Selecting columns text using Firefox
Posted by: Nuwan Sameera on: December 8, 2008
Today I got a very difficult problem when selecting content of a table to copy and paste. I wanted to get contents (Data) which include each and every columns separately copy and paste to a Notepad. But you know when u highlight particular table will be highlight entire table as follow. I think you may have faced this situation.
So we cannot get a column content only. Fortunately I am using firefox 3.0.4 supported to do it. This is the way to select a column of a table.
Just click Ctrl and keeping hold, highlight a table moving mouse on a column which you need to get data. Then you can paste into a Notepad or excel sheet.
In addition you can select any row at a table.
And I check this ability within Opera, IE7 and Safari, but they don’t come with this option. Be work with Open source Firefox great Browser.
MySQL 5.0.51a Installation for Windows Vista
Posted by: Nuwan Sameera on: December 8, 2008
Since last week end I stared to learn Ruby and Rails. And I tried to work with RoR and MySQL as database. But RoR is not easy to support installation at Windows vista. To me this was a very big thing to configure RoR and MySQL.
Unfortunately RoR and MySQL will connect only 5.0.51a.
So I had to install mysql 5.0.51a.
Again I got a problem when installing MySQL 5.0.51a at vista. Error is “side-by-side configuration is incorrect“.
The problem is occur when you go to configure MySQL (Mysql Server Instance Config Wizard). There is a problem with the MySQLInstanceConfig.exe in Mysql 5.0.51a version.
This is the procedure which I did to overcome form this problem.
- First install MySql 5.0.51a at vista
- The best practice is disable the UAC currect account in Windows Control Panel->User Accounts.
- As next step is just download and install Resource Hacker and run it.
- Go through Resource Hacke and just open the file menu chooser. And browse to MySQL installation’s directory which locate bin. (C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin) Now you can select MySQLInstanceConfig.exe
- Navigate to 24 –> 1 –> 1033 in the tree that appears in the Resource Hacke view.
- Find <requestedExecutionLevel level=”asAdministrator” uiAccess=”false”>
- Change to <requestedExecutionLevel level=”requireAdministrator” uiAccess=”false”>
- click”Compile script” button and leave Resource Hacker and save the result by overwriting the initial MySQLInstanceConfig.exe at your installation.
This is the normal way to fix this bug and should be work MySQLInstanceConfig.exe in correctly.

Human feeling and Animal
Posted by: Nuwan Sameera on: December 4, 2008
Last night I watch a bit old film. It is “THE BEAR“. Not like other film it was a quite different form normal and regularly (funny and action) film. And I wondered the dialogs are very few. Just activities and feeling are representing and acting without any speaking. It was very interesting to me find more about this nice film.
This story will run with Bear hunters and two Bears. There are nice and funny acting had a little Bear. It was very nice. Now I am not going to tell the story which this film include. But when I finished watching I got feel what the human mind and the Animal mind.
Human always are going to hunt others life and their resource. This may be happen every Human. You know, we are like to see be happy and everything going to be ok! And if anybody hurt to somebody, they are not going to solve the problem. Always go to fight. But what the film say “hunter shoots to the Bear, and hunter finding and follow to catch Bear. Finally Bear capture hunter”. But Bear is not going to kill that people, just telling something and leave to jungle.
So this story will bring a good new to the Human. But today Humans are more different each other. Why don’t think like that?
Enjoying with your heart is the wealth
Posted by: Nuwan Sameera on: February 20, 2008
“vinsanda”(this is Sinhala word) means Enjoying with your heart is the wealth which contain title of the blog.
Most of the people believe that wealth is Money, Lands, Vehicles and she/he position etc. The people who are In 21th century formed to this life style. So they are really happy to that and it has been needs in society. The technologies of 21th century is developing quickly and the requirements of human has increased. To fulfill any requirements of human, the company( large scale, medium or smaller ) is ready in world economic. Really people have a game to win, and people have to face to big competition according to life style. Sometime this competition has caused innovation of technologies and new society around the world.
Human always look for contentment, happiness, compatible life. I think this should be good idea in the human mind. As a human should have like that mind and concept. That is the point which the world existence.
But I have a problem How can meet with contentment, happiness to our life. If ask somebody how to get those things, most people will tell money is the first and money will meet everything which human prefer.
According to some of the situation money have become first of all. No matter money won’t change people life. But I seem money has changed 21td century people life. I think the people should control the money but today world money is controlling the people. This is the bad case in real world. The human happiness also hand over to the money.
If anybody think little bit what the human happiness is, will be able to find out it really cannot get using money. I believe human happiness contain his mind and heart. It cannot be get spending money.
* Helping peoples who are poor or inability earn foods.
* Helping poor children.
as well as practice to simple life style, limited human requirements, keep good knowledge by reading great book or articles etc.
Finally if you have a strong mind and great idea, then you can happy any time. Great people in 21td century and their wealth would be Enjoying with their heart.
