Pinba — A MySQL storage engine and monitoring server

Pinba is a MySQL plugin and storage engine that acts as a real-time monitoring and statistics server for PHP. Its main goal is to let developers monitor their PHP scripts, locate bottlenecks, and direct attention to the code that most needs it.

2. Installation requirements
--------------------------------

Pinba requires MySQL 5.1.x sources to be built and MySQL 5.1.x installation to run. MySQL 5.1 is the first version which supports pluggable storage engines, 
so older MySQL versions cannot and will never be supported.

Libraries required:
* Google Protocol Buffers - http://code.google.com/p/protobuf
* Judy - http://judy.sf.net
* libevent - http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/
(this one may be already installed in your system, just make sure it's new enough (1.4+ is enough) and check that you have -devel package installed).

Optionally used:
* Hoard memory allocator - http://www.hoard.org

Using --with-hoard option you can add compiled-in Hoard support. It helps to reduce memory consumption (and Pinba is quite memory hungry when it comes to millions of timers). 2x smaller memory footprint with Hoard is what I regularly see.

Mason.js

Mason.js is a jQuery plugin that allows you to create a perfect grid of elements.

This is not Masonry, or Isotope or Gridalicious. Mason fills in those ugly gaps, and creates a perfectly filled space.

Mason.js — Fills in gaps in your masonry layout

Mason.js fixes a common problem with masonry-style layouts: gaps and ragged edges. It calculates where the holes in your layout will be and fills them in, creating a grid with no gaps.
