If you're in Bangkok then check out Patpong soi #1 entrance on the right hand side as you enter from Silom. There's a guy there who sells all sorts of weird and wonderful DVD's.

Another important word patience. Sometimes being from different cultures can be testing and to be patient at those times is very important. We've just passed the six years happily married. There were times I guess that we both could have smacked the each other but a bit of patience went a long way.

Me twice. Used my wife for the actual paperwork. No problems.

This is probably it:

Nice one Skippy.

Great solution to the cluttered task bar.

Now I have my VB development on one side of the cube, web development (VisualInterDev etc.) on another and a 'take a break' side with the web (TV etc.), FreeCell on another.

The only problem is not getting notified when someone MSN's me, but I can live with that.

I've got two different channels running in my house (bedroom + office and the other's in the living room).

I think that it's only an additional 488 baht a month or something like that. Well worth it when the football's on and the Mrs. wants to watch something else. You can make a one off payment of 4000 baht (or something like that) to watch the same channel in two different rooms.

I've had two 'incidents' (nothing major). I only have my 10 year old tatty UK driving licence. No problem with police or insurance company.

I bought one from Pantip on Friday. Pretty good if you just want to listen to music. Doesn't allow for a memory stick to be plugged in but has 1gb onboard. The only problem for me, and it's a big one, is that I download news/entertainment talk show type of podcasts and the problem with my version (Car MP3 in a silver/blue box) is that there's no pause facility. I start to listen to a show when I leave home to take my girls to school and after dropping them off and getting back into the car the podcast starts again and there's no way to skip through to were I was when I stopped the car. Something to watch out for when selecting your MP3 player if you intend to listen to 'shows' rather than just music.

Hi FireFan can you remember which shop you bought that transmitter? Sounds just the job for me.

Hi Lotus Eater

Try out this link http://www.ocalinar.com/. They're in Bangkok but it that's too far I'm sure that they could give you a contact in Chaing Mai.

Mick

Nice one qwertz. I think that I read before that you're from Germany. If that's that case that's an especially good pun.

Thanks for the quick replies everybody (especially that link Mid)

I'm not too good with graphics but that simple MS Gif Animator did the trick nicely. Took 5 minutes to download, install and create the (boring but effective) graphic.

All sorted now.

Mick

Thanks MamboKing

I have PhotoShop and ImageReady. I tried doing it using both programs but couldn't find out how to (in ImageReady I have two frames of the same image but can't find out how to change the image in the second frame).

I've loads of work to do and only have 1 banner to animate so I thought that a little dedicated tool might make my life a bit easier.

Cheers

Mick

Hi

Does anyone know of any free software out there that allows you to animate a gif file?

I only need it for 1 banner so free would be great.

All the best

Mick

I have a couple of credit cards. I was just asked for a work permit no deposit in any account (it was about 3 years ago).

My cards are with SCB and UOB (previously Asia Bank).

You could also try the sponsers of the Suvarnabhumi Airport forum:

I think that the following (timely) article answers this question perfectly:

Even better!

I am using it on our commercial application but not distributing the dll/ocx.

(still I might just fire off $19 as it is sorting out my problem)

Cheers

Mick

Hello again tywais.

I've downloaded the code that you suggested and had a look. I can strip out the bits that I need to add into my application.

$19 for the .dll is well worth the money.

Thanks again.

Mick

Nice one tywais.

Never thought about using BCC for verification!

That could work...I'll give it a try.

All the best

Hi

I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with VB6?

I've been trying to write some code to generate a(n?) HTML email that goes out via the outbox. I managed to get one going out before but there was no copy left in the Sent Items folder therefore we were never 100% confident that the email actually went out.

The latest attempt found via Google said that I must reference CDO for NT for this to work but I can't find that in my Program > Preferences.

Thanks

Mick

Don't know the whole history behind this "True sucks" attitude (guess it's like Microsoft sucks or Google suck or [insert big successful company name] sucks) but I have the True 4mb connection and it's great. Very little down time and always 3+mb speed when I try a speed test.

I had TOT for a couple of years and the down-time was terrible. True (in my opinion) is certainly a better ISP than TOT.

Thanks Steve.

Hmmm, that's interesting. Does your staff just approach high street banks or are there any specialised mortgage lenders over here.

Mick

Hi

We've been living in our house for three years now and paying the same mortgage payment from the beginning.

I've been thinking about shopping around for a better interest rate (well getting the wife to shop around) and was wondering if anyone has managed to change their mortage to a new lender at a better rate here in Bangkok?

(I have a friendly broker in the UK and have remortgaged my flat a few times over there getting a better interest rate and therefore cheaper payment each time.)

Thanks

Mick
