must have mac apps

At first I was going to write about another great mac applications I was using. Then I found a blog post from VinodLive.com which was just as good as it gets in compiling free software for the mac. (and some has a PC version as well)

A few software that I found a lot of use are

Jing - record your screen action - It’s free for both Mac and Pc version.
AppDelete - uninstaller for the Mac
Quicksilver - of course, I can’t live without this great app anymore.

ถ้าคุณแน่อย่าแพ้ปอ.สี่

ระยะนี้ดูรายการถ้าคุณแน่อย่าแพ้ ป.สี่ แทบทุกวัน ตอบได้บ้างไม่ได้บ้าง
แต่การดูรายการนี้ทำให้เอะใจอะไรบางอย่าง ที่เอะใจก็คือว่า สิ่งที่เรียนมาตั้งแต่ ป.1 จนถึง ป.4 หรือแม้กระทั่ง ม.6 ก็ตาม มีคุณค่าแค่ไหน จำเป็นสำหรับชีวิตประจำวันแค่ไหน?
ถ้าทุกสิ่งทุกอย่างที่เรียนตั้งแต่เด็ก เป็นสิ่งที่จำเป็นสำหรับชีวิตประจำวันจริงๆ ทำไมผู้ใหญ่ถึงจำกันไม่ได้ ทำไมตอบคำถาม ป.4 ไม่ได้?
ตัวอย่างคำถาม

  • กระจับปี่เป็นเครื่องดนตรีประเภทใด?
  • กรุงธนบุรีเกิดก่อนกรุงรัตนโกสินกี่ปี?

What you can do with $6.98

You can buy a portable recorder with $6.98!

OMG! “IT’S FUN - IT’S REVOLUTIONARY. IT’S ELECTRONIC (oh? :P)”

I found this ad in a (electronic) copy of X-Men first issue which was released in 1963. $6.98 back in 1963 is probably comparable to $300 to $400 nowadays which is about the price of an iPod.
But to be able to own a record cutter at $400 right now would be a lot cooler to me than getting an iPod at $400. Besides, manufacturing this record cutter machine nowadays would probably cost a lot more than manufacturing iPod, too.

Casual gamers

Since I stopped playing game seriously 6 months ago. (playing WoW at least 6 hours a day), I think I am now falling into a “casual gamers” group.
I started to think, “Now what game should I play that fits my time and needs?” I don’t want to play a puzzle game where there is not goal other than solving a puzzle and that’s it. I tried Bejeweled, Cradle of Rome and a few others. Cradle of Rome kept me occupied for the whole month. It was quite an upgrade from Bejeweled, but still… it didn’t fulfill my needs. Coming from an MMORPG game, these casual gamer games just aren’t good enough for me, but I don’t have enough time to play an MMORPG now. I still want to play the game, of course, hopefully I can when I reach 50.

IE8 beta

IE8 beta is finally out, and it’s standard compliance. Good news for me, BUT!

MORE THAN 30% OF THE PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE STILL ON THE DAMN IE6!

‘nough said.

*don’t forget Firefox 3 beta as well.*

Tango en Skai

I seem to have too much spare time lately. I went around around Youtube searching for “Tango en Skai” performances. From the original to merely an imitation.
