Newcomer to the Blogosphere

I'm a Ph.D. researcher in the application of the Semantic Web and Web Services in structural engineering. I've heard about blogs. I've been visitors to many blogs. But I've never owned one myself.

I recently found an article from HP Lab in Briston, U.K. HP Lab in Briston, U.K. which mentions about "Semantic Web + Blogging" in knowledge management and became more interested in blogging.

This blog will be my first hand-on experience into the Blogosphere.

The Semantic Web + Bloggin research by HP Lab was termed Semantic Blogging. Steve Cayzer, a major contributor to this work, wrote an introductory article about it in Communications of the ACM, Vol. 47, NO. 12, December 2004. The article is titled "Semantic Blogging and Decentralized Knowledge Management."

Padonc's "Bought from Mae Hong Son" T-shirts -- Interesting Souvenir from Mae Hong Son

Padonc's "Bought from Mae Hong Son" T-shirts -- Interesting Souvenir from Mae Hong Son The "I love New York" t-shirt and the series of souvenir was one of my impressive memory from my previous trips to New York City. I got this same kind of impression when I was browsing by the shops by the Jong Kam Walking Street in the city of Mae Hong Son in the second night of the trip. I didn't look at the seller when I caught the sight of these T-shirts. The seller greeted me and, surprisingly, she was P'Kwan, my senior alumni from Chulalongkorn University, who lives in Mae Hong Son and gave me a warm welcome when my family and I went for a dinner at Fern Restaurant in Mae Hong Son town the other night. Note: Pi or P' (its abbreviation) is a Thai word to call an elder sister or brother. Here are the pictures: P'Kwan and Her Shop The T-shirts P'Kwan and the Shop P'Kay, P'Kwan's Husband, at Another Shop Keywords: trips , mae-hong-son , thai

Tip: Converting a CSV File into XML by Excel

I came across a problem to convert a historical data in comma-separated format (CSV) into a modern & more useful XML format. There are many ways to do such conversion. The most obvious one is to do it programmatically by writing a program to read CSV data and exporting it to an XML file by means of the Simple API for XML (SAX) or the Document Object Model (DOM) libraries. But I was too lazy to do it. I knew that Microsoft Excel 2003 supports exporting worksheets into XML data. I tried it out but found that it is not that simple -- we have to define an XML schema and bind each element to each column of the worksheet. So I went on researching. Finally, I found a very useful tool on MSDN: Excel 2003 XML Tools Add-in Version 1.1 ( download ). The Excel Add-in's "XML Tools -> Convert a Range to an XML List" menu command allows us to simply select a range in a worksheet (with or without first row as column names) -- with the advanced options to specify the XML root

It’s been eight years and here comes COVID-19 in early 2020

This blog was last posted in 2008 before Facebook and LinkedIn went mainstream. I have since then socialized and posted a lot on Facebook and LinkedIn. During the global COVID-19 crisis in early 2020 people dramatically change the way they live and work since they day I last posted on this blog. They stay a lot at home during the great lockdown to prevent the spreading of the coronavirus.
