Gasiti coordonatele cu Google Maps

Aceasta pagina foloseste APIul Google Maps pentru a afla cu precizie coordonatele geografice (latitudine si longitudine) pentru orice punct de pe pamant.
Aveti doua posibilitati : prin miscarea iconitei ori prin scrierea adresei,orasului,locului daca nu stiti exact pozitia pe harta. Locatia de start este Alba Iulia – in centrul Romaniei.

Gasiti coordonatele miscand harta

1. Faceti Drag and Drop pe harta pentru a o misca
2. puteti face zoom pentru mai multa precizie 3. Puteti misca markerul pentru a stabili cu exactitate locul caruia doriti sa ii aflati coordonatele geografice. Coordonatele se improspateaza dupa fiecare miscare.

Aflati coordonatele introducand numele si/sau adresa locului cautat

Scrieti adresa intreaga: Strada, numar, oras, tara. Pentru orase mari si locuri faimoase tara este optionala. “Casa Poporului” sau “Sibiu”.

Nuclear vs. Mankind

Posted on March 23rd, 2011 in marketing, people, world | Comments Off

The triumph of coal marketing

Do you have an opinion about nuclear power? About the relative safety of one form of power over another? How did you come to this opinion?

Here are the stats, and here’s the image. A non-exaggerated but simple version of his data:

Deathratewatts

For every person killed by nuclear power generation, 4,000 die due to coal, adjusted for the same amount of power produced… You might very well have excellent reasons to argue for one form over another. Not the point of this post. The question is: did you know about this chart? How does it resonate with you?

Vivid is not the same as true. It’s far easier to amplify sudden and horrible outcomes than it is to talk about the slow, grinding reality of day to day strife. That’s just human nature. Not included in this chart are deaths due to global political instability involving oil fields, deaths from coastal flooding and deaths due to environmental impacts yet unmeasured, all of which skew it even more if you think about it.

This chart unsettles a lot of people, because there must be something wrong with it. Further proof of how easy it is to fear the unknown and accept what we’ve got.

I think that any time reality doesn’t match your expectations, it means that marketing was involved. Perhaps it was advertising, or perhaps deliberate story telling by an industry. Or perhaps it was just the stories we tell one another in our daily lives. It’s sort of amazing, even to me, how much marketing colors the way we see the world–our reaction (either way) to this chart is proof of it.

Backup – restore large mysql databases from shell

Posted on December 27th, 2010 in programming, web | Comments Off

Had to copy a large DB into a new one…Since MySQL Administrator and PHPMyAdmin failed to backup the 3.7Gb Database I was forced to do it from Shell like this:

mysqldump -u user -p db-name > output_file.out
 /*- launch this from the shell as root with the credentials of the source DB*/

mysql -u user -p new_db-name < output_file.out
/* - this will copy from the dump file into the new database.
you can also download the resulting file and use it on
another server - you could do this the old fashion way by
 copying it on your local machine and then upload it to your
 new server and launch the previous command or if you have "scp":*/

scp output_file.out user@remote_ftp_path

Backup database from PHP

Posted on November 25th, 2010 in programming | 1 Comment »

Recently I had to save a DataBase from a server only with FTP access and without any tool like PhpMyAdmin or Cpanel. I had only the FTP credentials, the name of the DataBase and the credentials to access the DataBase.

So if you want to save a database to a file only with the aid of PHP here’s a small function that does the trick:

 function backup_tables($host,$user,$pass,$name,$tables = '*')
{
	$link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
	mysql_select_db($name,$link);
    	//get all of the tables - if the tables parameter is "*" all the tables will be taken
	if($tables == '*')
	{
		$tables = array();
		$result = mysql_query('SHOW TABLES');
		while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
		{
			$tables[] = $row[0];
		}
	}
	else
	{
                 //$tables should be a string of table names separated by coma
		$tables = is_array($tables) ? $tables : explode(',',$tables);
	}

	//cycle through the tables  and build the text to be written into the dump file
	foreach($tables as $table)
	{
		$result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM '.$table);
		$num_fields = mysql_num_fields($result);

		$return.= 'DROP TABLE '.$table.';';
		$row2 = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query('SHOW CREATE TABLE '.$table));
		$return.= "\n\n".$row2[1].";\n\n";

		for ($i = 0; $i < $num_fields; $i++)
		{
			while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
			{
				$return.= 'INSERT INTO '.$table.' VALUES(';
				for($j=0; $j<$num_fields; $j++)
				{
					$row[$j] = addslashes($row[$j]);
					$row[$j] = ereg_replace("\n","\\n",$row[$j]);
					if (isset($row[$j])) { $return.= '"'.$row[$j].'"' ; } else { $return.= '""'; }
					if ($j<($num_fields-1)) { $return.= ','; }
				}
				$return.= ");\n";
			}
		}
		$return.="\n\n\n";
	}

	//save the dump file
	$handle = fopen('db-backup.sql','w+');
	fwrite($handle,$return);
	fclose($handle);
}
