Privacy: Where’d you go?

As I was passing through customs upon arriving in Australia I noticed a sign informing everyone that there was some television show being filmed today and that if we didn’t wish to participate we should inform somebody. Aside from the reference to the elusive ‘somebody’ it made me wonder just when exactly did privacy become something I . . . → Read More: Privacy: Where’d you go?

Taking it to the Next, Bloody, Level

When the UDD gave their ultimatum today that the House of Representatives be dissolved, to which Prime Minister Abhisit responded “No”, I bet you were all wondering what would be next. I mean, when you give an ultimatum it’s a case of either do-what-we-want-or-we-will-do-something-bad right? Wonder no more!

UDD leaders announced that they:

will take . . . → Read More: Taking it to the Next, Bloody, Level

Did you know it’s possible to do a Google search of a specific website using the address bar of Google’s Chrome browser?

My last post got me thinking about my mum in a round about way. Besides playing the trumpet I also played the piano, which I learnt a few years after trumpet so I had to learn how to read bass clef at the same time. Luckily it was just a simple case of transposition from . . . → Read More: Talents of Unknown Origin

And Now For Some Music

It’s 3:21am and I can’t sleep, so here’s some music to enjoy from Mike Oldfields Music of the Spheres.

Leaving is Complicated

The company website (www.cibus.co.th) has gone through a number of iterations as I tried to decide the best way to do it. The current iteration runs on Drupal (version 6) and I implemented a limited install of Ubercart in the hope that someday I would fully implement it as a customer portal for ordering products . . . → Read More: Leaving is Complicated

So Incredibly Busy

Since submitting Oui’s application for permanent residency things have become increasingly busy in my little world and it’s moments like these in which I truly appreciate the wonderful life I’ve had for the last few years. That’s all in the past now because our departure is approaching quickly and so many things need to be . . . → Read More: So Incredibly Busy
