  1. I'm plodding my way through levelling and now that the launch issues are subsiding I'm enjoying WoD very much

    I'm levelling an alt towards 100 at the moment because my main server had large queues last week - they've died down now so I'm torn between continuing levelling my alt or switching back to my main ;)

  2. The Bangkok Post has an article related to a potential change in law that will change how nominee companies work - no more sleeping partners by the looks of things

    The article was on either Friday or Saturday - unfortunately I don't think we're allowed to link to Bangkok Post articles here

  3. Apple controls pricing pretty strictly. Their products sell in Thailand for just a little more than they do in US or Europe. I looked into on a recent visit home, and decided that local support alone would be worth the small price difference.

    But there is always a lag in the products reaching Thailand. If you need the latest now, buying overseas might be justified. My first iPad was purchased in US at a time when it could not be had in Thailand (except at a high markup on the grey market.)

    Don't know about the rest of Europe but the iPhone 6 currently appears to be about £50 cheaper in Thailand than in the UK ;)

  4. are you dee mfee .... the graffiti artist ?

    dave2

    No I am not a grafitti artist nor a tagger, mcffee became the abbreviation for my website mekongcoffee.com that started to lead it's own life, now often chosed as my register name. I am also not affiliated with the extravagant, coke-sniffing antivirus developer who killed his neighbour.

    Allegedly;)

  5. I do love how personally some people take the phone choice of others ;)

    I would just like to state now that when I choose my next phone, whoever the manufacturer is, it is not intended as a personal insult to anyone here

    I won't be buying it because I perceive that it makes me better (or worse than anyone else), I won't be buying it because I believe it is the best phone in the world - I'll be buying it because I like it ;)

    Hopefully one day the android and apple fans will unite to exterminate the windows heathen ;) (only joking)

  6. If you have time I would recommend contacting your local court and asking them for an official letter stating why the stamp is in black rather than red - sometimes the home office and the foreign office don't talk to each other

    When my wife and I got married in the UK we had to apply for a marriage visa for my wife and one of the of the requirements for the visa was a letter from the registry office stating that we had booked a registrar

    When I talked to my local registrar he said they no longer issued such letters because we could easily cancel the appointment afterwards and that the foreign office had been told this was the case - when I tried explaining this to the embassy in Bangkok they still requested the letter

    In the end after several phone calls to the UK working my way up the chain of command at the home office I was given the name and phone number of the Home Secretary's secretary and told to give this to the embassy if they still insisted on the letter

    I wrote the embassy a very polite note explaining the situation and why there wasn't a letter from the registrar and asked them to contact the contact at the home office if they had an issue

    There was no further contact from the embassy and my wife's visa was approved

  7. Is there a good open source version of M$ exchchange or nohope notes? I.e. Enterprise level email and calendar sever

    Yes, there are a couple of specialized distros based on Ubuntu and Centos. They are generally full M$ AD/DC replacements. Zentyal (www.zentyal.org) is probably the best implementation, based on research I've done recently.

    Thank you for the suggestion

  8. If you go to you tube and search for Todd olthoff Yosemite there is a video talking you through the preparation steps for upgrading to Yosemite - at one point he uses a website to search and check for app compatibility with Yosemite - if you get to that point in the video the website he uses may be of help to you

  9. Somehow i doubt that the Eskimos are in the sack sockless.

    When I was a scout leader I would take the kids camping and always tell them to put on clean socks before going to bed and wear a toque. In one camp the kids dug them selves a snow cave and were warm all night.

    Most of the body heat will be lost through the top of the head. If nights are cold get a sleeping hat like Scrooge wore.clap2.gifwai.gif

    It depends on you definition of 'most' ;)

    If your head is the only uncovered part of your body then most of the heat will be lost there, likewise if your feet are the only uncovered part of your body then most of the heat will be lost there.

    If all your body is uncovered then your head will lose pretty much as much heat as any other part of your body

  10. Thanks for the suggestions guys - I'll keep them in mind as I advance my project

    I'm not going to go top of the range as I'm not a hardcore gamer - I just want games to look prettier and run more smoothly than they do on my 4 year old laptop ;)

    I reckon I'll be able to get away with a 256 gb ssd as all my media is on a separate server - the new machine will only need to store the os and the 4 or 5 games I regularly play

  11. Hi,

    I'm thinking of building a gaming PC as a project over the next few months - there's no rush and it's not high on the priority list of things to do so I figure I'll just buy the components bit by bit

    It's been a while since I've done this and I'm not sure what I should be looking for in a motherboard - I know it'll have to support the processor and the type memory that I buy, I know I'm after USB 3 ports and that as I'll be buying a graphics card that on board graphics won't be necessary

    Other than that what other things should I be looking out for? Is there a manufacturer or manufacturers that are considered better (or worse) than others

    Thanks in advance

  12. why were a load of monks out getting alms at about 11 ish on loi kroh road last night !

    anyone know ?

    dave2

    ps .. ive seen bargirls on their knees many times at night :)

    but not in front of monks ! ... pics not posted

    I believe we're at the end of (forgive my attempt at spelling) cow pan sah (Buddhist lent) so it may have something to do with that.

    My brother and sister in law were at the temple late last night and my wife and her friends have gone today
