Comments(0) Occasionally I like making paper airplanes but I knew how to create only three or four models. The reference below which I’ve found recently shows how to make 12 (!) different types of paper airplanes. Should be fun to try other models and see which one flies faster. 
And which one is your favorite?
Comments(0) ‘Professors don’t read books, they write them!’
This was a favorite phrase of one of my university professors. It has its own deep meaning but also always made me want to write a book.
Recently I’ve run into another somewhat similar quote, ‘Harvard undergraduates believe that inventing a job is better than finding a job.’ This one actually came from the movie Social Network.
I think both phrases kind of hint that it is important to step out of the box and look at something from a different angle. Why does not one create something new instead of saying something is not good or suitable for him/her?
On a side note another saying I like to refer is ‘a rising tide lifts all boats’, actually to its implication. It’s easy to grow when everything else is growing but it is even more important to understand how to survive a low-tide.
Comments(0) Apparently there is a pretty straight forward way to recover MySQL password. Although server root access is mandatory it is great solution in certain cases like recovering password of abandoned test server or when server was configured by someone else etc.
The key for success is to be able to (re)start MySQL using -skip-grant-tables option. In that case MySQL won’t ask for password.
Then simply reset MySQL password and restart MySQL ordinarily.
Details for each step are described by Vivek Gite in Recover MySQL root Password.
