Gillette: The first ad written on a hair

Post pobrano z: Gillette: The first ad written on a hair

No one gets closer to men than Gillette. And to prove this Gillette used nanotechnology to write their ad campaign on a man’s shaven beard.The ads were created using an electron microscope at The University of Nottingham. The smallest ad is written on the tip of a man’s hair and under 100 microns in size, it is currently being verified by the Guinness World Records as the world’s smallest ad. Blown up versions of these ads formed a print and poster campaign. The actual hairs were then placed in men’s bathrooms at airports where they would typically freshen up. With the hairs was a QR code through which people could access extra content showing what was on the hair.

HeidiSQL – Free Front-End For MySQL & MSSQL

Post pobrano z: HeidiSQL – Free Front-End For MySQL & MSSQL

Advertise here with BSA

Most of the MySQL users will remember MySQL-Front, a very popular database manager application which later on stopped being developed (and turned into a paid application by another team).

The developer of this application, Ansgar Becker, re-launched this project under the name HeidiSQL, it is again free + open source and improved regularly.

HeidiSQL can connect to multiple databases and besides creating/editing databases, tables, views, stored routines and triggers, it has support for scheduling events (great for regular jobs like backups).

HeidiSQL

Databases and records can be exported or imported with multiple formats and its even possible to transfer a database directly into another server.

Currently experimental but HeidiSQL can now connect and manage MSSQL databases which is awesome for anyone working with both platforms.

There are many other handy features offered like optimize/repairing tables, duplicating them or query editing with syntax highlighting.
