I am proud to announce my latest work called which is a python library for handling OASIS Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) Distribution Element. At this time, it partially supports most of specification version 1.0 published on March 14, 2006. The main purpose to develop this library is to learn how to use lxml effectively. For those who can't stand to read, you might directly go to the .

It has been a while since Gaim 2.0.0 beta 5 came out. It works so great! Only one thing I really hate is the blank filename on file transfer. It is very annoying me everytime I got files from my friends. Fortunately, it was closed last week. It's the good news. The bad one is that this patch seems to be appeared in beta 6 and there is no tentative timeframe yet. However, the power of opensource is I don't have to wait. Everything I want, I might do it myself. Anyway, I don't have enough time to figure out where the problem is so I have to wait for the patch. Now, the patch is available. I may wait for beta 6 or compile it myself to make it work early. I have enough time to compile for sure!

หลังจากที่ปรับแต่งไปเมื่อวันก่อน (อ่านย้อนหลัง) ก็มีคนใจดีช่วยแนะนำ วิธีแก้ปัญหาแบบอื่นๆ เนื่องจากผมก็ยังไม่ค่อยพอใจผลซักเท่าไหร่นัก เลยดีใจเป็นการใหญ่โต ทำให้ต้องเสียเวลามาปรับต่อรอบสอง

Someday, you might want to monitor popular internet services on several hosts. It should be quick and simple so you don't have to install so long software packets to meet the dependencies. I have ones for you. They are written in pure Perl to monitor HTTP service and MySQL service.

I have just compiled and installed Gaim 2.0.0 Beta 4 for a few days. However, I just have a chance to chat via IRC in local IRC server in Thailand. Surely, the encoding is not UTF-8. Exactly, it is TIS-620 for Thai characters. Gaim 2.0.0 Beta 4 suddenly crashed. It always crashs whenever I tried to join into any channel with Thai characters in them. So I consulted Gaim and found a bug report looking very similar to my case. It indicated that Beta 5 should fix this problem. Oops! Beta 5 has just released last night.

Apache HTTP Server comes with a handy mod_status for monitoring current status and performance of itself. However, mod_status doesn't show the performance in the past. I like the historical data because it would help me to find problem occured since last crash.
