Deprecating ScriptDB and Domain Service in Apps Script
In the last few months, weve added a number of new features to Google Apps Script, including add-ons for Sheets and Docs and 7 new advanced services.
Were eager to maintain that momentum — focusing on new features that help you do more with Google Apps. As a result, were deprecating two Apps Script services for which good replacements exist elsewhere: ScriptDB (a NoSQL database that has been marked as experimental since it was introduced) and the Domain service (which encapsulates the GroupsManager, NicknameManager, and UserManager global objects).
Both ScriptDB and the Domain service will be turned off on November 20, 2014.
Before then, youll need to port any ScriptDB projects to another data store, like Google Cloud SQL or a third-party NoSQL database. Weve created a migration guide that explains how to export your data from ScriptDB and suggests a few alternate data stores. We have also improved the documentation for connecting to external databases through JDBC to make it a little easier for you to set up Cloud SQL with Apps Script.
The Domain service, which only Google Apps domain administrators can use, is replaced by the recently added Admin SDK Directory and Admin SDK Reports advanced services. Those advanced services also provide many new features that the Domain service does not — like managing users devices, OAuth tokens, and application-specific passwords — so we expect that youll prefer using them in the future.

Register Internet Download Manager Manually Free
 |
| Tips and Tricks to register IDM manually |
Using this trick you can register the Internet Download Manager (IDM) for free using your own credentials i.e register on your Name and email ID.
I am explaining the manual registration method because most of my users said that patch and key gen contain viruses.
This tip and trick also works for trail IDM that means download a trail IDM from there site and register the professional i.e. full version of IDM with your credentials for free using my tips and tricks.
Register or crack IDM manually :
Step 1: Download the IDM trial or If you already have IDM installed Update it by going to Help---}} then to check for Updates.Run Android Apps on PC Free
Step 2: Now Go to START => Then go to RUN and type the following text and click enter:
notepad %windir%system32driversetchosts
Step 3: Now right click on hosts file and go to its properties, then go to security tab and then select your admin account, just below u will see an edit button (in front of change permissions), Now give the user full control and write and read rights and then click on apply and then click on Ok, now u will be able to edit the hosts file and save changes in it.
Detail Note about Granting Permission In Windows7:
For Windows 7 users, due to security reasons you will not be able to save hosts file.so follow this steps :
First of all go to C:/ drive then go to Windows Folder and then go to System32 folder and then go to Drivers folder and then go to Etc Folder, in the Etc folder you will see the hosts file.
Now right click on hosts file and go to its properties then go to Security tab select Users under Group or user names and click on edit button,Permission For Host Window will get open, in that window select Users account and grant permission in bellow section which is "Permission for SYSTEM" by clicking all checkbox under "Allow" Name and press Ok.Dnt click on any Deny check box.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Handwriting Book!
Each of the pages has directions to help the kids write the letters. I cant wait to do it with my kiddos, I think it will be a cute little booklet for them to keep!
Im so ready for the first week (even though its not for a few more weeks)... even if Im not ready for waking up at 5am!
Is everyone else getting ready for back to school or are you back in school already? I find it so bizarre that across the U.S. were all on different school schedules, but I guess it all works out somehow! Even if it means we get to watch people talking about "5 days left" on their blog while weve still got 2 months left! Right!?

10 Principles Of Effective Web Design Smashing Magazine
- Link to 10 Principles Of Effective Web Design
"(Web) Users:
- Appreciate quality and credibility!
- Don’t read, they scan!
- Are impatient and insist on instant gratification!
- Don’t make optimal choices.
- Follow their intuition.
- Want to have control (Source)."
No wonder SCORM does not appeal to learners (and educators) (above 5 years old)! Below 5 years old? Only because they think it is some kind of worm, or it sounds cool!
10 PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE WEB DESIGN?
- Don’t make users think!
- Don’t squander users’ patience!
- Manage to focus users’ attention!
- Strive for feature exposure!
- Make use of effective writing!
- Don’t be afraid of the white space!
- Strive for simplicity!
- Communicate effectively with a “visible language”!
- Conventions are our friends!
- Test early, test often!
If this does not make any sense, click here to read between the lines.

Installation of Pentaho 5 0 1 CE in windows 7 changes made from previous version
First of all, Id like to thank you to the web details team for the efforts they kept in bringing up the powerful analytical engine(BA server).
The home page itself make you to stick with BA server where you can enter into the server with "admin" and "password" as the default credentials.. Yes, "joe" user is no more but he left with the same password to log into BA server.
There will be NO more admin console ... Now it is very easy and developer friendly to navigate in one console(User Console) to give data base connections and new roles for new users..
A lot of stuff included in the home page itself, giving the blogs links, books on different tools of pentaho family. In a single word I can say , All the stuff related to Pentaho at a single place. A BI developer like me can reduce the time for developing reports, dashboards , jobs.
Market place for installing C-Tools and the installed plug-ins list drop down is one of the good ideas of the team.
As quick as Pentaho released its CE 5.0.1 , I just downloaded and trying to explore the new look and navigating from all the menus, reports, connection places and etc.
Its very easy to install the pentaho CE BA now in windows...
Installation procedure :
1) Down load the software as a .zip file using this link .
2) Unzip it in your fav folder
3) Click on start-pantaho.bat file
Home page :
NOTE: path and class path for java must be set before the installation.
