If your OS is Linux, especially Ubuntu, and your favorite browser is Firefox, you might notice some annoying bug that Firefox often crashes when opening pages with some kind of Flash. In case you have never seen this situation, you may try to open any Hi5 profile pages. I have just found a trick that helps me stay away from that problem. Not so sure but it seems to work better than before.

The source of this trick is for Edgy but it works great in Hardy!

is such a good service for personal microblog. The best of its feature is to let us use custom domain. For example, by default my Tumblr url is which is good enough. But now, I changed my url to better custom domain http://sugree.in.th/. And it looks mine! Anyway, it is not so easy to setup on DTC. If you are providing hosting services using DTC, you might need to follow my workaround to let your customers set custom domain successfully.

Two weeks ago I published (1, 2) the patched version of OpenOffice.org to fix freezing problem on Ubuntu Gutsy. Anyway, it is only just for i386 architecture since I have only i386 and someone said no problem on amd64. I have just received 2 confirmations about this problem on amd64 so I tried to recompile it again on amd64 architecture.

อัพเกรดจาก Ubuntu Feisty ขึ้นมาเป็น Ubuntu Gutsy ได้ซักพัก แต่พึ่งสังเกตว่า Firefox เปลี่ยนไปนิดหน่อย ผมยังคงมีปัญหาเรื่อง PANGO ใน Firefox อยู่เสมอ เมื่อก่อนก็จะสร้างไฟล์ $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/rc แล้วใส่แบบนี้

export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=0

ซึ่งทำให้ Firefox กลับมาแสดงผลสวยเกือบเหมือนเดิม แต่บน Gutsy ทุกอย่างมันเปลี่ยนไป /usr/bin/firefox ถูกปรับปรุงให้ดีขึ้น เป็นระบบมากขึ้น หลังจากนั่งดู /usr/bin/firefox พักนึงก็พบวิธีตั้งค่าแบบใหม่

After long waiting, fglrx 8.42.3 with AIGLX is here (Phoronix, Blognone). And now my laptop is Ubuntu Gutsy so my old instruction is obsoleted already. I note what I have done here in this post for further references.

If you noticed, I seems to disappear for 2 weeks because of freezing bug in OpenOffice.org. I spent 2 weeks for only one task; compiling OpenOffice.org on Ubuntu Gutsy. I'm not familiar with development environment used at Sun and in OpenOffice project. There are so many technical terms to learn. By the way, I finally add a patch from #81519 to OpenOffice.org 1ubuntu5 which my request #140878 is not responded yet. So it's time to share what I have done in this 2 weeks.
