I want to see it now. Take me there!

WHAT YOU NEED

1.A tall ceramic coffee mug or clear glass 

2.A tea spoon or a small silver spoon 

3.An used CD or a bunch of used CDs

4.Constant air stream from a fan or open window

WHAT YOU DO

1.Put the CD on top of the ceramic coffee mug.
2.Slide the narrow end of the tea spoon through the hole in the middle of the CD [The spoon should be short so it doesn't touch the bottom of the mug. The top of the spoon should swing back and forth facing the direction of the incoming air stream. The bottom of the spoon should tap on the inside wall of the coffee mug] Depending on the flow of air, the spoon chimes nonstop.
3.Put the coffee mug with the spoon facing an air source with a steady stream of air like a table fan, ceiling fan or open window so the chiming can begin.

REMEMBER

NOTE 1: Thirsting for a complete audio/visual experience? 

Try a clear glass instead of the ceramic mug.

NOTE 2: Only have a long spoon but plenty of used cds? 

Stack as many cds as you need to raise the height so the head of the spoon would swing back and forth without touching the bottom!

NOTE 3: Spoon too heavy and moves CD around easily? 

Stack a bunch of CDs to make them stable. Possibly try gluing them.

NOTE 4: No chime, stops soon? 

Move the CD or CD stack gently around to get the spoon to chime the best way it can.

NOTE 5: Had enough, need to stop? 

When you are tired of the music, would rather not annoy others or if it's time for the next cup of hot java, just pull out the spoon for the chiming to stop!

NOTE 6: Want some health benefit? 

Blow on it gently for a few minutes daily for a refreshing breathing exercise!

It's a big bad world of confusion and noise around us. Create an ambiance of quiet calm when you need it and also save the planet by reusing everyday objects like used CDs. Spend some time to assemble your own little personal chime that is waiting to be useful to you everyday of your coffee-drinking or tea-drinking existence!

1.Get webalizer working from cPanel
It is assumed that you already have Webalizer installed on your cPanel. If not, have your hosting provider authorize installation and configuration of Webalizer from your cPanel and wait till you have enough data to display. We can't show an empty chart! ;)

2.Create a cronjob to copy the usage image to your webroot
Login to your account, create a cronjob to copy the usage.png file from Webalizer directory to public_html. Let it run a few minutes after every Webalizer run. The following runs it at 13.45 everyday after my default scheduled Webalizer run at 1.30pm. This will refresh it once every day.


<div style="color:black;background-color:silver; width: 250px;
margin:0 auto;border:1px dotted;text-align:center;">
<div style="height:30px;color:springgreen;font-weight:bold;background-color:black;padding:3px;">Sqlhtm.com-SiteStats</div>
<div style="text-align:center;padding:3px;">
<a href="usage.png" target="_blank">
<img src="usage.png" width="240px" alt="WebalizerSiteStats"></a>
<a style="color:black;font-size:6pt;">Webalizer Widget-Sqlhtm.com</a></div></div>

4.Modify the code above to match your needs
Copy the code to your page and change
a) The site name [in green color] in the heading on top of the code block
b) The font-colors and the background colors [in green color] in the first and the second <divs> of the code block as needed. [The code block, as it is, makes a widget looking like the first of the four-widget image above].

NOTE: Location of the image file
We are using relative path names for the image file in the <a> and <img> tags. They point to the usage.png [in green color] at webroot[public_html]. Change the cronjob to copy it to the public_html/images directory and also change the above 2 tags here to point to it to keep in line with best practices.

Test the widget width and make sure everything works
Put this code at the appropriate location on your page such as the LHS or RHS sidebar. Change the width [in green color] to match your requirements. Test the widget by refreshing it manually if you can or wait till the next scheduled webalizer run completes. The current month bar may seem to grow slowly if you have low values. The horizontal dividers carve out the chart on the x-axis in equal chunks so that values for the other bars can be guessed accurately.

Limitations
The chart displays only the highest values in numbers for pageviews, visits and KBs for the whole 12-month period on the left and right sides of the chart. The numbers won't change if the current values don't exceed the all-time yearly high values. So this widget is only useful as a graphical summary of the whole year.

Another drawback is that this widget is not live. It is only as new as your last webalizer run! A page refresh updates it to the last webalizer run.

Log analyzer as traffic widget? Versatile Webalizer!
Are you using webalizer as a log analyzer only? Let it be your website traffic widget too! I love this simple, easy, bright and colorful DIY Webalizer sitestat widget, don't you?

NUT & SCREW
DIY NAIL CUTTER "RE-PAIR"
Savings won't even buy you coffee, dude, be warned!

What are the most satisfying minutes of your weekly routine if you are a married man with children?


Probably the saturday mornings when you sit together after your morning coffee or tea, watching your wife groom your toddlers: cutting nails, checking ear-wax, oiling and combing hair. Keeping the children in one place is a chore in itself!


Or, the idle time after these, when you push the morning newspaper and the clipped coupons away, turn off the radio and TV, and just stay idle - with may be the music player coming back to life every now and then! Time seems to stand still. You enjoy the peace and quiet but the children have gone on their happy-go-breaking-stuff routine. They have some top-priority grafitti to complete on the newly-painted walls today. 


Did I hear nail cutting? Where is the nail cutter? It's broken but can't throw it away, must try a DIY  on it. Not for saving a million dollars but just for the DIY thrill.


Okay, so you've got the top lever and the bottom cutters. But where's the central pin, the one that holds the lever and the bottom together? It's gone! How did it fall off? The top lever probably exceeded the spin count destined for it when it was manufactured and broke off!


Get a wire nut and a screw from the tool box. Keep the top lever in the cutting position over the bottom-base that has the nailfile and put the screw in place of the central pin top down through the center. Close the screw bottom with the wire nut and turn until it's tight. Now you can start using the "RE-PAIRED" nail cutter as ever!


How well it works for you will depend on the size and fit of the screw and wire nut and your patience-quotient. Everything fit well for me and I hope it does for you too!

Now, don't go breaking the central pin in all the good nail cutters in your home to experiment and blame me if you end up with a blotched attempt, okay?


TIP:
Before cutting nails, pull out the little nail-file at a 25-45 degree angle so you can get a really good grip of the nail-cutter instead of complaining (like I always did) about how slippery it is on your fingers! I must thank an open-source picture of a nail clipper that suddenly reminded me of this trick recently, but I have used this before in my life every now and then.
