I might try the usual places like MBK first of all though. I just really want to play Test Drive Unlimited as I love that game

Thanks for replying.

I am looking for a standard PSP (not the Vita) that is hacked with a memory stick and everything included. What price would I be looking at second hand and where might I find one?

Thanks.

Facebook or anything else unwholesome will never get banned here purely for the fact that, if it was, it'd be one step closer to putting the blame on the real culprit, the people, and that will never happen. The government needs things to blame for the societal situation after all, that is not themselves, and usually avoids the main issue or cause entirely and spouts rubbish articles like this.

Thanks for this, I'll be sure to get it for my 13-inch (Early 2010) Macbook Pro.

I am working on my university project which is to design an iTunes style application designed for low end computer systems whilst researching and abiding by all copyright and digital content laws and ethical issues. I am not the best at programming and I am doing all this in Visual Basic 2010 and wondered if there was anyone here who would be kind enough to fix the issues that I am currently experiencing and obviously would get paid for their time based on the workload.

I can provide full system spec and my current source code for review also and I am sure a seasoned programmer would find something like this very easy.

Basically the end result has to have near enough the same features in terms of music interaction as the likes of iTunes but designed to run more on low end systems.

This means the software needs the following features:

1 - Fully editable song database with MP3 tag editing and album art

2 - Media player based on song database with full media controls, playlist and option to export playlist file, songs playing display correct ID3 tag data.

3 - ID3 tag editor for songs in database as well as option for user to open their own files and edit and save those.

4 - Option to select songs/albums and buy from iTunes/Amazon

It also needs to be hosted online.

Thanks for your time.

I should be able to supply Demonoid codes if anyone wants any.

Piratebay works fine.

I just browse on http://www.torrentz.com or http://www.isohunt.com

Ddi you find a serial for this yet?

I have written and published a book about me and my (then) girlfriend whilst currently living in Thailand.

It's not amazing but feel free to give it a read.

This may sound a strange question and is sure to generate a few laughs but where can I buy a coffee home enema kit in Bangkok?

Many thanks.

I've never been a fan of Acer so I will only believe this when I see it.

This pages could be of assistance: http://www.command-tab.com/2007/03/11/upgrading-ipod-hard-drives/ or http://computershopper.com/mp3-players/howto/upgrade-your-ipod-s-hard-drive-and-battery

Thanks MJCM.

Looks like I can only upgrade it to 100GB anyway so might just have to bite the bullet and try to find a used 160GB iPod.

Thanks.

Ian

Hello.

I have a black 80GB VDO iPod and was wondering if somewhere like MBK would upgrade the hard drive for me to 160GB as I see that as being much cheaper than buying another model.

Is this possible? If so, where do I go and how much would I be looking to spend?

Many thanks.

Ian

Hello Jimi.

I cannot find it on that site.

I have tried so hard to find this RAM that it is getting silly now but I will try OWC, they seem to have it.

Thanks very much.

I went to iStudio in Paragon yesterday and bought a 13 inch Macbook Pro and was offered the choice of an English only keyboard, no problem, in fact they were quite insistent but I had to explain that it was for my girlfriend so they happily gave me a dual language one instead.

I'd go for the 360, the Wii has had its day and the PS3 is also trailing behind the 360 in terms of performance and such.

Central Pinklao used to have a game centre on the fifth floor called ETC which had real pinball machines in.

I see it as an omen, not sure about the Thai people though. Nature has had enough of this country being ran the way it has and has decided to take it back.

Ain't karma a pain?

I'm sorry, I didn't read all the posts regarding helping farangs.

The main concern seems to be a work permit, which is needed if you perform (paid) labor.

Assisting or aiding in a catastrophe like this is country wide "allowed". In other words: Nobody will enforce the labor law in combination with the immigration law regarding visa and work permits.

Calling the foreigner, who refuses to help because he doesn't have a WP, arrogant is overdone; it's his good right. It may be ignorant, that's all.

Being paranoia of having no or no correct WP is a bit overdone; there will be no government-official who will check foreigners on having a WP.

However, some foreigners will continue performing labor after the ordeal has been solved claiming that they didn't need a WP during the floods, and that they won't need a WP after the floods.

Good point, the work permit paranoia brigade are not arrogant, just ignorant. And in some cases just looking for a way to ease their conscience so they dont have to get involved. There has been some hilarious examples of excuses for people not lifting a finger when they could have done and initially gave the bogus impression they were willing to do so.

I have a work permit and see that as a reason to actually help. I spent the best part of yesterday helping move the condo furniture and fitness equipment to higher ground. I am sure a lot of people who help are not seen on TV.

The Thai people had years to look in to a disaster such as this and get prepared for it but instead spent it taking bribes, infighting, having coups and burning down Bangkok.

This is nature's way of saying this is the last straw.

Karma is a pain and now we all have to suffer

Good luck everyone.

This:

Once you've lived here for decent stretch of time - and I'm thinking 15 years plus here - you will come to the realisation that the world that you came from; the world that you, so often, use as a baseline for your criticisms of the way things are in Thailand, does not exist anymore. You will be severely dissappointed to find that the only place where it exists is inside your head. And if you were to go back to that mythical place, that you cling to as a crutch to justify why your view of how things should be in Thailand is correct (and why the Thai have it wrong), you will be incredibly shocked to find that you don't fit in anymore and that life there is far more difficult and tedious than it could ever be in the "land of Smiles."

You will appreciate the following:

1. That you can step out of your door at any time of the day or night and get a decent bowl of noodle soup within 5 minutes walk of your abode.

2. You can buy a reasonable range of alcohol from a 7/11 and that there are plenty of them everywhere.

3. That you can go to a bar/gogo/night club and receive undevided attention from a bevy of lovely ladies (even though it is largely an act).

4. That you are, everyday, eating some of the worlds best food that people back in those mythical lands (you come from) pay a fortune for and only get to eat occaissionally.

5. That the weather is always warm, and as you advance on in years, the problems with old joint injuries seem to be more managable in the said warm climate.

6. That health care is, by and large, very good and is inexpensive compared to the cost back in those mythical lands - As an aside; I have comprehensive accident and medical insurance through SCB. It's 26000 baht a year. I've used it a couple of times and I've never handed over a single baht at the hospitals I use. I just hand over my insurance card and that's the end of it.

7. If you give someone a smile - even someone you've never met before - you will almost always get a smile back in return.

8. That Thailand is a relatively free and easy place to live and that those mythical lands have become PC governed, over taxing, police states.

Agreed.

What is really needed is a first post listing reported locations, with time-stamp next to recent sightings.

To be able to predict my areas coming water I need to scan several pages of sightings and political debates...

(Huay Kwang, close to Vibhavade, dry.)

This is a great idea

Put on The Prodigy ('Breathe' for example) turn the volume and bass up full = you win (albeit with a mild case of tinntitus afterwards)

Is anyone else in the Lad Prao area (I am at soi 27) and can estimate when it will be hit?

Thanks.

Ian

The link is still not showing but I like the idea behind it. For me anything that can clear wires way is a definite bonus.

Hi Ianwuk,

i never heard anything from the day i sent it. I received it 4 weeks later to the day.

Geordie

Keep checking your tracking number.

It came today.

Many thanks for your help.
