    Renting Shophouse For Personal Workshop

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    I don't agree with lopburi3.

    If that were the case than we couldn't do anything here like cook for ourselves, clean our room etc... Take for example me. I workout at a gym 5+ days a week, one might even say it's a hobby of mine. I also play the guitar... daily. I don't see how this differs from what Spoonman wants to do. I need to pay 20,000 baht for my gym membership per year as Spoonman would need to pay for a workshop.

    I would say though that Spoonman would be in a bit more of a tight situation trying to explain to the police or authorities that it was just a hobby and not work. In the same way, lopburi3 is a Global Moderators here on Thaivisa.com. One might say that this is work. Unless this is your fulltime job and your WP is under ThaiVisa.com or your not in Thailand.

    Anyway just my 2 cents.

    Changing Nameservers

    Hi,

    It can take up to 48 hours or more for new name servers to propagate across the globe. There is no pattern as to when each ISP will pick the new ones up, so just be patient as it will resolve itself eventually.

    Cheers

    Yup, What richardt1808 said. Be Patient. :)

    35mm Film Slide To Digital

    in Chiang Mai

    PhotoBug near Mikes Hamburgers on Chaiyaphum Road at Thapea Gate will do them for you.

    Thanks for the info, Greenside. I have over 20,000 slides back home in Canada and purchased a $1500 scanner just to transfer them into digital. But, it DOES take a while and not all slides come out well. At the highest level my scanner will do a slide at 5200 DPI and each picture takes up 100 mb. If you do it at any less resolution the quality drops noticeably. Even then I often have to photoshop the digital image later to clean up all scratches and imperfections. There are photoshop programs that will do it for you, but it still takes a lot of work. And, the end result is never as good as a picture shot in digital in the first place.

    5200 DPI!!! That's slightly overkill don't you think?! 300dpi is more then sufficient and you can save lots of hard drive space. If you can notice the difference as you say at less than 5200dpi then I would say you have some other settings to look at. If you are having trouble have a look at http://www.scantips.com

    The HP scanner web site says:

    "A Note on Resolution: The vast majority of scanning projects require resolutions lower than 300 dpi. For example, scanning a photograph at resolutions higher than 150 to 200 dpi only produces a larger file, not more detail."

    Transfer Of 33.3 (lp) Long-playing Records To Cd Or Dvd

    in Chiang Mai

    I don't know of anywhere, but I'm intrigued to know what you have that you can't find on the internet to download? I only ask because I was always thinking of bringing my LP collection over one of these days, then I realised that most of them are probably available on file-sharing sites.

    I just brought much of my lp collection over. It's true there's lots of music out there online but I did many searches & couldn't find much of what I was looking for. One example - Sweet Apple by the band Sweet Apple. Classic late 60s funk ala Sly & the Family Stone. I've never been able to find another copy other than the one I own (which is now here in Chiang Mai).

    Everything can be found online. I did one search for "Sly & the Family Stone" and found hundreds of links. Here's one: - http://rapidshare.com/files/113807262/Grea...Hits__1970_.rar

    Converting it would be an option but I think that is the long way around and the sound quality would be horrible compared to a CD copy. IMO
