Another episode suggested by @FordAntitrust. After discussing about photos in episode 175, there were some discussions about the color profile of cameras, so we invited our guru, khun Kajorn (Twitter.com/Kajorn), to share his knowledge on the subject and he did not fail us. Also, we had @RabbitMoon (Twitter.com/RabbitMoon), who was a post-graduate student on this very subject at the faculty of science at Chulalongkorn University, and @PocketHifi (twitter.com/pockethifi), who was a professional photographer, to share their experiences on the episode. The entire recording was almost two hours so we decided break this into two episodes. This was the first one.

July is the starting point of graduation ceremony in Thailand. Since we have quite a few listeners who are quite active photographers, we may as well try to make an episode out of it. This time we have a newly-arrived-from-USA listener, Jane or Twitter.com/JaneMontr, Guy or Twitter.com/KraiWa, Ford or Twitter.com/FordAntitrust, Bay (Thanaraj) and me.

From listeners to a team, this is an episode that gather a group of friends who have been working together for some time. @FordAntitrust requested that we should have an episode about this. It started from producing an episode at Wawee in October 2009, then there were events after events and, finally, we had a team. @Simplywit was in charge of all audio-related setting and recording, @FordAntitrust was in charge of network and IT setting, @MueNue was in charge of video, @Mr_Aum was in charge of overall setting and I was the producer. Too bad that @Mr_Aum was missing, so we all ended up toasting for him.

@meneeeee attended the Apple annual conference on her own so we asked her to share the experience when she came back. It was very obvious that she had a very good time there, enjoying every minute of it, although, it's a very tech-oriented conference. Due to the NDA required for attending the event, she could not reveal much about what the actual conference, but this should provide an idea of what to look and expect, should someone want to attend in the future.

Changkhui: 172. Marvelic and Open Source

Audio Download - MP3 42 MB

Video Download - M4V 599 MB

Having listened to their presentation on open source development at the first WordCamp in Bangkok 2008, I could recall my impression, it was fun and very informative. Later on, I got to know more about k.Akarawuth via Twitter and friends. Eventually, it's time to talk and invited him over for an episode in Changkhui. He also pulled along his friend, k.Pisal, to join the conversation. We talked about how he got started in the IT world and, later on, open source community. It was a very impressive story for me, personally, but, at the same time, sad that these great people did not quite get the recognition that they deserved in Thailand. You could follow k.Akarawuth at twitter.com/joomlacorner and at his blog (Akarawuth.com) and k.Pisal at Twitter.com/lungkao and Lungkao.com.

It's been more than 2 years since I listened to him talked about Wordpress at the first WordCamp event in Bangkok. Eventually, I met him at a Twitter meeting and managed to know him. His name was Jakrit Talawat, AKA Menn or @iMenn on Twitter. He was one of the most well-known web designers among Thai Open Source community. We talked about making an episode, it was a little awkward since he lived in Pai, yes, that's Pai up north of Thailand. Finally, while he was in Bangkok, I managed to get him to record this. We talked on various issues, especially since I had my own difficulty in designing and coding for Changkhui site myself. He was a great representative of the up-and-coming generation of Thailand. You may visit him at iMenn.com

Audio Download (MP3 36 MB)

In light of working from home, we were stuck with nothing much we could really do, so we decided to make an episode out of it. K.Visanu (@VisEua), Oui (@OuiMu) and Ford (@FordAntitrust) had agreed to contribute to the episode. Due to ongoing unrest in Bangkok, we tried to keep the tone of this recording as light as possible. Please forgive us if this was too light, life had just been tough lately.

Changkhui: 168. Hosting in Thailand

Audio Download (MP3 36 MB), Video Download (M4V 515 MB)

For those who were active in Thailand's Twiter communities, you could not help but notice a lady who tweeted regularly with some very inside information about the ICT movement. Of course, this was khun Moui, who was the chairlady of the Thai Web Hosting club. A few days earlier, relative to the time of this recording, she was invited to talk to the Thai police headquarter to share her experience about web hosting. So out of curiosity, we invited her over to share her story about her encounter with the law enforcement communities. This was one lady who really knew a lot about the Thai ICT movement.

I was very impressed with the Innocent concert DVD, the 5.1-system audio on the DVD was, by far, the best audio on any Thai concert DVD I have ever listened to. So on these two episodes, we invited @muenue and @mr_aum to share their experiences in the concert production and post-production. We went through pre-production, production and post-production processes. It was an enjoyable recording session. This was the second episode.

A long-time listener of Changkhui and great commentator on our webboard appeared on this episode. Visanu Euarchukiati, the webmaster and podcaster of http://www.KhaiKhan.in.th, was a long-time Astronomy enthusiast and a member of the Thai Astronomical Society (http://thaiastro.nectec.or.th). He shared his knowledge on the topic with our friends, Piyatad and Peng. With a party of four, the conversation took for hours and we had to break it into two episodes. We covered from where, when, time-of-night, equipment and FAQ on the topic. Sadly, the very first 50 minutes of the recording was mysteriously missing from the Garage Band recording. We had to schedule k.Visanu for a Skype recording to repeat it just for the part. So on this recording, you would hear the re-recording and whatever-was-left on the first recording. And this was the second and final episode of the topic.

After meeting him on several occasions at Wawee, public events and social gathering, we finally had a chance to talk to him at Changkhui. About over a month ago, he posted his comments on Twitter about taxes policy and that by itself could be topic in Changkhui so we invited him over. We touched on various issues; Thai competitiveness in IT market, how to lure international companies into Thailand and so on. Here was a good introduction to know him and you could see more of him at Pawoot.com, Twitter.com/Pawoot and Tarad.com.

Changkhui: 159. Buying Smart Phones

1 Hour 40 minutes - February 8, 2010

Audio Download (MP3 45 MB)

Back in the first half of 2008, people would not have much of a choice in terms of selecting a smart phone, most, if not all, would have to pick iPhone. However, in the last quarter of 2009 and up until now, it ain' t that easy anymore. There are iPhone, Blackberry, Android and, yes, Nokia is still around. @ripmilla had direct experience in using all of them and was very happy with iPhone, while @FordAntitrust was content with his Blackberry. Sorry, I am still using my 2-year old Nokia N95 8GB. However, at the end of the conversation, we did not have any real conclusion on which was a winner but it should have some ideas to those who were interested in getting one.

This episode was recorded on January 6, 2010, a few weeks before the Apple announcement of iPad. Koson was in Bangkok for the Christmas break, we met briefly and still had to record this via Skype. He picked three topics to cover. Geocaching seemed to be his favorite game at the time that we spoke.

Changkhui: 157. Thai-characters Encoding

1 Hour 15 minutes - January 25, 2010

Audio Download (MP3 37 MB)

In 2007, I had an opportunity to attend the Apple Pro Day event in Bangkok. One of the talk I listened to to was khun Kajorn Bhirakit's session, he was talking about workflow in Adobe's InDesign. He pointed out about the Thai-character encoding standard that was missing and caused a few headaches among the Thai publishing industry; a simple txt file could potentially gave different display, depending on which operating system and software you were using to open it. More than 2 years went by and I managed to have a chance to talk to him. We talked at my place and he patiently explained what went wrong at the beginning and some possible solutions in the future. You can follow him at twitter.com/Kajorn and ThaiAdobeUser.com.

Audio Download (MP3 46 MB)

We were suggested and introduced by Guzzie Ang to Leong Wong-savuns, a Thai who worked in a CG production company in the USA. He was part of the post-production team for the movie Avatar. Because of our lack of depth for the topic, we invited a listener over to help, he was @NotJiam, who was an award winner for his animation during college years. This was one episode where we felt we should have prepared for the discussion, however, Loeng saved the day by sharing his working experience.

Seeing a referral from http://www.thaivisa.com, so we checked who the person was. Rikker Dockum turned out to be an American who could speak Thai very fluently. Too bad, he did not update his blog (Thai101.net) That often anymore. It took us sometime to schedule a recording session due to his hectic schedule, but anyway, when he came, he actually prepared the recording materials, so the episode was running on auto-pilot mode. He came with a few Thai books that he recommended to anyone interested in reading Thai materials, including Thai, of course. You can also follow him at Twitter.com/Thai101.

Due to an episode on BusinessWeek This Week's Cover Story podcast on October 22 and one on Stanford's Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders October 28, with a conversation during lunch with office colleagues, those three incidents prompted me to make an episode on it. We were lucky to have @meneeeee and @sitdh to help us on the issue. We then went on to talk about the Twtcon event on November 26. The event info was at http://www.twtcon.com.

Changkhui: 5 Likes/Dislikes of 2009, episode 1

Audio Download (MP3 41 MB)

We got some help on this episode. There would be a Twitter event in Pattaya on December 12, 2009, more information at http://unseenpattaya.do.in.th. One of our long-time listeners happened to be a DJ at a local radio station in Pattaya, his name was Eddie and the radio station was FM 106.60, http://www.fm10660.com. He produced an episode on the event, having both the guest and the host of the event on the show and passed it along if we could re-distribute. Hey, that saved me for another week of episode.

Changkhui: 149. GPS

59 minutes - November 23, 2009

Audio Download (MP3 28 MB)

After many postpones, we finally managed to record this episode in an office. Having noticed the popularity of GPS this year, we had to find someone to explain the practical use of it. Surached and Toom were my office colleagues who have been using it lately, so this was easy to find someone who could talk about this. All in all, the technology had been quite practical for some time even in Thailand and there were many practical uses of it, other than just maps.

Changkhui: 148. Plajazz

1 Hour 11 minutes - November 9, 2009

Audio Download (MP3 34 MB)

As a parting note when I met Patchara (iHear), he suggested that I could talk to his friend, Plajazz, the trumpet man on iHear Band on how he went from an engineer to a full-time musician. Since we had no episode in stock, so I contacted him on Twitter and he duly responded within minutes, so we met on Skype on November 10 at almost midnight. Plajazz, Kriengkrai Suntipojana, had been playing trumpet since grade 7. He continued to play during his engineering years at Chulalongkorn university. After graduation, he went through a few soul-searching years, until he realized that he was, really, a musician. This guy was still young and it was likely that Changkhui had spotted another star before it would shine in due time. His site was at http://www.plajazz.com and you might follow him at Twitter.com/Plajazz.

Changkhui: 147. Virus

Audio Download (MP3 38 MB)

Due to a request from a listener, suggesting us to talk about computer viruses, we invited @Nsom (Twitter.com/nsom) to share his knowledge. Nsom talked about evolutions on computer viruses since late 80s to present. Though we did not point out specifically what programs each was using, we did provide a guideline on how one should practice and go about venturing into the cyberworld full of viruses. Another outdoor episode, sorry for the sound quality.

Changkhui: 146. iHear at Wawee

1 Hour 10 minutes - October 26, 2009

Audio Download (MP3 34 MB)

For the last 2 months, I could not help but notice a new phenomenon in Bangkok among geeks and music lovers. Every sunday afternoon, a community is forming at a coffee shop. iHear is a loosely-formed band among friends, starting with @plajazz and @iPattt. This is a truly a social-network phenomenon. Pat is a entrepreneur and musician, he actually plays on stage and for studio recording, and the same time, he co-owns a web development company. Pat talks about how this is started, how he uses social network to market his audience. I witnessed this on Sunday October 25, 2009. You could see some of these performance at this YouTube Playlist. You may follow the band members on the following Twitter accounts, http://twitter.com/plajazz, http://twitter.com/INattt, http://twitter.com/feelinglomo, http://twitter.com/MuzikBank, http://twitter.com/iChattt and http://twitter.com/sexdrum.

1 Hours 21 minutes- October 12, 2009

Audio Download (MP3 37 MB)

Not a tech topic, but purely out of curiousity, we talked about the Thai fooltball league fever. It would have been impossible a decade ago to see what we witnessed today in Thailand. There were actually thousands of people who actually paid to see Thai soccer players play in a stadium. I saw tweets after tweets from Champ (twitter.com/tvchampion) who described or commented in various matches that he went to see. It was a rather niche topic, which might not be of interest to a few people.

Changkhui: 144. Windows 7

2 Hours - October 5, 2009

Audio Download (MP3 56 MB)

Microsoft successfully created a hype over its up-and-coming operating Windows 7. Their Thai marketing effort has been impressive, they went to various IT communities and gatherings.

We heard it on This Week in Tech episode 213 with John Graham-Cumming (http://www.jgc.org) to tell about his blog and petition to the British government about Alan Turing. It was a fascinating story. Something everyone wished he or she could accomplish in a life time. Anyway, we talked briefly about Alan Turing and the petition. We also have a new section in Changkhui, asking listeners to contribute their stories. This week, it was a story from twitter.com/attasun.

I meant to be there to record the event so that we could distribute it on Changkhui, but I ended up being a moderator. Arthit (Twitter.com/bact) was s'posed to be there but due to family matter, I was asked to perform the duty. Anyway, it was fun. The event was held at TCDC to promote Creative Common awareness on the Music theme. There were Kittsak Triyanont (Monotone) Patchara Kerdsiri and Jakkrit Talawat (TiGERiDEA), Athip Jittaruek (Underground Thrash Metal Project), Sarinee Achavanuntakul (Creative Commons Thailand), Kanes Paktrakasettrin and Pornpat Chevewat (Kanesha) to create awareness.

1 hour 42 minutes - September 7, 2009

Audio Download (MP3 47 MB)

A light-hearted episode on miscellaneous social etiquettes. We gathered the original Changkhui podcasters to mark our third year anniversary episode. Also, the day coincided with the Twitter Bangkok 3 event, which was held right next door to our place, so we had 3 Changkhui listeners who went to the event and passed by to join us. Due to insufficient resource, we had to suffer another poor audio-quality episode, with very noisy children background noise. Soryy for the vulgar language.

1 hour 18 minutes - August 17, 2009

This was one of those unplanned and unscheduled episode. We meant to record an episode with Arthit (Twitter.com/bact) but he was nowhere to be seen, so I thought we would cancel this. But then k.Wichai (Twitter.com/XnonNano) was on Twitter so I invited him to over to share his experience on producing podcasts for the Siam Technology College (http://www.siamtechu.net). This was the college that was presented on Apple Pro Day in Bangkok last year, we also talked about them in episode 101. About 7 minutes into the recording, Arthit turned up on Skype so we invited him over to join the conversation. Turn out to be quite an interesting mix. Sorry for the sound quality but the content should more than make up for it. Thank you both khun Wichai Chareonchokepanich and khun Arthit Suriyawongkul.

Changkhui: 137. Everyday Webs

Audio Download- MP3 44 MB

1 hour 35 minutes - August 10, 2009

Just to compare notes, we talked about webs which we visited on daily basis. This time, we had a regular listener to join us, Champ (Twitter.com/Sitdh and http://www.We.in.th). Of course, we have the usual suspects for Thai geeks, such as Siampod, Freemac, BlogNone, ThaiMacClub, but there were quite a few surprises.

Changkhui: 136. Forward Mails

Audio Download- MP3 40 MB

1 hour 25 minutes - August 3, 2009

We intended to try do some experiments on Skype and ended up recording an episode. mEnE (Twitter.com/mEnE078 and mEnE078.wordpress.com) helped us out in preparing the script for the show and we had an honor of having Mor Maew on our show. Mor Maew (Twitter.com/Mor_Maew and Mor-Maew.exteen.com), was a well-known figure in Pantip.com community, with a reputation of providing scientific facts to counter baseless rumors and forward mails. Of course, he was a long-time Changkhui listener. No need to mention much about mEnE, by now, she was considered a regular host. We talked about etiquette in sending and replying mails and Mor Maew also shared his experience in how to counter some persistent rumors. You can see a sample of this at Pantip topic with this YouTube video.

Changkhui: 135. Predictably Irrational

Audio Download- MP3 41 MB

1 hour 29 minutes - July 27, 2009

From one of the most famous books that came out in 2008, Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely. Worawat did all the hard work of preparing information from the book to produce this episode. The book focused on Behavioral Economics. Dan became very famous from the book that he was invited to talk at TED talk. The book were full of interesting experiments so we invited Chalermporn (Ning), Surachai (Chai) and Sutin (Ood) to comment on these experiments.

Changkhui: 134. H1N1 Flu

Audio Download- MP3 29 MB

1 hour 4 minutes - July 20, 2009

An episode born out of a suggestion from our familiar friend on Twitter. So we invited her to join us again, though it's the 1st time she joined us in 2009, mEnE (Twitter.com/mEnE078) was back in this episode. Also, another listener saw what we tweeted so he joined in as well, and that was Ben Philharmonics (http://www.Twitter.com/philharmonic). Since this would be about the current epidemic in Thailand, so we had Zybernav (http://www.Twitter.com/Zybernav) back to share his experience in dealing with it. This Skype conversation was heavily edited, due to very long delay, almost 10 seconds in some instances, on a Skype connection. mEnE and Ben shared how their companies deal with the epidemic.

Changkhui: 133. Webboard Etiquette

Audio Download- MP3 41 MB

1 hour 30 minutes - July 13, 2009

Having read many topic threads on various webboards, I could not help but notice some unspoken rules on some of them. Therefore, we invited 9aum (twiiter.com/9aum) and Ford (twitter.com/FordAntitrust) to share their experiences. Both were webmasters and administrators on http://www.thaithinkpad.com and http://www.thaihi5.com and run their own blogs. The conversation went from the usual problems on webboards to what to do when you were new to the community and went on to touch on some aspects on software and tools selections.

Changkhui: 132. WolframAlpha

Audio Download- MP3 29 MB

1 hour 2 minutes - July 6, 2009

What was WolframAlpha? And who was this Stephen Wolfram? These two questions popped up on my head when I first heard about it in This Week in Tech #195. So we asked Piyatad (Job) and Worawat to do some research for the episode so we could talk about it. This is in reference to the site, http://www.WolframAlpha.com, the computational knowledge engine (as written on the site). The service was good, full of results and we were all impressed and hope to spread some news for this site.

Changkhui: 131.Telecom in Singapore by Adit Harinasuta

Audio Download- MP3 22 MB

48 minutes - June 29, 2009

We are honored to have khun Adit Harinasuta as our guest on this episode. He was once the chief commercial officer at TOT and went on to become the Head of Products and Services at Starhub, Singapore. He gave a somewhat different point of view on having a 3G service, since he had an experience of offering that to Singapore customers. Also, a glimpse of future telecom operators. I have to apologize for the background noise (from my two sons), but that's something I have to live with under the circumstances.

Changkhui: 130. Quad Geeks

Audio Download- MP3 31 MB

1 hour 7 minutes - June 22, 2009

For some reasons, Ood, Job, mEnE, Aum, Tum and Kangg visited my place on June 20, 2009. Some came at the same time, some came alone. Anyway, since Aum and Tum brought along a new MacBook Pro and Kangg had also updated his iPhone to the new firmware 3.0 so we decided to make an episode out of it. Since the content was really going into DualGeek's territory and they would have done a much better job than we did, so we named this episode as a tribute to DualGeek. This was really a Mac-oriented episode.

Changkhui: 129. Naming a Panda

Audio Download - MP3 24 MB

51 minutes - June 17, 2009

Since the baby panda was delivered on May 27, 2009 at Chiangmai Zoo, it had gained some publicity. As part of the job, I had to participate the Panda naming event on Monday June 15, 2009 at Thai Post Convention Hall, Bangkok. The event was meant to narrow down the names of 10,000+ titles to 4. There were some 30 celebrities gathered to help selecting the names. However, there were some doubts about how the voting process was done. So I decided to share what I saw on the day. Thank you Thai Post (http://www.thailandpost.com) and the Zoo Organization for the event (http://www.zoothailand.org).

Changkhui: 128. Google Wave and WWDC 2009 by Koson

Audio Download - MP3 21 MB

46 minutes - June 15, 2009

Koson suggested the idea of talking about Google Wave but I was pre-occupied with my son, so we had to postpone it for a week which fitted nicely with WWDC 2009 schedule. So here we go. We talked about the 2 events and some other events that took place during the week.

Changkhui: 127. Surviving in Crisis by Suphajee Suthumpun

Audio Download - MP3 34 MB

1 hour 14 minutes - June 8, 2009

Suphajee Suthumpun, from IBM Headquarter, gave a speech at the Prachachat event on June 4, 2009. Due to family matter, I had no choice but to use this for the episode. Thank you Prachachat for the invitation and khun Suphajee Suthumpun for her speech.

Changkhui: 126. Design Pai Bon Pai

Audio Download - MP3 33 MB

1 hour 12 minutes - May 25, 2009

We were honored to host one of the first, if not the first, podcasters in Thailand, Wee Viraporn. He was a co-founder of the Dual Geek podcast. A month ago, he launched a new podcast with a different group of friends and listeners, Design Pai Bon Pai (http://www.designpaibonpai.com). The podcast was meant for those in the design industry, with as many as seven founders. We started with Design Pai Bon Pai in mind, but manage to talk about something else along the way.

Changkhui: 125. Sling and Kindle App

Audio Download - MP3 24 MB

52 minutes - May 18, 2009

The last time he was in Changkhui was last year, meaning a very long time ago. As usual, we asked he could share whatever toys or gadgets he had been putting his hands on. So he picked Sling, as from SlingMedia.com and the Amazon's Kindle app on iPhone. Then we talked about something that fit-in in between a notebook and an iPhone; something a netbook had been trying to fill in.

Changkhui: 124. 9aum Strikes Back

Audio Download - MP3 17 MB

39 minutes - May 11, 2009

Not because we mentioned him in the previous episode that he stroke back. But rather he had a story to tell and it made a great timing for him to tell it now. Going back a few years ago, 9aum was working in a company that was arrested for not using copyright software. Things did not turn out to be as bad as it seemed but it was a costly lesson, nevertheless. You may see his blog at ScriptDD.com

Changkhui: 123. 10+2 Recommended Thai to Follow on Twitter by Ford Antitrust

Audio Download - MP3 30 MB

1 hour 5 minutes - May 4, 2009

Ford dropped by at home, so we might as well make an episode out of it. And no buzz word was hotter than Twitter in April 2009, it's everywhere you listened to. Since Ford was quite active himself in Twitter, having 600+ followers and 600+ followings, so we asked who he would recommend. He came up with sugree, markpeak, bact, celerachan, YashimaExteen, mormmam, plynoi, kengggg, rawitat and 9aum. I also added Adamy and iWhale.

Changkhui: 122. iPod by Kangg

Audio Download - MP3 41 MB

1 hour 30 minutes - April 27, 2009

It's been a wonderful experience using iPod for the last three years, so we decided to make an episode out of it. Kangg was, ofcourse, an obvious choice. We talked about what the first iPod was like, how Apple branched out to varieties of iPods and what we thought would happen to Ipod in the future.

Changkhui: 121. ER in April 2009

Audio Download - MP3 24 MB

52 minutes - April 24, 2009

One of our long-time listeners, Zybernav, happened to have a first-hand experience in handling those who were injured during the Bangkok riots in April 9 - 15, 2009. He was a doctor, who volunteered at Narenthorn EMS Center (http://www.narenthorn.or.th). His working location was right at the ground zero and he was there. However, after all that we had heard, the situation at ER was not as bad as we, at least me, as we thought it would be. Since it was still fresh in our memory at the time of our recording, so we decided to launch it in mid-week. You can follow him at twitter.com/zybernav.

Changkhui: 120. AIS vs. DTAC at Prachachat Seminar, part 2

Audio Download - MP3 39 MB

1 hour 24 minutes - April 20, 2009

Saved by Prachachat (http://www.prachachat.net). It's been a month since the latest episode. Prachachat gave us a recorded seminar, which took place at Khaosod building on October 25, 2007. Wichian Mektrakarn (President, AIS), Sanchai Thiewprasertkul (Chief Marketing Officer, AIS), Thana Thienachariya (Chief Commercial Officer, DTAC) and Dr.Ketchayong Skowratananont (Senior Vice President, DTAC) were all on stage to share their experience on competing with each other. It was a very friendly seminar, considering how they competed against each other in the market. This was the second and final part of the seminar.

Saved by Prachachat (http://www.prachachat.net). It's been a month since the latest episode. Prachachat gave us a recorded seminar, which took place at Khaosod building on October 25, 2007.

It was a very friendly seminar, considering how they competed against each other in the market. This was the first part of the seminar. We would also be providing the video version sometime later. Lazy, really!

Changkhui: 118. It happened at Prachatai.com

Audio Download - MP3 27 MB

59 minutes - March 16, 2009

Chiranuch Premchaiporn was kind enough to share her experience in dealing with the police on the computer crime matter. She was the web director of the Prachatai.com, the online news website. She was arrested on Friday March 6, 2009. Sarinee, Fringer.org, was kind enough to introduce us to her. We tried look at the matter on the lighter side and hoped everyone who run a web site could learn from this.

Audio Download - MP3 13 MB

28 minutes - March 9, 2009

After a few upcountry trips, we just managed to have time to record an episode. This time we referred to the event on February 20, the launch of Hua-Hin municipal Wi-Fi service. Also, if you are reading this, please drop us an email if you are interested in supporting us on our new Changkhui shirt. We will be posting some photos in the next few days.

Changkhui: 116. Innovative Warrior, Chalermpon Punnotok

Audio Download - MP3 23 MB

50 minutes - March 2, 2009

The Go Training Live Talk on February 27, 2009, was well received, though with half-full audience. I personally knew one of the speakers, Chalermpon Punnotok, of CT Asia, www.CTasia.com. Since he was in the IT industry and the talk was in line with Changkhui, so we thought it was only appropriate to put it here. If you like a TED-Talk-like seminar, you may want to visit our site for more of the talk.

Changkhui: 115. Everyday Programs

Audio Download - MP3 21 MB

47 minutes - February 16, 2009

It's been a while since the previous episode. One word, slack. Anyway, we are back with some news. First of all, we would like to promote the Go Training Live Talk on February, check www.traininginfomedia.com, in February 27. And then we have another new podcast, Open Chuankhui, at www.onopen.com. And then we discussed about programs we used on daily basis.

Changkhui: 112b. the last of 5 likes / 5 dislikes of 2008

Audio Download - MP3 44 MB

1 hour 35 minutes - January 28, 2009

This was recorded on December 30, 2008. Chalermporn (Ning) called in from Yala to discuss about the topic with Bay and Nok in Bangkok. However, due to high-noise recording, we had to get some help to, at least, make it less painful to listen to. Thank you khun Wit (http://www.polypink.com) for helping us on this. As mentioned on 112a episode, this episode may tire those who had enough of the topic and it could be too personal to some, so you may want to skip this episode, hence a sub-episode, not a full episode. Still, it's a fun episode to listen to.

Changkhui: 114. Zip Car

Audio Download - MP3 23 MB

51 minutes - January 26, 2009

Having listened to the audio book version of "Tuned In" by Craig Stull, Phil Myers and David Meerman Scott, we thought we could make an episode out of one example. Zip Car was mentioned as a Tuned In product. We have never heard of the concept so everyone was given a task to find out more and discussed. In short, this is a community car concept, which is somewhat different from traditional car rental service. For more information, you can visit the http://www.zipcar.com site, and link such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uux8uSRDFK0, can provide a visual explanation.

Changkhui: 113. Alaskan Named Mob

Audio Download - MP3 25 MB

55 minutes - January 19, 2009

As luck would have it, another listener came to the rescue, so we have another episode even though I planned to forego it for this week. Thank you so much. This time, our listener came from Alaska, he was an exchange student there from the AFS program. For the record, I think he is our youngest listener that I am aware of. Mob just came back from a trip to MacWorld 2009 in San Francisco, so he shared his experience during the trip, obviously really had a great time. And now, he yearned for CES 2010.

Changkhui: 112a. Creative Common and CES 2009

Audio Download - MP3 37 MB

1 hour 19 minutes - January 12, 2008

I planned to rest for a couple of weeks due to work and the new project. However, Ford was gracious enough to do some research and contribute, as usual, to this episode. We gave some introduction on Creative Common and its practical use. Then Ford talked about all he could gather from CES 2009 in Las Vegas while he was at Nakornsawan. And this was episode 112a, simply, because we had another episode on 5 likes/dislikes but thought it might be too much for a topic so you might want to skip 112b if you have heard enough of 5 likes/dislikes.

Changkhui: 111. Happy New Year by mEnE

Audio Download - MP3 32 MB

1 hour 11 minutes - December 31, 2008

We enjoyed 5 likes and 5 dislikes so much that we could not stop it. This time, we got mEnE078 to contribute and, mine oh mine, she did not disappoint us. This 23-year-old lady was mature for her age.

Changkhui: 110. 5 Likes and 5 Dislikes by Ford, Phz and Ben

Audio Download - MP3 53 MB

1 hour 56 minutes - December 29, 2008

This was supposed to be another lazy episode for me, since I asked some of our long-time listeners to join the show. This ended up to be one of the longest episodes. We shared the top 5 what we liked and disliked for the year 2008. There was a technical glitch midway into the recorded. Thankfully, Phz pointed out the problem so we managed to correct it but was a little too late for some significant minutes in the recording. Hopefully, the content did make up for it.

Changkhui: 109. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell

Audio Download - MP3 31 MB

1 hour 7 minutes - December 22, 2008

We intended not to have any more episode for 2008, but a phone call changed all that. We would like to pass along what we shared on the phone. Also, since we both finished Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell so we shared what we had read and what we thought about it. In short, we both enjoyed it. At the end, we shared what we personally liked and disliked for 2008.

Changkhui: 108. Patama Chantaruck, Managing Director, Microsoft Thailand

Audio Download - MP3 27 MB

57 minutes - December 1, 2008

Prachachart Business was generous enough to invite us to their 3-day annual seminars. Since two of the seminars featured khun Sorakorn Adulyanont as the show host, so we would put those there on our program. We would like to thank Prachachart Business for letting us put this on our podcast, especially khun Sompratana Kraywichian, the editor and khun Cherry Nakjaroen, the reporter. Here was the second day of the seminar.

Changkhui: 107. Anuphong Assavabhokhin of Asian Property

1 hour 35 minutes - November 24, 2008

Prachachart Business was generous enough to invite us to their 3-day annual seminars. Since two of the seminars featured khun Sorakorn Adulyanont as the show host, so we would put those there on our program. I especially liked the talk provided by khun Anuphong Assavabhokhin of Asian Property, so we decided to put it here. Also, we were getting lazy. He talked about how he prepared to cope with the looming crisis and how much the property business had changed in the last decade. We would like to thank Prachachart Business for letting us put this on our podcast, especially khun Sompratana Kraywichian, the editor and khun Cherry Nakjaroen, the reporter.

Chankghui: 106. Music Innovation 2

Audio Download - MP3 49 MB

1 hour 47 minutes - November 17, 2008

The more the merrier, so the saying goes. And so the episode duration. With four on the episode, this was one of the longest, if not the longest, episodes of Changkhui. Ben was curious after listening to episode 103, so he asked for an encore. We managed to pull mEnE to join and get Phz to share his experience. This was more towards home recording, rather than the innovation side. A rather technical for non-music lovers.

Chankghui: 105. Microsoft's PDC 2008

Audio Download - MP3 33 MB

1 hour 12 minutes - November 10, 2008

Ford was all excited about the Microsoft event that he would like to share it with the audience. This guy deserved to be a brand ambassador or a product manager. The PDC 2008 was Microsoft's equivalence to Apple's WWDC. We both never attended the event, just shared what we heard over various podcasts and from Microsoft's site. This was somewhat an IT hardcore episode.

Chankghui: 104. WiMAX Update and Crowdsourcing

Audio Download - MP3 24 MB

52 minutes - November 3, 2008

We read the Sprint's news on WiMAX rollout in Baltimore with some excitement. It was a good sign, though with some mixed reviews; good on speed but bad on coverage. Then we talked about the latest book we both finished, Crowdsourcing by Jeff Howe. It was one of the best books we have read this year, not that we read that many. Apart from what everyone knew about Wikipedia, the book took us to many different projects where crowdsourcing is applied. A good read, in short.

Chankghui: 103. Music Innovation

Audio Download - MP3 35 MB

1 hour 17 minutes - October 27, 2008

A few posts on our forum triggered the idea for this episode. Our listener, Phz and more at http://www.passionsound.com, shared his expertise in music and sound production. We asked for some software recommendations for beginner, some examples for music purely generated by software and music innovations in recent years. He surely did not not disappoint me. We learnt a few things for the episode. Also, towards the end of the conversations, things turned somewhat personal, but it was in the spirit of the conversation. Hope you all do not mind. We use Amon Tobin, album Foley Room and BT, album This Binary Universe as our samples during the discussion.

Chankghui: 102. Wordcamp Bangkok 2008 and Radiohead Results

Audio Download - MP3 33 MB

1 hour 12 minutes - October 20, 2008

Because both of us went to the event so we could talked about this as our first-hand experience. The event was held at TCDC, Emporium Tower on October 19, 2008. The event was a gathering of Wordpress users in Thailand. It was fun and enjoyable. Full information at http://wordcamp.kapook.com. Too bad, our mEnE wasn't there. She was at her graduation rehearsal. Then we talked about the news release of Radiohead's In Rainbow album. The news did not get as much publicity as it did a year ago. So we would like to make a note of their result and hope to see more things to come along the line.

Changkhui: 101. Apple Pro Day, Bangkok

Audio Download- MP3 33 MB

1 hour 12 minutes - October 13, 2008

mEnE came back by popular demands. This time we talked about the recent Apple Pro Day event on October 9, 2008. I attended the whole event on the first day and it was very enjoyable and a nice surprise on the podcast session, and so we talked about what I experienced on the day. And another topic came up when we came across the 163rd episode on This Week in Tech, when Kevin Mitnick shared his experience at an airport. It gave a very different picture of Kevin Mitnick from the book Take Down. Hope to see more of all on http://www.twitter.com/mene078 and http://www.Twitter.com/hongsyok.

Changkhui: 100. 4 Wired Articles

Audio Download - MP3 34 MB

1 hour 3 minutes - October 6, 2008

For the 100th episode, we managed to get all founders in the episode, even Koson from New York. We talked about 4 articles from Wired magazine; 1) Driven: Shai Agassi's Audacious Plan to Put Electric Cars on the Road by Daniel Roth, September 2008, 2) Google's Open Source Android OS Will Free the Wireless Web By Daniel Roth, July 2008, 3) Analog Meets Its Match in Red Digital Cinema's Ultrahigh-Res Camera By Michael Behar, September 2008 and 4) Meet Leland Chee, the Star Wars Franchise Continuity Cop By Chris Baker, September 2008.

Changkhui: 99.5 mEnE Ain't Geek

Audio Download - MP3 8 MB

16 minutes - October 1, 2008

We gave some incorrect information about the game Spore, so we decided to correct it by launching this episode. Ford somehow managed to get his Net connection up, but it was barely passable.

Changkhui: 99. A Geek Named mEnE

Audio Download - MP3 23 MB

49 minutes - September 29, 2008

We tried to make a 3-way conference among mEnE, Ford and I, but failed. Somehow Ford had a bad internet connection. So We ended up talking with mEnE only. She prepared the story for the game Spore, we exchanged our view on Chrome and, mainly, on Twitter. The story she told us just showed how geeky she was.

Changkhui: 98. Software License

Audio Download - MP3 42 MB

1 hours 31 minutes - September 22, 2008

Due to his post at http://www.blognone.com about his personal use of copyrighted software license, Ford would like to elaborate more. Now, instead of having just 2 guys talking about computers, it would be more interesting to find a lady geek to help us facilitate the conversation and we had our mEnE to do the job. As should be expected, the topics went from software license to copyrights in songs, fonts, movies and Open Source. It was quite enjoyable and we ended spending 90 minutes talking about it.

Changkhui: 97. Shit Happened

Audio Download - MP3 19 MB

41 minutes - September 15, 2008

Due to hectic schedule, the program was disrupted for two weeks. Passakorn came back to share what he went through during the period. This was more about project management as well as resource management. He had to deliver a product in 15 days, which, in the end, he failed to deliver. The episode was on lessons learnt from the project.

Changkhui: 96. Life in LA by MonoBangkok

Audio Download - MP3 17 MB

37 minutes - August 25, 2008

Having been chatting on MSN for a while, we felt like we could make an episode out of this, so we might as well. MonoBangkok was one of our listeners, who resided in LA for the last 6 years. However, his life there was not on bed of roses. He had to work in a Thai restaurant for 2 years before he could afford a place in a MBA class. It could have been an episode on Study Abroad, but more the content was more on life there rather than on the study part, so we decided to put it here, saving us another episode, too.

Changkhui: 95. iPhone by DTAC and Thailand Next Web Apps 2008

Audio Download - MP3 26 MB

56 minutes - August 20, 2008

As to mark the event, we launched this episode for our 2nd-year anniversary. We managed to get Pakorn, Senior Vice President of DTAC, to share some information about iPhone, what's the big deal of having it in Thailand and when we can see this. We were very thankful for the info. And then we put mEnE, one of our listeners, Kangg (Siampod) and Ford to share their experience at the Thailand Next Web Apps 2008 on August 16, 2008. It was nice to hear such movement in Thailand and hopefully, we would see much more than this at Bar Camp Bangkok 2.

Changkhui: 94. Internet at Work

Audio Download - MP3 20 MB

42 minutes - August 18, 2008

This was supposed to be a four-man episode, but due to unscheduled work, we had to settle with three. Piyatad (Job) was back, sneaking from the back door at home, to join us. We talked about work-life balance at the office. It was getting harder and harder to say which was work and which was not. Also, we talked about the use of Twitter and Job had an idea to use it at work and family.

Changkhui: 93. 3G iPhone Apps

Audio Download - MP3 24 MB

52 minutes - August 11, 2008

We engaged Koson to share his 3G iPhone experience, now that he had it. The usual suspects turned up during the conversation, such as short-battery-life problem and MobileMe, but the apps were nice, and some were even free. We ended our conversation on our appearance on Prachachart Thurakit.

Changkhui: 92. Notebooks 2

Audio Download - MP3 39 MB

1 hour 25 minutes - August 4, 2008

Due to comments on our webboards and, also, lack of creativity on my part, we talked about the notebooks. This time, we focused on monitor, battery, mouse, keyboard, harddisk and power supply. We also mentioned the up-and-coming BarCamp Bangkok 2 (http://www.barcampbangkok.org) on Saturday August 30, 2008.

Changkhui: 91. Being a Manager 2

Audio Download - MP3 32 MB

1 hour 8 minutes - July 28, 2008

Had we known that this would be a popular episode, we would have prepared much more. Obviously, this was recorded directly after the previous episode. As usual, Wiroon prepared a script and everyone contributed accordingly. Again, don't quote us or use this as a guideline, we just shared our experience here.

Changkhui: 90. Being a Manager

Audio Download - MP3 25 MB

54 minutes - July 21, 2008

Having heard a few arguments lately, we decided to share our experiences on this. Facing some difficult staffs, who would like to be managers, but were not qualified, we talked about what kind of qualities we look for when we promoted ones. We would like to emphasize here that not everyone wanted to be a manager and we were not discussing about leadership and manager, either. Nothing ideal or theoretical, we just shared our experiences.

Out of the blues, we were invited to air at FM 100.5 at MCOT on the very day we were called. Of course, we obliged. A lot of the stories we talked about were mentioned a few times here and there in our podcasts, but for the major audience of the shows, these should be quite new.

Recording directly after the previous episode, so the mood of the discussion continued. Ood elaborated more on what he had read from Bundit Uengrungsri book. Surprisingly, Wiroon shined on this episode, and was quite funny. Sorry for the language, it was a little informal and vulgar.

Changkhui: 79. Connection 1

31 minutes - April 28, 2008

Sutin was inspired by an article he read about the power of connection, so he hosted the episode and gathered some friends to share their networking experience.

Aldridge to share his experience in dealing with the situation as both a listener and a presenter. We luckily caught him just a few days before he went overseas.

We watched the Kapook press conference at http://duocore.ch7.com/xxxkapookcom with great interest. we were quite sure that not many people outside of the IT world would be able to understand the conversation, at least I don't know the term Black Hat that was mentioned a few times in the video. Also with after-press blogs from http://blog.aanthe.com/?p=28 and http://www.prachatai.com/05web/th/home/11656, we decided to talk about what the issue really was and pay more attention to the technical side, rather than the social implications.

We then asked Ford to share his knowledge on MicroSoft's SilverLight. The Keynote was interesting, it featured an interview between Guy Kawasaki and Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO). This was a rather technical episode. Also, we were invited by DuoCore (http://www.duocore.tv) to join a seminar at TK Park, Central World, on Sunday March 23, 10:30-12:30. There would be a few Thai internet TV producers there. If you are interested.

Audio Download - MP3 24MB

52 minutes - March 10, 2008

We first heard about Hero Master from the Manager.Co.Th site, this was a role-playing game developed by three Thai guys, who loved playing games. It was great for the facts that they did get a lot of exposure on IT media, they were mentioned in BlogNone.Com, DuoCore.Tv, BearTai TV and a few other sites, all encouraging. Then a few weeks later, there was a post at DuoCore.TV that they might have to close shop much faster than they had anticipated. What happened, we had to ask. It was the same old story keep repeating itself in different industries, they has to succumb to the power of software piracy. So we invited them over to, at least, give them some exposure and share their thoughts on the situation. You could visit them at http://www.bigbugstudio.com, and our guest on this episode was Warit Achavanantakul.

Ron Conway, Founder of Angel Investors LP, and Mike Maples, Founder of Maples Investments, talked about their thoughts on their careers. We can't help but think of SIPA projects when they talked about the importance of being at Silicon Valley.

I was away for a week due to heavy workload and I had a video to prove it. I was a part of the WiMax trial team at UIH (http://www.uih.co.th). Our president, Vichai Bencharongkakul took a few press to demonstrate WiMax capability by taking them on a cruise and demo internet connection at 1km away from the beach. Things went well as you could see on the video clip. There were some surprising moments here and there, but all were good. This clip could be a little bit personal but I think it's still fun to watch.

Changkhui: 62. Net Neutrality

Audio Download - MP3 16MB

35 minutes - December 10, 2007

We waited a year until the discussion died down in the USA, then we decided to talk about it, simply because we did not really understand the issue back then. Not that we really understood it now, but we thought we had a fair grasp of the topic. Worawat and Passakorn exchanged their understanding of the topic. If we did not hear much feedback on this, we thought we would steer away from the telecom topics and try something else.

Worawat updated the progress of WiMax in Thailand. In short, there was none. We tried to explain what happened during the last few months in Thailand, comparing to the development on the US side. Then we picked a recommended topic in Pantip.com from the Silom community. This post/topic were series written by Uncle Add, a well-known contributor in Silom community, he shared his experience on how he became involved in selling computer in 1972, representing Burroughs. The most interesting part, so far, was how his company, Yip In Soy, managed to beat IBM in the Thai Farmer Bank (the name at the time) project in the early years, when his company virtually had no footprint in the industry. You might want to follow up the story from http://www.pantip.com/cafe/silom/topic/B6072388/B6072388.html (his latest post, with links to previous posts in the thread) and at this blog, http://lungadd.pantown.com.

Instead, khun Sarinee Achavanuntakul, the writer of http://www.fringer.org, gave us a telephone interview about the Justice Online course that we discussed last week. She had her first-hand experience during her years at Harvard. You might want to follow her articles at her blog, at Prachachart Thurakit and at http://www.onopen.com. Finally, we introduced an interesting blog at http://angkul007.wordpress.com. This was written by khun Angkul Artornpathai, a retired policeman. He was quite famous during his hey days.

And at the end, we talked about the content that we saw at http://www.fringer.org, a writer's blog. There was one item that she talked about Justice Online at Harvard.

Some of the stories were laughing matter now, but surely were not laughing materials when they happened.

Koson managed to get an iPhone for himself, though he was suspicious about it five months ago when we recorded a podcast on the topic. You could say that he was drawn into the dark side. So we discussed about what he felt about this gadget, or should we say toy? The downside for Thai would be the facts that Safari on iPhone did not support Thai fonts yet, but the upside was the internet connection was faster than expected. Hear it for yourself about the experience.
