Tip: Microsoft Outlook 2003 and MHTML Attachment

I found a webpage on Pantip.com that contains an excellent article

Why We Thai People Love Our King Bhumibol So Much.

I tried to save the page to my hard drive in the MHT (MIME HTML) format with Mozilla Firefox's "Mozilla Archive Format" extension. I prefer saving a web page as an MHT file over the "Web Page, complete" option because it is more handy to get an archive of a webpage in one single MHT file than getting so many files inside a folder generated by the complete Web Page method.

I sent the MHT file as a attachment in an Outlook 2003 email to my girlfriend and by chance learned that this is an extremely more convenient way to send an archive of a webpage to someone than to "copy all and paste" a webpage in Outlook's Microsoft Word editor. From my experience, Outlook takes unacceptably long time to process pictures, texts, and formatting pasted into its Word text editor from Internet Explorer or Firefox. Sending a webpage by an MHT attachment virtually skips this hassle.

Here is the picture of an Outlook message with MHT attachment:

and this is the MHT attachment once opened in Outlook:

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.

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.
