SIMPLE TRICK TO TRANSFER FILES BETWEEN ANY DEVICES


There are different ways to transfer files between your devices. Few involves using USB cable, OTG Pen-drive, Bluetooth, etc. And all these methods are OK if you are going to transfer huge amount of data. What if you want to transfer a single pdf or text file or files of lesser size. Finding your pendrive or cable, connecting it to your system and waiting for the system to detect and then start transferring is quite a lot of time consumed.

Here's a simple trick which may come in handy for you.

1. Open Gmail or any mail service of your choice.

2. Create a new mail and attach the files you want to transfer.

3. If you want to send them to yourself you can do, but it works only on few web services. So, better option is to save it as a draft.

4. Now open the same mail account on the other device and you will have the files in your mail under Drafts. SIMPLE!

FYI - This trick purely depends on the file size and your internet bandwidth.

PREVENT DEFAULT TAB EVENT TO AVOID FOCUS ON URL USING ANGULARJS



   Preventing default tab event to avoid focus on the URL bar or any other elements other than the desired ones. 

   So here is our first item in hand and let us see how we solve it. It goes this way - When there are multiple input boxes or text areas in a particular page of web application, the user generally uses tab button to switch to the next input box or text area. This works fine until the user reaches the last input box or text area. Now when he presses the tab button the focus is moved to URL box or any other element on the web application. Instead we will try to bring it back to first input box or text area of the web application.

   The below solution works for dynamically created input or text areas and also for static number and it is purely using Angularjs and javascript. 

   Let us take input boxes into consideration.

   First set an id to each and every input box in the web application with a common pattern. For example: textbox-1, textbox-2, etc,. Here only the integer at the end differs so it will be easy to find an element and focus it ourselves without depending on the tab event.

  Prevent the default action of the tab button so that the user is not let to the next element on clicking tab button. Now get the current element's id and just get the string after the '-' character. Since it's a string, parse it into an integer and add 1 to it and after converting it back to string concatenate it with the id pattern 'textbox-'. This gives our next elements id. Now check if there is an element with that id if so then set focus to that element or set focus to the first element of the web application.

   Now the resultant functionality will be exactly like using tab button and when the user clicks the tab button from the last input box, the focus will be on first element again.

Here is the output fiddle

ANGULARJS - SUPER POWERED BY GOOGLE



    It has been a long time since my last post. I am back with a new and powerful technology - Angularjs - Super-powered by Google. 

   Angularjs is a javascript framework for developing sweet and dynamic web applications. You can find more about it on their website Angularjs

  So what am I going to do with that much power in my hand? Teach by composing tutorials? Nah! There are more number of websites and blogs which does that. What I am going to do is give solutions to problems which I could not find online or which were not in the right order.

You can comment on each post if you have any questions or if you want to suggest a better solution for the problem, you are most welcome. So let us begin!

THE DEATH SWITCH - PASS ON YOUR INFORMATION AFTER YOU DIE



     Ever seen those whodunit movies where the ingenious criminal mastermind controls the guy who has a skeleton in his closet by threatening to leak his secret in the event of his death? Well, that's actually possible. Which may not be good news for people who can be easily blackmailed, but it's definitely good news for all those who are interested in passing their essential information (like bank account details and social networking passwords) to their nearest and dearest in case they die of unforeseeable causes. Death Switch (deathswitch.com) is a website which deals with what we call 'Information Insurance'. A death switch (or a dead man's switch) is an automated system that prompts you for a password at a regular interval to make sure that you are still alive. If the password is not entered for a certain period of time, the system prompts you once more, after which, if no response is detected, it infers that you are either dead or critically disable. At this points, it passes on your pre-scripted messages to the people you have named in the registration.

AN IDE FOR FINDING ERRORS IN PHP, JAVASCRIPT, HTML, CSS, SQL AND MORE



      Just like any other IDE which do basic type checking of PHP code, PHPStorm also understands your code. And it is not just for PHP code but also for HTML, JavaScript and CSS. It also includes LESS, SASS, SCSS, SQL etc. 
     Anytime you commit a mistake like mistyped variable, using undeclared variable, not closing HTML tags, write non-optimized code, forget a semicolon (frequently done :P ) in a CSS file, write a longer styles rule when a simpler one is available, or create a nested if-else ladder where some code becomes unreachable - PhpStorm, helps in inspecting your code and report them all to you. The IDE detects a large number of simple and small yet common mistakes you commit as a web developer and reduces the time and frustration usually spent on mundane mistakes. All you need to do is to go to Settings -> Project Settings -> Inspections and turn on the settings you think you need for each supported language.

GRAND THEFT AUTO V TO HAVE CUSTOMISABLE CARS AND WEAPONS



           After the recent release of Grand Theft Auto 5's first gameplay trailer, Rockstar Games had left a few questions unanswered. GTA5's Lead Mission Designer Imran Sarwar has answered some of these questions in a Q&A with GameInformer. The biggest new reveal is the astounding level of customisation options for vehicles. According to Sarwar, there will be thousands of customisation options for cars and bikes. The vehicle customisations, which Rockstar first toyed with in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, will be more deeply integrated into GTA5's mission structure and open world.
           Even weapons will be customisable. Players will be able to walk into Ammu-Nation and start adding new modules to their weapons. The modules include grips to improve accuracy, extended clips that allow a larger number of rounds to be fired between reloads, weapon tints to colour your guns, flashlights, scopes and even suppressors.

MASS EFFECT 4, DRAGON AGE III TO USE FROSTBITE 3 ENGINE



            We already knew that Dragon Age 3 will be using DICE's Frostbite engine, but BioWare's Aaryn Flynn has confirmed that the next game in the company's Mass Effect series will also be powered by the same engine. Both games run on the Frostbite 3 engine, which is the same version that will be used to power Battlefield 4.
            "Foe everyone who's been asking after the BF4 reveal, DA3 and the next Mass Effect are also using Frostbite 3. It's awesome," Flynn tweeted. Some time ago, BioWare Montreak studio director Yanick Roy had tweeted, "This BF4 gameplay video is spectacular, and a great way to see what the engine of the next Mass Effect is capable of!" Check out what the engine is capable of in the Battlefield 4 trailer.

WINDOWS 8.1



          Leaked internal builds of the next Windows release, so far known by its codename "Blue", include code that restore the Start button (to trigger the Modern UI Start screen) but also allow users to boot directly into the Desktop environment. This would eliminate some of the criticism of Windows 8 and help encourage Windows XP and 7 users to upgrade. However, the move could sideline the Windows 8 Modern UI. Allowing users to completely ignore Modern UI would make the new Windows platform much less attractive to developers, resulting in a weaker selection of apps in the Windows Store. It isn't clear how exactly these features might be implemented. A public preview of the update, likely to be named Windows 8.1, is expected in late June.
         Sales of Windows 8, both as a standalone product and preinstalled on new computers, have been weak since its launch in October 2012, thanks in part to slowing global demand for PCs and laptops.

GOOGLE HELPS YOU PLAN DEATH




 
       We have all amassed tonnes of data in our email, social network and online storage accounts, and our ability to decide what happens to all of it once we die has always been in doubt. Writing passwords down for someone else to find is clearly not a good idea, and there's always been the danger of important information being lost for good. Finally, Google has begun to address the problem. The new Inactive Account Manager settings page lets users nominate friends and family members to receive your data, or have it all erased. You can choose an inactivity period between 3 and 12 months, after which your preferred course of action will take place. As a safeguard, warning messages will be sent to your phone or secondary accounts. The data will include +1s, Blogger posts, Picasa albums and YouTube videos. Now, if only there was a way to leave all our purchased apps, music and movies to our next of kin.

SEARCH WEB DIRECTLY FROM THE START MENU




         You need to modify the Windows 7 registry a bit in order to trigger an Internet search directly from the Start menu. To do this, click on 'Start' and type in 'regedit'. Run the program and select the key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer' in the left pane of the editor. If the required key is not available, you can generate a new one by going to 'Edit | New | Key' and then 'Edit | New | DWORD value (32 Bit)' for the entry 'Add Search Internet Link In Start Menu'. You can then double-click this entry to select it, then set the 'Value' to '1' in the dialogue 'Edit the DWORD value (32 Bit)' and confirm with 'OK'. Close the registry editor and start your system again. Now, if you search for a term in the start menu, you will find link 'Search through Internet' in the lost of results. This option opens your browser and searches for your term on the internet using default search engine.

SIMULATE FIREFOX OS ON YOUR PC BROWSER



          Mozilla has launched its Firefox OS. Naturally, the mobile community seems very curious to see just what this new OS will bring to the table, and developers are already building apps and testing it out as they have access to development devices like the Keon and Peak. But they're not the only ones who can use it. There's a simple way to get your own hands-on demo of the new mobile OS before it makes it to your Android mobile. We demonstrate you how to use the OS from within the Firefox browser itself.
         Firefox OS is a Linux-based operating system for smartphones and tablets. It is designed to allow HTML5 applications to integrate directly with the device's hardware using Javascript, and it has been tested on Android-compatible smartphones and Raspberry Pi. You can get a feel of it by using a simulator on your desktop PC. The operating system is based on three major software layers within - Gonk (the Linux kernel), Gecko (the application runtime) and Gaia (the user interface). The desktop build is code-named Boot2Gecko(B2G). It is available on all major PC platforms Windows, Mac and Linux. 
         All you need to get the operating system running on your desktop PC is the Firefox browser extension and of course the browser itself. The procedure is similar to all operating system platforms. Let's get started.

STEP 1: Download and install Mozilla Firefox if you don't have it on your PC. The present version is 23 for Windows and you can download it by visiting http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
STEP 2: Next, you will need the simulator extension. Visit http://goo.gl/PlvNG and download the appropriate file for your operating system. The file is around 67 MB in size and will be downloaded with extension '.XPI'.
STEP 3: Download the file and save it to your desktop. Start Firefox and click on "Tools" and then on "Add-ons". In the tab that will now open up, click on the settings icon on the top right, beneath the search bar. Next, click on "Install Add-on from File". Browse to the desktop, select the .xpi file you just downloaded and click on "Open". In the next dialogue box, click on the "install" button; the Extension will be added in a few seconds. You can install add-ons using the drag-n-drop method too. Simply open Firefox, drag the .xpi file into browser window and Firefox will automatically install it. Restart Firefox if asked to.
STEP 4: That's it! Your system is now ready to stimulate Firefox OS within Firefox. Click on "Tools", then on "Web Developer" and finally on "Firefox OS Simulator". A new tab will open; there will be a simulator button on the left column and you'll see a highlight that it is currently stopped. Click on the icon to start it and a new window will pop up with the smartphone operating system running inside the simulator.

              Have fun checking out the new OS and see what is new. you can play around with the user interface, see what the settings are like and even install new apps from the Marketplace.

UPGRADE WINDOWS 7 TO WINDOWS 8



         Most of the people think upgrading to Windows 8 from Windows 7 includes allocation of huge space on hard disk and deletion of personal files and apps but they are all wrong. Windows 8 installation is more user friendly when compared to all their previous versions of operating system.

        Before you start downloading or getting your windows 8 setup file, please check whether your operating system is x64 or x86 and get the corresponding Windows 8 setup file as x64 wont work on x86 operating system and vice versa. You can check this by just right clicking on "My Computer" and then properties.

        Once you are done with it, follow these steps

 1. Insert your DVD or USB and run the setup file. You can also mount the ISO file using   Daemon tools or any other software. 
 2. You will be prompted with a wizard showing options to install updates, Select "No,thanks" and click Next.
3. Then setup will check your PC and after few seconds you will be asked to enter the product key. I recommend you to get original software so that you can enjoy all the Windows 8 privileges. But it is not compulsory. 
4. Enter your product key and accept the terms and conditions appear on the next page of the wizard.
5. Now here is the tricky part, you will be provided with three option 1. Keep personal files only, 2. keep personal files and apps and 3. Nothing. Based on your need you can select the option. Now since you don't want to lose your files and apps, select the option "Keep personal files and apps" and click Next.
6. Now setup will make your PC ready for installation. Please wait till it completes.
7. Once it completes it may show up few software or apps which are not Windows 8 compatible which include USB 3.0 and Bluetooth. Don't hesitate to uninstall both because Windows 8 provides or supports them by default. Uninstall all the apps and restart the system once, and the setup will continue from the same point, if not start the setup again and it will continue from the same point..
8. Once you have uninstalled all of them, click "Install", and your installation begins. Please wait patiently since it takes maximum 30 minutes.   
9. After that setup prepares your PC for a brand new Windows 8 experience :)
10. Now you can customize your system appearance and setting and enjoy using Windows 8.

NOTE: Once you finish your installation and you can't connect to your internet, just troubleshoot your internet connection and fix the error, and most probably it will work fine after that. If not just download the driver and install it.   

If you have any other issues please contact me.
