There are a couple of resolutions on My plate for this year. More writing is one of them. Every new day starts with Browser, So starting this year first blog post regarding Browsers.
Its often asked what’s your favourite browser. I prefer to use Chrome and Firefox simultaneously. Firefox for mailing and development purpose. And Chrome for social and surfing purpose. Its nothing like chrome is bad for development, just that I started development with Firefox before chrome was born. Thus Development still goes on with Firefox.
So here is the List of Browser Add-ons / Extension for our favourite Browsers.
#1 – LastPass
Password manager that makes your life easier for generating, storing, sharing a password. For mobile, you might need a premium account. Rest is free for desktop apps.
#2 – uBlock Origin
An Open Source Adblocker to give you better surfing experience. Neutrality and Transparency are always important, with uBlock Origin, everything is transparent on Github.
#3 – Grammarly
I remember the comment from some distant relative of Mine in 2008, to improve grammatical mistakes. Grammarly is Addon that helps me now.
I can’t imagine a browser without above three add-ons. What are your must-have add-ons for a browser? do share in comments or tweet me @fitehal
If you are the EasyEngine user, and facing Downloading WordPress [Fail] Error on creating a new website, then here is the reasoning and quick fix to solve the issue.
Here is the blog post on the official EasyEngine blog about how to fix it and the causes for same.
While official post recommends using the nightly build of WP CLI, I prefer avoiding Nightly release. Just remove nightly arg from mentioned command, it will be like following
sudo wp –allow-root cli update
It will update WP CLI to the stable one. The default version of WP CLI in EasyEngine I was using was 0.24.1, on the update, now it is version 1.4.0.
Hope EE4.0 upcoming major release will be using latest binaries of dependencies.
This Weekend had many things happening around. WordCamp Bhopal and ViaLux Anomaly in Mumbai were on the same day 24th Sept 2016. I was supporting offline to my team in my Second Ingress Anomaly. The result is here Mumbai is Blue.
WordCamp Bhopal was my first WordCamp in Central India. All camps those I attended were in West Part of India. (I missed Jabalpur and Delhi). Despite living in Nagpur(Center of India), I’ve never been to Bhopal. I hardly discover the Madhya Pradesh. WordCamp Bhopal and #WWWP5k was a great plan to explore the unknown city.
Train Journey Begin around 1 PM. I reached Bhopal by 7.30 PM. Mobile Networking took me some time to figure out that Vodafone Calling is working fine and Airtel’s Internet is working in Bhopal. It seems mobile network is some big-time issue in Capital of Madhya Pradesh.
The initial plan for #wwwP5k walking in Lake Capital Bhopal was to complete Bhopal Religious mission and some Portal upgrades in Bhopal with @Maximus175. Due to some medical emergency, he was not available, so aborted the Mission, just upgraded portals. After upgrading Portals, I joined Milesweb Team at Lake Side Ashoka’s Thus the Urban Socialite at Bada Talab.

Lovely Food at beautiful Location, We talked about city & community activities.
Day 2 Bhopal.
Day Started little late at 7.30, so we rushed toward the WC Venue.
Apart from talks, it was a great pleasure meeting people from SwiftIdeas, InkThemes, ThemeIsle. Various Conversation about themes, development strategies continued throughout the day.
I was disappointed to know students at LNCT do not know that “Nagpur was Capital of Madhya Pradesh”. 🙁
Nagpur has its charm. At the end of day Announcement from LNCT College was the Great. An official Meetup Place in Bhopal.
Overall WCBhopal was a great day spent. Meanwhile, Amit and I were monitoring ViaLux Activities in Intel Map & Telegram. We enjoyed the winning moment.
I started my return journey, with Chattisgarh Express at 7 PM with some Delhi University geology students visiting MP for Educational Tour. I was surprised to see their knowledge about wildlife. Conversion continued the late night. Reached Nagpur By 3 AM. This was the Time I started with my #WWWP5K Walk playing Ingress from Station to Famous Zero Mile Stone of India, so no photos of #WWWP5K Walk.
Aditya Picked me up From Zero Mile, we had some next week planning on Jalebi Poha at Shankar Nagar and ended into Bed.
I’m still exchanging thoughts with new connects from Bhopal, I look forward to meeting them in WordCamp Nashik
This happened to me today, I found old project codes without SQL dump. Just want to check if project is still reusable. Following are the two ways you can recover database schema from FRM file.
Using mysqlfrm utility by oracle
This is pretty handy command line utility from MySQL Team. Check out the official Documentation.
Online version of mysqlfrm
This is not official one, but TwinDB team created Database Recovery portal to generate schema from .idb and .frm files. Must be using mysqlfrm utility behind the UI.
This log is for future reference purpose, If you have any other tool, please mention it in comments.
you are Lucky if you are done in first run. But if you found “AP Mode Not Supported” Message. you need to dig-in like me. its driver issue. all you need to hunt for correct drivers. Follow article linked Below
I’m not writing a review of an OS, just my experiences. Friday Evening Studio’s Hard-disk Crashed 🙁
With New hard-disk I decided to tryout a New OS – Elementary OS Freya 0.3 Launched Last week. Freya is pretty impressive. It is based on Ubuntu 14.04. so the awesomeness is carried. (at least I thought while installation).
My Desktop
Desktop looks & will remain pretty clean , as you can’t add folders or shortcuts like other Desktops. right click on desktop has no context menu. Must be other way to add, not yet discovered.
Workspace Manager
Multiple workspace manager is the most decent I’ve ever seen. smooth and elegant.
Hot Corners
Hot Corners – Yet another cool feature, but I feel with little tweaks in Unity tweak tool you have more corners in Ubuntu.
Terminal made for simpler, easier and safer
When it comes to Linux, we can’t live without terminal. I like the way Elementary OS team worked on UI and Usability part of terminal. OS seems to be developed for non tech users along with Tech Users. Ctrl+V gives you a nice warning before you execute some commands that needs SU Permissions.
Applications Menu
Plenty of Applications, Nice Layout great UI Experience. Couple of Inbuit apps, Geary – Mail Client, Audience – Video Player, Midori – Light weight Browser. Maya Calender beautiful notification system.
Well I can’t live without couple of my set of tools : Skype, Libre office, Gimp, notepad++, Firefox, Chrome, pidgin, and more.
While Setting up Development Environment, Encountered with Easy Engine does not supported Elementary OS. Well this is not that big concern I feel.
Easy Engine Not Supported
Looking forward for update from Rahul & his Team. So I’ve to install LEMP Stack Manually.
Virtual box is good, Setup a Nexus device using Genymotion. Over all system performance is Good.
But With my bad habit of using Tweet-deck in chrome + reading in Firefox + Development in npp + Gimp for some graphics and a VM. and this beautiful graphical inter-phase is too much for my Dell Studio 15.
Logging Off
I’m logging off from Freya. it is Good and Promising usability. You guys can give a try.

It’s been more than four years I’ve been using, communicating & contributing to WordPress Blogging Community. Last Month Rohit from Blogsolute asked me to join WCBaroda. I didn’t waste time to plan my visit for Baroda – a Beautiful city located in Gujarat.
It was excellent to meet them personally after having long time communication with virtual faces. Many were new. It was awesome journey with likeminded peoples. Won’t dig more about the event, Rahul Bankar and other bloggers have already said many things about lt.?
Following are few Resources those come up in our two days discussion. (That’s my perception, many more were discussed.)
