New Year 2006 Trip to Mae Hong Son, Thailand

I was on a trip to Northern Thailand with my family during December 28 - 31, 2004. The trip was very nice and here are some of the pictures I took with my Nikon D70 digital SLR camera and the Treo 600 built-in camera. You can click on a picture to see an enlarged version.

Happy New Year 2006!!

A Thought on a Reasoner-enabled Version of Del.icio.us (and perhaps Technorati)

I have been adding more bookmarks to my del.icio.us account and have begun tagging them with RDF-like object/datatype properties. Adding more and more object/datatype properties to the bookmark, a provoking thought popped up: It would be nice if tagging can be assisted by ontologies and a logic reasoner. Look at del.icio.us/thitiv . The _hasAffilication:CUPhoto property should be a subproperty of _hasAffiliation:Chula (provided that CUPhoto stands for Chula Photo Club .) Also, aticles on 'tagging' are subclass of articles on 'metadata'. But articles on 'metadata' are not essentially the articles on 'tagging'. 'Friends' versus 'people' is also another example. Bookmarks about my friends are of course bookmarks about people. But not all the people I know or found on the Internet (through search engines) are my friends. Ontology-assisted tagging sounds promising to solve this problem. In principle, this problem is partly related to...

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 ...

"Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine" Error on Windows 7 (64-bit) + Office 2010 (64-bit) + Visual Studio 2010

If you use (1) Windows 7 (64-bit), and (2) Office 2010 (64-bit), and  (3) Visual Studio 2010 to write an ASP.NET code to connect to Access or Excel database using the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider and consistently get the "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine" error, try installing the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components , which is basically a Microsoft Access Database Engine 2007 Redistributable for Windows (32-bit) from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=23734 Many forums suggested by Google Search suggest installing the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable for Windows (32-bit, 64-bit) downloadable from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=13255 but it wouldn't help because Visual Studio 2010 is a 32-bit application; what you need is a 32-bit Data Connectivity component. The 2010 download will not allow you to install i...
