softwares for keyboard geeks

I am not a keyboard geek though but i love to use keyboard a lot cause it’s fist and it’s handy :) .

Recently i have started using some application launcher to fasten my activities. These are really handy. Lets have a look at those.

Launchy

Launchy is an application launcher. It does the job like kind of windows 7’s start search. But unlike of that , it’s not good at a hell lot of things , it’s good at only particularly one thing. That is application launching.

lauchy

You have to just show some folders to index it will then allow you to search in that folder.It can include exe files , directory names and also any kind of files or some definite file types if you want but then you have to play with the settings.

lauchy

Lauchy is very user friendly. You can start using this just after downloading.

Executor

Executor is another one with more advanced feature. Literally , it starts where launchy ends.Executor supports keywords and most probably one of the most powerful application launcher in the town. It lacks in only one field, that is user friendliness. It takes some time to cope up with it and i have to say it’s not for beginners.

Search and replace values in mysql

Some days ago i was trying to find out a way to search and replace a string in mysql table. This string was all over the rows , in most of the tables . At first i googled for the solution as i do usually. Then i found a very strange and unique solution . That is a really weird solution but very effective. What that is ????

Here is the workflow of that :

  1. Dump the sql file.
  2. Open the sql file in a text editor.
  3. Hit CTRL+H (to open find and replace dialog box ).
  4. Put the string you want to replace in the search box.
  5. Put the string you want to replace with in the replace box.
  6. Hit enter.
  7. Save the file.
  8. Drop all the tables in the database.
  9. Import the modified sql file.
  10. Voila , you are done :)

yup , it’s that simple but fast and powerful technique.
