Introducing: Twitter Diva
Twitter Diva is just an alias I have given to someone I don’t even know yet
Things I can tell:
1) She is a blogger
2) She uses twitter
3) She is not on my Following Or Followers list (yet)
4) I may or may not have mentioned her ever
Now obviously some would be saying “whaaaaaa? what kind of intro is that!!” but seriously If you know me, you will be thankful that I actually have shared this publicly
Anyways, See you guys later,

How to reset wordpress admin password
I am sure there are many ways to do this, but I am going to tell you the one I use, first let me tell you why I suddenly thought about writing this, if you don’t want to find that out please click here (or scroll down) to go directly to read my own preferred way of resetting wordpress admin password by using a simple PHP script
I found this PakBlogger.Com post on How To Reset WordPress Admin Password Via phpMyAdmin It was shared by Awais Naseer of The Gadgets — one of the very few people who I found interesting enough to stalk using my PC & twitter account I thought I should post my comments there but then I realized I could use my own blog to post a correction Why? Oh well for obvious reasons that you all have guessed by now 😛
It’s a very good post, but there is one thing that can be changed to make it even more simple (it reduces one complete step AND a tab) okay let me quote that part first:
Now open a new tab in your browser and go to MD5 hash and write a password and encrypt that to MD5 hash
Step 5: Now copy this encrypted form and in .phpMyAdmin check the box beside your username and click on the pencil icon to edit the entry and replace the password with newly generated md5hash password that you copied
Click on Go to save the changes and you new password is set
Okay now please check the two images I have posted below (click to magnify):
If you follow that step you won’t have to go to any other site to encrypt your password There is no problem with using 3rd party site for that but why use something when you really don’t have too?
My Preferred Way to Reset WP Admin Password:
Well this was for people who have access to .phpMyAdmin, what if you don’t have access to .phpMyAdmin? What if your access is limited to just FTP? I had that problem recently when I was trying to setup a blog at DaCoolSiteCom, a site that I created to raise funds for my awareness campaign “Thalassemia Free Pakistan”
Well here is the solution for them:
Step 1: (Screenshot)
Download this file “WordPress: Reset Admin Password Script“, Extract & Upload it in your WordPress directory (it must share the same folder with wp-config.php)
Step 2): (Screenshot)
Open it in your browser (ex: http://yoursitecom/wordpress/reset_pass.php)
Step 3): (Screenshot)
Click on your Username, enter a new password and click submit, your password is updated You can login with your new password now
Step 4): (Screenshot)
For security reasons it is advised to either delete OR rename reset_pass.php on your server
It can’t get simpler than that, no?

Google Chrome Super Cool Experiments
When Google Chrome launched last September, it included a powerful JavaScript engine, V8, which was built to make the next generation of web applications perform faster in the browser In the past few months, we’ve reached out to more than a dozen developers and designers to experiment with V8 and to find new and fun uses for JavaScript We worked with REAS, Mr Doob, Ryan Alexander, Josh Nimoy, Mark Mahoney, and Toxi, among others
The results of their experimentation have been great, with each project turning the browser window into an interactive application, a game, or even a piece of art Whether you’re a casual web surfer or an advanced JavaScript developer, we think you’ll appreciate what they’ve achieved
Here’s a preview of what they have built:
Take a look for yourself at Chrome Experiments Although you don’t need Google Chrome to view the site, some of the experiments may run slower, or incorrectly, in older browsers To download Google Chrome, click here
Naturally, we’re looking for more experiments We will update the site regularly and promote the best projects as Featured Experiments So, if you have an idea for a web browser experiment, please build it, make it sparkle, and submit it
We’ll be highlighting more experiments and holding sessions on Google Chrome at Google I/O on May 27 – 28 in San Francisco
