Tracking redirects with google analytics

I have tried to use php headers, but no success. Google analytics cant track page with php header location.

meta tag is not good way for me... so i found fastest redirector with javascript.

Here is code:

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-******-*']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
_gaq.push(function() {
      setTimeout(function() {
        window.location = "http://pilotaz.blogspot.com";
    }, 250);
});
(function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

It is a simple google analytics script with window.location method in function. 

How to get microphone icon to the iphone keyboard

Your question might look like this:

• How do you get the mic icon on the iPhone keyboard
• How to get microphone icon to the iOS keyboard
• How to get the mic icon on keyboard of iphone 4

and so on..

The microphone shows ability to speak and transform voice into text. Ability exists only on devices which supports SIRI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siri_(software)

How to activate

If you have device which supports SIRI, just go to:

Settings -> General -> Siri -> On.

For the moment SIRI is available to few languages and don't has such languages as Russian or Lithuanian and others...

My self i was looking for application which could send voice / text to contact.

I found few, but they are not enough good, because of my voice or software understandings ( bugs, problems ) and so on.

Here are list of application which transforms voice into text:

1. Voice SMS with voice ( Not free ) https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/voice-sms-with-voice-contact/id562741052?mt=8
2. Voice Dictation simple vocal ( FREE ) https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/voice-dictation-simple-vocal/id574941204?mt=8
3. Dragon Dictation ( FREE ) https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/dragon-dictation/id341446764?mt=8
4. Voice Dictation ( FREE ) https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/voice-dictation/id640045824?mt=8

But none of them are good enough to use everyday. 

Send voice

Solution for this is just to send voice file.

There are some problems and applications for this.

Problem is that user must has "user account" to receive files.

Most popular application is 

1. Whatsapp

But it is not free, and you need to have account there. 

Most my contacts don't has whatsapp account, so i cant contact them with it.

Better solution

As iPhone freebie user, i don't buy at all.

If you are so as me, than i suggest to try this awesome application:

1. Facebook messenger. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/facebook-messenger/id454638411?mt=8

It is free, and it allows you to record message with voice and just to send the voice file. 

1. Optimized voice files.

2. Most of people now has Facebook.

3. You can write text messages.

4. And much more.

How to clean Gmail fast

If you didnt deleted mails from your gmail for ages, and you want to delete some of them and archive other ones than you came to right place.

Here is how to do it.

Sing up on mailstrom ( https://mailstrom.co )

You need to use the great tool.
With the tool I deleted / archives 16000 emails ( something like ~1 hour... work )

Here how it works
You give access to your gmail. The tool scans for titles and mails names and groups them.

Here is some suggestions how to clean.
1. Delete all social mails ( junk, right? )
2. Check mails grouped by size ( More than 10 mb ).
3. Finally go to section group by Time and delete / archive everything
3.1 My method: After click certain time label , i unckeck mails which ill archive., after i press delete button. Once mails sent to delete i double press on "uncheck/check all" checkbox to select all mails which are left. Once they are selected i archive them. It takes about 5-15 secs per Time label. ( +5-30 extra load )

So if you have like 40 time labels, it will take you like 40 x 1min = 40 minutes to delete everything.

OpenX remove Trojan program HEUR:Trojan.Script.Iframer

So for last few days i was faced with the Trojan which was injected into OpenX.

So here is my guide how to remove it.

1. First of all create
`banners` copy like `banners_2` ( so it be backup if you will need it ).

2. Lanch the query to remove unwanted virus / trojan code snippets

UPDATE `banners` SET `htmltemplate` = '', `htmlcache` = '', `append` = ''
WHERE 1
AND
(
`htmltemplate` LIKE '%BrowserDetect%' OR `htmltemplate` LIKE '%function hex2a(hex)%' OR`htmlcache` LIKE '%BrowserDetect%' OR ` htmlcache ` LIKE '%function hex2a(hex)%' OR`append` LIKE '%BrowserDetect%' OR ` append ` LIKE '%function hex2a(hex)%')

[EDIT]
Launch same query for zones table

UPDATE `zones` SET `append` = ''
WHERE 1
AND
(
`append` LIKE '%BrowserDetect%' OR ` append ` LIKE '%function hex2a(hex)%')

[EDIT end]

3. Do OpenX update to latest version ( 2.8.9 for current moment )

4. After you update your OpenX, lanch query at (2) for one more time.

5. At this stage you will need to clear cache or just wait to renew it by itself.. I didnt deleted it, so i cant tell you anything about how to do it. If you OpenX is huge i dont recommend you to delete it., better ask someone who knows anything about "grep" ( Google scan command? ).
Cache exists in var/cache/

[EDIT]
6. After all this cleanings we still couldn't find the trojan by itself, but banners and zones position were infected from time to time...
Solution for this was to limit`append` field attribute length to '10' symbols. It helped us for now...
[EDIT end]

These are steps which we took and a bit more..

Hope it will help you. Good luck, you will need it.

p.s. a bit more information can be fount here:

Multiple mysql insert quiery

i was trying to insert a lot ( 1.000.000 ) values into single table with single query, because inserting each value takes much longer time.

table looks like:

id , value

so solution is to create array with php of the values:

code:

    $insert = array();

    for($i=0;$i<=950000;$i++)

    {

      $insert[] = "('".md5(rand(0,1000))."')";

    }

and then executing the query:

$sql = "INSERT INTO `skelbimai` ( `value` ) VALUES ".implode(",",$insert)." ";

ALSO

You might have problem with time limit. so i set up this limit:

set_time_limit(1800);

Also you might have problem with memory_limit, so use it:

ini_set('memory_limit', '150M'); 

Good luck.
