Weekend Trip to Pattaya

October 8-9, 2005: Weekend Trip to Pattaya

I haven't visited Pattaya for ten years and I just had a chance to visit it on a family trip last weekend. Things have changed a lot.

We left Bangkok in the afternoon of Saturday, took Highway #7 (the Motor Way) and arrived at the Horseshoe Point Resort around 6 pm. We checked in and left the hotel for a fine German dinner at Bruno's Restaurant. The food, the decoration, and the food was extremely impressive. It was as if we were having dinner at a fine restaurant in Paris. Anyway, the price was extremely expensive as well. After the dinner, we went for a little walk at the Royal Garden Plaza and finally went back to the hotel. We started Sunday seeing things around the resort, then visited an outlet mall in Pattaya and went straight to Bang Phra for a Thai-style seafood lunch. We left there around 2 pm and arrived in Bangkok around 4 pm.

Here is my little photojournalism from my Nikon D70 and palmOne Treo 600 cameras. Hope you like it!

"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

Tips: Mac OS X: Full ANSI Color Support in Terminal.app

I'm trying to switch my Java development platform from Windows XP to Mac OS X Tiger. Wondering how to colorize the Terminal screen, I spent some time googling. From the discussions at the end of this page: macosxhints.com - Add full ANSI color support to Terminal.app Here's a summary of how to enable it: With bash shell as default, simply add export TERM=xterm-color [I prefer this for Linux compatibility] or export TERM=dtterm in the ~/.profile (single-user) or /etc/profile (system-wide) Color terminal is enabled. Use ' ls -G ' (the -G enables color output) to test. Add alias ls='ls -G' in the profile file for convenience. Keywords: mac-os-x , unix , terminal , shell , tips

Lenovo IdeaPad S10: Annoying Fan Noise Fix and Heat Conduction Upgrade

Here's a repost of my message on the Lenovo.com board: I would like to thank Slash (on Lenovo.com board) so much for his messages on this thread: http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=IdeaPad_Netbook&message.id=1183#M1183 I decide today (February 28, 2009) to walk into a Lenovo Service Center inside a computer mall in downtown Bangkok because I cannot tolerate the constant grinding noise from my S10 anymore. I bought my S10 in late November 2008 and I started to hear some grinding noise in late December 2008. I have been using the S10 as my primary computer both for work and for home. At work, this noise has embarrassed me many, many times. At home, I left the S10 with Vista in High Performance mode on overnight so that it can complete the maintenance tasks, e.g., HDD Defrag and Indexing, but the fan noise from high CPU temperature woke me up at 4:45 in the morning! I learned from Slash's picture http://i41.tinypic.com/25alq3d.jpg that Lenovo chose to use chea...
