From today and until this friday, is Songkran Day, a Thai new year day.
If you're in Thailand you've noticed that there are lots of people forming a gang splashing at each other.
So, I wish that you have a good time and for those that are traveling somewhere else, hope you're all safe!
Today, my school have a Songkran Day celebration.
It's fine. The funnest part is at the end of the day where I get to splash water at people! It's very fun indeed!
The problem is that, some shits splashed water right into my eyes...lol...what the hel!
Next year, I will find a new way to revenge those shits.
Hello everyone,
No one expected, the scams are fast to react to the Japan disaster of March 11th.
There are many fake donation sites out there, so be careful.
I called this month an 'Black March' because of a rash of bad events happenning.
So, only make donations through good donation companies.
Well, you might thought why would I assign the coldest day of 2011 since it's still summer?
Well, today is really the coldest day of 2011. Temperature currently is 18-19°C. Pretty strange, isn't it? Temperature was at this low for whole day in summer in Bangkok.
Well, I guest this is due to the cold wind blew in from Japan. My guest is, the cold wind from Japan blews southwards, and when it joins with the high-pressure from China, the massive cold wind is form to produce a gray day(whole day is cloudy).
If the cold wind from Japan continues to arrive, I expected the winter effect to be continuing for about a few days to about a week.
The affect is, a large number of my year 9 friends wear jackets today; mostly are girls; I think none of the boys wear jackets! Even I didn't wear it today!
The next assignment is the 'hottest day' of 2011.
Today was a pretty exciting day because my ASDAN class went to the Muslim temple to do yet another interview with people. Nothing exciting really, just about 1 hour solid of asking questions and writing down answers. Lessons are normal pretty much, and that's it.
Oh...after school today...I had been in a scene yet another harassment but not directed towards me, but towards my best friend. The thing wasn't too serious, but still it's a big deal and probably my friend who created the harassment will be laughed at by tomorrow as I will spread this on. The harassment lasted for a short period, and not many of my friends see it, but I was exactly in it and actually see everything!
This kind of harassment occurs once back in November 2010.
Another post not relating to computer/web...
If you've heard from news, there has been a rash of natural disasters rolling just in the first 3 months of 2011; all of these are Earthquakes; probably more than 6 of them counting the one yesterday.
I guest, when I do a write-up summary of 2011, major events are going to be natural disasters, unlike last year where major events are mixed.
I guest there will be more of these threats throughout the year...
March 10th, 2011.
Probably nothing special, but there is one event to note.
The event is the drama concert at school. It lasted about an hour or 2. The play was magnificent! It was very professional! I really like how they make use of smoke machine to simulate a Victorian London! I also like the way musics is involved you know, there is short songs in between scene changes.
The point I like the most is when one of my friend who played as a woman, got killed by my another friend, who played as a man. Don't really know why it's happen, but probably a conflict between the man and the woman.
March 5th, 2011.
Well, what's so special about the day? It's my school's 'Fun Day'!
It was similar to the one last year, but with some changes to the activity.
Firstly, there was this thing that it's like a giant ball inflated with air that you could go in. Basically, you go inside the ball, and it will go into the pool full of water. You feel like you are floating on the water! I actually sit like I'm on an invisible boat!
Second was the addition of a thing like trampoline. The guard basically locks you in, and you bounce around like a monkey! And at one point he throws you up so hi that you would go screaming and laughing in the air! It's so cool! I love it!
Now I know the true point of the day now. I got to go there around 3PM. By that time, the sun is low and it isn't so hot, and the activity is fun because it wasn't too hot like at around 12 or 1PM when the sun is still high and temperature is like 34-35°C.
February 28th, 2011.
What so special about today? Well it's my birthday! Also today my school have a World Math Day activity!
The activity was after lunch, at period 7 and 8.
It wasn't so exciting, but it's still fun. The fun part is the activity itself.
There isn't really much to say, because the activity lasted for 2 periods. The teacher split the class into groups and we go around each room to complete the activity. Not too exciting, isn't it?
The rest of the day was pretty typical.
Sorry to be a bit late on the news, but finally the long wait is over. Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is out!
you've been waiting since after October 22nd, 2009 for Service Pack 1?
Well, your 1 year and 4 months of wait is over! Windows 7 Service Pack 1 has gone live!
If you've been waiting since you've upgraded from XP or Vista, then your wait is also over!
If you've bought your PCs on say, February 19th, 2011 or February 21st, 2011 then you might have Service Pack 1 pre-installed!
You can get it from Microsoft download center or by Windows update. If you have it set to automatic, you'll probably get it anyway because you might remember around February 22nd, 2011, your computer restarted once and start up with the text 'Configuring Service Pack' text on the log in screen. The 'Configuring Service Pack' text is the sign that Service Pack 1 is installing! So hope that the power won't go down or your laptop battery won't die off during the installation!
For me it installed fine, even from a mounted CD image downloaded from Microsoft.
So for those that are still waiting, go and get it now!
Hey.
With some experience of using different DS emulators, I had came to conclusion on which is the better one.
The 3 emulators currently on the market are: DeSmuMe, No$GBA, and iDeaS.
In general, these 3 emulators had the same goal which is to emulate a real DS inside a computer(or you can called it 'Virtual DS').
Now let's look at the features breakdown.
Wifi: Draw.
Neither of these 3 has support for wifi. Although DeSmuMe has some support on the SVN branch, it was very poor, as well as iDeaS's wifi plugin.
Speed: DeSmuMe.
I can say, DeSmuMe is much faster than iDeaS and No$GBA. With the advent of frameskip, users were able to get the game going faster.
3D: DeSmuMe.
Surely, the advent of soft raisterizer in April 2009's 0.9.2 release is probably interesting enough. This new 3D engine makes the graphics look like real DS, and the engine is still improving.
Sound: DeSmuMe.
Surely, sound is much better than No$GBA and iDeaS. You can even set some options for the sound.
Configuration: DeSmuMe.
The interface is pretty standard with DeSmuMe – standard menubar. iDeaS and No$GBA also have a standard menubar. But the real thing is the configuration. DeSmuMe has more options than No$GBA or iDeaS such as control settings(iDeaS has this too), frameskip, 3D settings and etc.
Development: iDeaS.
Well No$GBA is dead, DeSmuMe has new releases every 5 or 6 months, but iDeaS has new releases every 1 or 2 months.
Compatibility: Draw.
Neither of these emulator supports all games. Games released in 2009 or 2010 will have problems with these 3 emulators, but games released in 2007 or 2008 may work fine.
Support: DeSmuMe and iDeaS.
These 2 emulators have a built in forum, and FAQ/wiki. But DeSmuMe offers best support, with the built in of forums, FAQ and documentations makes a really good support.
Features: DeSmuMe.
DeSmuMe has features like savestate, import saves, movie recording and etc that iDeaS and No$GBA don't have.
Compatibility with OS: DeSmuMe.
DeSmuMe runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, while No$GBA runs only on Windows, and iDeaS only runs on Windows and Linux.
In conclusion, the best DS emulator is DeSmuMe. It offers the best features of all(savestate, import saves, and movie recording).
Surely, wifi will be present in DeSmuMe and iDeaS sometimes in the future, as wifi becomes easier to code. No$GBA is dead, so don't expect a wifi support.
Now let's see which emulator(DeSmuMe or iDeaS) will have wifi support first! The emulator that have wifi support first will grab a place at the top as the king of the DS emulation!
Hello everyone!
If you don't know the fact, I embarked on the adventure of web master since January 2009.
During 2009 to mid 2010, I have only a wordpress.com blog. At that time I was very new to web development. I don't even know much about HTML, nor about scripts.
Before mid 2010, I was not really interested in web development, so the wordpress.com blog was not updated quite often, with a gap from the first post and the second post of nearly 8 months, with my second post in the blog arrived around August 2009, and the third one around November 2009.
From then, my blog update frequency starts to increase, as I learn more about the structure of the platform and how to use it.
My web master experience began to brightened around Q3 of 2010, where I set up my own forum and my fully working website. From that point on, I was more devoted to web development.
Before the end of January 2011, I was using Webs as my starting point. The features was pretty limited, since I know the greatness of PHP and Mysql and the fact that all blogs, forums, wikis and CMS are run using a PHP script.
After the year 9 residential trip, I decided to do something in order to meet my need; so I registered with a webhost called 'x10hosting'.
From that point on until today, I learned many things, including how to backup files and databases, the resource usage limitation of a webserver, and the pain of recovering from accidents/disasters.
Actually, my goal was to have a fully personalized web server of my own, without any rules enforcing on me. That's right, I have to set up my own web server. But that is not possible yet due to the high cost and resource requirements that is beyond my reach. Setting up a web server also requires a person with 24/7 uptime availability. That means that the person that can do this is the one that always left the computer on, day and night, and don't do anything else but working on the web server.
Being a web master also requires that more time is spent working on my site, which is difficult for me as I was interrupted by real-life events(schooling, holidays and etc).
Although I may realize that I started this journey too early, but it's too late to revert anything back; and I don't want to dropped halfway through!
So now I am doing my best to keep the web master world and the real world in sink at the same time.
But the future will be challenging. As I study higher, that means that less time may have to be spent on web development, and that will make the sinkrinization between the 2 worlds more difficult, but I will strive to do my best! Yes! All web masters in the world are to strive not to give up no matter what!
Having a fully customized web server is all web masters' goal! I will strive to get there along with other web masters!
For new web masters that are struggling, keep on going! Yes, learning PHP is hard, learning HTML is hard, learning scripts is hard, learning CPanel is hard, learning Crons is hard, and learning Java is hard. Just try the best that you can!
There are some issues with the new forum. The main issue is the display. The theme/style is not working in IE and other profiles of Firefox; instead it just display plain text.
I'm investigating this issue. I may need to re-install the forum from scratch and that means all posts, forums and categories will be lost.
I will post back as soon as possible about the progressJ.
Update: Issue solved!
It's a glitch in my computer!
What you need:
1st Download the installer from Ubuntu website.
2nd Run the exe file. If UAC is on, click yes(Windows 7) or continue(Windows Vista).
3rd configure the option to your taste, then click Install.
4th Wait...
5th Eventually your PC will reboot. When you landed on the boot menu, select Ubuntu.
6th Complete the installation, following any prompts.
7th The installation is now complete! You can now install your favorite Linux apps!
To give you an idea of how it works, watch this video.
Enjoy installing Ubuntu!
I've read on Wikipedia last night that Windows 7 SP1 is about to be release.
It's now available to OEMs, and will be available for MSDN subscribers on 16th FEB, and regular consumers on 22nd FEB.
That means for you if you're a sun or daughter of someone who works in say HP or DEL, you're very lucky because your father or your mother will probably install SP1 for you. If you're an MSDN subscriber, you have to wait for 5 more days, and if you're a regular consumer like me, you can wait for 10 more days.
That's exciting!

It's february, the end of winter. Spring has reached Europe, and many temperate regions. Arctic are experiencing the first sunrise by mid February. Cold breeze are dying from Thailand. Right now no more traces of winter-like breeze can be feel in Bangkok and southwards. It is only in the north where it can be felt. After February, cold winds won't be felt again until the latest by December, and earliest by the end of October, which is about 8 to 10 months from now.
Even now, the weather is quite hot already even it is just pre-summer.
But at least the hottest days aren't yet to come. Summer this year will no doubt be severe like other years.
OK, so my previous IE6 posts discusses about issues of IE6 and why not to use it; this post will give you more information about IE6.
IE6 was released on AUG 27th, 2001. AUG 27th 2001 was before my first eye operation, before Facebook and Twitter, before I learn how to use a computer, before I move to international school, before I have my own website, probably before Webs, Activeboard, and Blogbaker, before the Thailand protests, before I learn to swim, before the 21/01/2011 plague, before I went to Chiang Mai for the first time, before I sleep on a train for the first time, and before many events. At that time IE6 was a nice browser by the fact that came pre-installed on every Windows XP machines.
Even now, there's still people using it. It is no longer a nice browser, but instead it is a trash that should go away. IE6 doesn't even have tab browsing nore add on support!
Most people are still using IE6 because 1. Their Windows XP machines are not powerful enough to run Windows 7 and 2. These people don't have money to buy the $399/THB10000 Windows 7 Ultimate or download a cracked Windows 7 Ultimate from torrents. These people don't even have money to buy Windows 7 Upgrade!
It's February 3rd, 2011.
Well what so special about today? It's sports day!
Today was fun. No lessons, whole day of activities! The weather was also mild, better than last year.
Today was also windy. At lunch, the wind blew at least 2 coak bottles and one water bottle down on to the floor below the stands. At least these bottles are empty(all drinks inside were absorbed by people).
And the result? Well my team still won nothing like last year!
My first 2 years wrap up summary...
From 2009 to 2010, there are a number of major events going on.
Major ones include: Launch of Windows 7, Firefox 3.5, IE8, Firefox 3.6, Office 2010, launch of IE 9 beta, and 2010 World Cup.
For me 2009 was pretty a straight line, with few instances of drops and rises. 2010 for me was like a ocean waves or a sound wave – it goes up and down.
Even though, events in 2009 and 2010 all made these 2 years full of moods and feelings.
Most people would have forgotten about 2009 already, and either me. But 2010 – I guest some people still remember the events in 2010 like me. Some people may have a recorded vids from 2009 as the only memory reffrence, and this is true for me. But in 2010, people may still remember clearly what they've done, what had happened, and etc, and this is also true for me – I can still remember clearly about 2010.
For me in computer world, not too exciting – regular reformat of my PC, MSN chats, screen recordings, and built my own websites, blogs and forums. If to compare now and when the PC I'm writing was bought, I can say – very different. For some people, their PCs may still be the same since they bought it until now.
If comparing the World Wide Web between now and JAN 2009, I can say…very different.
The main changes is new websites, new software, new web formats, new web applications, and etc.
Hello!
I thought that the counter attack faced on January 21st won't return but it did return at last!
Today, I faced with 2 more counter attacks, conducted by the same group of kids and uses the same battle field.
The first one was as big as the one on January 21st, and the second one was smaller. Even with some of my friends' help, I couldn't catch the attackers.
This will no doubt continue.
