-touch  graphical user interface to the iPod line. It is the first iPod with wireless access to the iTunes Store, and also has access to Apple’s App Store, enabling content to be purchased and downloaded directly on the device. Apple Inc. has sold over 32 million iPod Touch units as of the end of 2009.

The 2nd generation iPod Touch, featuring external volume controls, a built-in speaker, a contoured back, built-in Nike+, Bluetooth support, and the ability to connect a microphone, was unveiled on September 9, 2008, at the “Let’s Rock” keynote presentation.

Nike iPod

The Nike+iPod Sports Kit is a device which measures and records the distance and pace of a walk or run. The Nike+iPod consists of a small accelerometer[1]  attached to or embedded in a shoe, which communicates with either the Nike+ Sportband, a receiver plugged into an iPod nano, or directly with a 2nd or 3rd Generation iPod Touch, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. If using the iPod or the iPhone 3GS, iTunes software can be used to view the walk or run history.

how to find largest tables on MySQL Server

Using following article You can find the largest tables from Mysql database. Finding largest tables on MySQL instance is no brainier in MySQL 5.0+ thanks to Information Schema but I still wanted to post little query I use for the purpose so I can easily find it later, plus it is quite handy in a way it presents information:

10 rows IN SET (2 min 29.19 sec)

I do some converting and rounding to see number of rows in millions and data and index size in GB so I can save on counting zeros.
The last column shows how much does the index take compared to the data which is mainly for informational purposes but for MyISAM can also help you to size your key buffer compared to operating system cache.

I also use it to see which tables may be worth to review in terms of indexes. Large index size compared to data size often indicates there is a lot of indexes (so it is well possible there are some duplicates, redundant or simply unused indexes among them) or may be there is long primary key with Innodb tables. Of course it also could be perfectly fine tables but it is worth to look.

Changing the query a bit to look for different sorting order or extra data – such as average row length you can learn quite a lot about your schema this way.

It is also worth to note queries on information_schema can be rather slow if you have a lot of large tables. On this instance it took 2.5 minutes to run for 450 tables.

UPDATE: To make things easier I’ve added INFORMATION_SCHEMA to the query so it works whatever database you have active. It does not work with MySQL before 5.0 still of course

drag and drop sortable list javascript

Various implementations of Drag & Drop sortable lists using JS and CSS.

In Web applications I’ve seen numerous — and personally implemented a few — ways to rearrange items in a list. All of those were indirect interactions typically involving something like up/down arrows next to each item. Then I came across Simon Cozens’ example of rearranging a list via drag & drop. I was so inspired I had to try it out myself.
