Run WhatsApp on Android SDK without a phone

Update @ 2013-8-25: You can consider Whatsapp Plus as suggested by harish.

Update @ 2012-11-13: Anyone could confirm the following solution work or not?

WhatsApp requires a SIM-Card. I know from various xda-developers discussions, that it’s easier to do a backup from whatsapp on your phone with titanium backup, and then restore it inside your VM. But, the message database is local and messages are not synced across identical accounts.

Reference: CrazyEngineers – Unable to Install Whatsapp on ubuntu; help!!!

Update @ 2012-9-23: This maybe a temporary workaround but only for people who already running whatsapp with his device.
WhatsApp Web Client

Update @ 2012-08-07: I have tried on both BlueStacks and Android emulator. Both of them have connection problem. Seems the Whatsapp server somehow blocked the verification. Currently seems no way to run Whatsapp on PC. =.=

Would that be a proxy problem? Anyone could complete the verification?

 

Since i dun have a smart phone~ My friend Simon blames me as he can’t reach me with WhatsApp. So he sent me a Taiwan blog post about using WhatsApp in PC and now i translate the steps in English.

1. Download and install the Java SDK. (Download Java 7)

2. Download the Android SDK @ Android Developer

3. Extract the Android SDK and run the SDK Manager.exe

Drupal 7 – Add Javascript files on specific paths by custom module

In the past, i always added js files on theme level. This is not a good approach because the aggregated theme js will be quite large and it is loaded on every pages even js code is not used.

So this time i try to add the js on specific path only when it is needed. This is done by creating a custom module. Let’s name the custom module eureka_js.

1. Inside the eureka_js module folder, we have the following files.

  • js/eureka.js
  • eureka_js.info
  • eureka_js.module

Working with menus in Drupal 7 @ 3

We have Special menu items module and Nice Menus which makes Drupal menu editing much more convenient.
Working with menus in Drupal 7 @ 1 – Special menu items module
Working with menus in Drupal 7 @ 2 – Nice Menus

But there is a bug when using both of them together. After you setup a Nice menu and you set the parent menu item path to <nolink>, the hyperlink is still there. Continue reading Working with menus in Drupal 7 @ 3

李怡 – 快樂的兩個層次

親友拜年或電話短訊拜年,說得最多的一句話,就是「新年快樂」。達賴喇嘛去年底在印度的一場演說的開頭是:「每個人都渴望能過幸福快樂的人生。沒有人每天一早起床時,會希望自己最好整天煩惱不斷。」

快樂與逸樂,和悲傷痛苦一樣,都是人類心智的一部分,是自我的感覺。達賴說,他跟世界許多科學家接觸,發現他們都無法明確分辨感官(sensory)層次和心理(mental)層次的意識。但這二者是有明顯差別的。

人們通常追求的歡樂,多半是感官的層次。例如,好看的東西,好聽的音樂,好吃的、好聞的、摸起來舒服的,或者性的歡愉。這些感官經驗都很短暫,好聽的音樂停止,縱會回味,畢竟快樂也消失了。相對的,人們在心理層次發展出的快樂經驗,則可以持久,而且比較平靜、安詳、穩定。
