The Inches We Need Are Everywhere Around Us

This is one of the best inspirational speech I know about. When you’re lack of motivation, take a look at this, or some similar video. It helps!

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. -Zig Ziglar

 

I don’t know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives.
All comes down to today, and either, we heal as a team, or we’re gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play. Until we’re finished.
We’re in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me.
And, we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light.
We can climb outta hell… one inch at a time.
Now I can’t do it for ya, I’m too old.
I look around, I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I’ve made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I’ve pissed away all my money, believe it or not.
I chased off anyone who’s ever loved me. And lately, I can’t even stand the face I see in the mirror. You know, when you get old, in life, things get taken from you.
I mean, that’s… that’s… that’s a part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losin’ stuff.
You find out life’s this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game – life or football – the margin for error is so small.
I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don’t quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us. They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second.
On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch.
We claw with our fingernails for that inch.
Because we know when add up all those inches, that’s gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!
I’ll tell you this, in any fight it’s the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch.
And I know, if I’m gonna have any life anymore it’s because I’m still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that’s what living is, the six inches in front of your face.
Now I can’t make you do it. You’ve got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes.
Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you.
Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him.
That’s a team, gentlemen, and either, we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals.
That’s football guys, that’s all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?

Google as DoS Tool?

This is a technique that can be used to launch a denial of service attack against a website hosted on Amazon (or even elsewhere). The steps:
  • Gather a large number of URLs from the targeted website. Preferably big media files (jpg, pdf, etc)
  • Put these URLs in a Google feed, or just put them in a Google Spreadsheet
  • Put the feed into a Google service, or use the image(url) command in Google spreadsheet
  • Sit back and enjoy seeing Google launching a Slashdot-style denial of service attack against your target.

Import Big SQL File Into MySQL with phpMyAdmin

If you have problem to import large SQL files into MySql using phpMyadmin, the official documentation offers a few solutions, but the easiest method to solve this problem is:

  • Find the config.inc.php file located in the phpMyadmin directory. If you have Wamp installed, it is probably located here:
C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.4.10.1\config.inc.php
  • Find the line with $cfg[‘UploadDir’] on it and update it to:
$cfg['UploadDir'] = 'upload';
  • Create a folder called ‘upload’ in the same folder where config.inc.php file, so now you have:
C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.4.10.1\upload\

Then copy the big sql file that you are trying to import into the new upload folder.

Now when you go to phpMyAdmin, at the import page you choose a drop down present that wasn’t there before – it contains all of the sql files in the upload directory that you have just created. You can now select your file, and start with the import.

Simple as that.

Reset Forgotten MySql root Password Under Windows

If you forgot root password for your MySQL database server running under Microsoft Windows, there is still a way to access your database and even reset your password using the command prompt.

Follow next steps:

 

1. Stop your MySQL server completely. This can be done from Wamp(if you use it), or start “services.msc” using Run window, and stop the service there.

2. Open your MS-DOS command prompt using “cmd” inside the Run window. Then go to your MySQL bin folder, such as C:\MySQL\bin. Path is different if you use Wamp.

3. Execute the following command in the command prompt:

  mysqld.exe -u root --skip-grant-tables

4. Leave the current MS-DOS command prompt as it is, and open a new MS-DOS command prompt window.

5. Go to your MySQL bin folder again.

6. Enter “mysql” and press enter.

7. You should now have the MySQL command prompt working. Type “use mysql;” so that we switch to the “mysql” database.

8. Execute the following command to update the password:

UPDATE user SET Password = PASSWORD('your_new_passowrd') WHERE User = 'root';

However, you can now run almost any SQL command that you wish.

After you are finished close the first command prompt, and type “exit;” in the second command prompt.

 

You can now start the MySQL service. That’s it.

SSH Replacement – Mosh

Mosh(mobile shell) is something new I found out last days.

Remote terminal application that allows roaming, supports intermittent connectivity, and provides intelligent local echo and line editing of user keystrokes.

Basically, Mosh is a replacement for SSH. It’s more robust and responsive, especially over Wi-Fi or long-distance links.

So, we are all aware of problem that most of network programs lose their connections after roaming.  Mosh solves this problem. It automatically roams as you move between Internet connections. Whether you use Wi-Fi on one spot, Ethernet in a other, and LTE on third place, you’ll stay logged in. That’s it.

With Mosh, you can put your laptop to sleep mode, and when you wake it up later, your conection will be intact. Pretty cool isn’t it?

Goals – Keep Them Secret or Share Them With The World?

You have probably heard about the “Law of attraction“. It says that we should talk about our intentions and goals, visualize them, and it’s more likely to make them happen.

But is it really like this? Take a look at this video where Derek Sivers gives different opinion…

Announcing your plans to others satisfies your self-identity just enough that you’re less motivated to do the hard work needed.

 

I have tried both strategies. For me, works this second.

When I tell to close people around me about my goals, usually I don’t get really big success about those goals.
On the other side, when I keep my goals secret, I am more motivated, and generally I make bigger success in achieving them.

 

What’s your experience with goals, which strategy works for you?
