Introducing my new cooperative blog – #fakap community speaks

Introducing #fakap community blog, a blog that does not focus on a single topic but rather as a medium to voice out opinions and feelings of #fakap online community.

The blog also doubles as a news website that is frequently updated by a team of bloggers from #fakap community. #fakap community is mainly consist of frequent irc users in webchat.org and dal.net irc networks. Most of them are regular pc end-users , which makes the blog more interesting since we are reading what an average end-user would say about a particular product.

You may find that #fakap community speaks is a bit harsher than the usual blog that I maintain because it is designed to make people think of the harsher reality of lives. I wish to snap people out from their dream, out from wasting their valueable money to giant corporations, I’ll try to snap them out from it, *only* if they would help themselves.
So, hope that you enjoy reading #fakap community blog as I’m one of the bloggers there :p

Today is the day Thailand changed its name from Siam

Just to inform you that today is the day Thailand changed its name from Siam in May 11, 1949. “Thai” means “freedom” in the Thai language, so it’s a land of freedom. Though it the country name has been renamed more than 50 years ago, there are people who still prefer to call it as Siam, including me :p

Cheap Domain name @ 2.99 and hard disk failure

Some of my files on my other hosting company has suffered hardware failures and they lost my accounts, well a couple of my “one-off” website are totally gone, along with some of the files that i mirrored there. Luckily I’ve transfered most of my files/work and this blog to Interunix, back a couple of week a go.

It seems that I’m not the only one who has suffered from hard disk failure, hope that you will recover soon Liew.

By the way, you can get cheap domain name @ USD2.99 from unixdomains.com, grab it quick while stock last :p, I’ve bought a couple of domain names at that price too…

OpenDocument is now ISO approved!

This may be already a stale news, but I’ll post it anyway. OpenDocument recently was approved as international standard (ISO/IEC 26300), hooray. For you information, OpenDocument is an open document file format for saving and exchanging editable office documents such as text documents (including memos, reports, and books), spreadsheets, databases, charts, and presentations.

The OpenDocument format is intended to provide an open alternative to proprietary document formats including the popular but undocumented DOC, XLS, and PPT formats used by Microsoft Office, as well as Microsoft Office Open XML format.

In a nutshell, everybody is free to implement OpenDocument (ODF) support, and users will not be locked out by a single vendor as in case with proprietary office format like Microsoft Office and Lotus SmartSuite.

Currently the most popular applications that support OpenDocument is < a href="http://openoffice.org">OpenOffice (supported on a number of operating systems), Abiword and KOffice.

Get Malaysian TV Listing Guide in RSS

Hello there, I’m just testing my skills on php, and suddenly I came out with an idea to create a simple website that allows you to view Malaysian TV Programme Listing at http://tv.mypapit.net. It’s kinda a simple and stupid website actually, but it allows you to subscribe the tv listing using any generic RSS reader for your convenience.

So don’t forget about the URL, it’s http://tv.mypapit.net. lol, I know, it’s a shameless promotion.
