The complete review of the LG's watch and Android Gear.

Its been like 2 weeks since I got a LG's G watch. So here I go with all of the good, bad and ugly things about the LG's G watch and Android Grear.

So first lets go over the specs.
OS                    Android Wear (Compatible with Android 4.3+)
STRAP            22mm (0.86inch) Changeable Watch Strap
SCREEN            1.65” IPS LCD
DIMENSIONS   37.9x46.5x9.95 mm
BATTERY    400 mAh
PROCESSING   Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 400 processor with 1.2GHz CPU
MEMORY    512 MB / 4 GB
SENSORS    9 Axis (Accelerometer/Compass/Gyro)

So why g watch instead of samsung.
1. It was a gift so .... but even if I wanted to buy I would have got g watch instead of samsung's.
2. 400 mAh of battery compared to 300 of samsungs.
3. LCD screen, dont think I am crazy, its a small watch and I think one doesn't need a high res screen which eats up more power.
4. Read and watched loads of reviews, where everyone was talking about how comfortable it is to wear all day compared to samsungs. I would definitely go for comfort over the looks. As I know samsung has better looks.
4. How easy it is to charge compared to samsungs.

Lets talk about the watch. Look wise it's a very simple watch with good hardware. In my life I have used PCs with 128 MB of ram so I don't have any complains about the any of the hardware.
But there is loads of lags while sliding the screens

One can even change the uri on the last line of the above snippet, like stats uri /haproxy_stats or whatever one wants. To make sure you have not done any mistake in the config file, one can use the following command to validate. haproxy -c -f haproxy.cfg Once everything looks good, restart the haproxy process and stats GUI should be available at 19.41.259.10:1234/hapro

Sending a SIGHUP signal to some external process from Python script

Code : import psutil import os import signal pids = psutil.get_pid_list() for pid in pids: if psutil.Process(pid).name == "process_name": os.kill(pid,signal.SIGHUP) break Steps to follow. 1.Get the PID of the process, in this case  "process_name"   to which you want to send out a SIGHUP signal. 2.Use os.kill(pid,sig) command to send out the SIGHUP signal to that process. 1.Get the PID of the process to which you want to send out a SIGHUP signal. One has to install a package called psutil by the following command. easy_install psutil Check out the following links for more details https://code.google.com/p/psutil/ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil use psutil.get_pid_list() to get all of the PIDs. psutil.get_pid_list() works in the following manner.  pids = [ int ( x ) for x in os . listdir ( '/proc' ) if x . isdigit ()] return pids once you get all the PIDs get the PID you are i

How to enable Openstack Octavia, LBaaS V2 with devstack.

Little Intro to Octavia. Octavia is a service manager for Openstack Load balancer as a service. Neutron LBaaS V2 plugin talks to Octavia through Octavia driver. Octavia driver talks to Octavia api(o-api) and that in turn talks to Octavia control worker(o-cw). Neutron LBaaS V2 Plugin ----> Octavia plugin driver -----> o-api ----> o-cw Other than o-api and o-cw Octavia has 2 more components, housekeeping(o-hk) and health manager(o-hm). o-api Octavia api server which receives all the request from octavia LBaaS driver and passes it to o-cw. o-cw It's the main workhorse, it creates the load balancer VMs( amphorae ), configures them. o-hk keeps track of spare amphorae. o-hm Manages the health of the amphorae through heartbeats, collects the stats and takes care of fail over by creating a new amphora when it fails to get the heartbeat.
