My favorite feed reader is because I can read all entries without moving mouse pointer. The former one is Sage which is a Firefox extension. Sage is good but big at the same time. One good thing of Sage is cookie. Since Sage is integrated to Firefox, it read feeds with cookie authentication perfectly. Anyway, Sage is not the right one for me so I switched to Google Reader which is much more simpler. I had lived with Google Reader for a few months without problem until last week. I went to seminar in a hotel without network. That was a sad story. I was unable to read any feeds at all. So after I came back, I looked for an offline feed reader for the next chance. Eventually, I found Liferea, standed for Linux Feed Reader. What's a good name?

Skype seems to be the best VoIP right now in terms of capability and scalability. In addtion, it officially supports many Linux distros like SuSE, Fedora Core, Mandriva, Debian and its families, and other Linux-based system by static binary format. For debian package, especially Ubuntu, it works nicely. I got menu immediately the installation finished. In this latest beta version Skype for Linux 1.3 BETA, it supports both OSS and ALSA. Luckily, it also lets me choose ALSA device by myself so I can use my USB sound card easily.

Since I am a menter in , I would like to update what I and my student was done last month. My student is working hard on developing XUL-based Drupal Manager project. That's a short description. For a long one, he is developing a next generation of graphics user interface based on XML technology, aka XUL, proposed by Mozilla. XUL is a candidate for Web 2.0, another one is AJAX. AJAX seems to be better because it runs on most browsers while XUL can only run on Mozilla-based browsers. However, in other point of view, there is a possibility to run XUL on any XUL engine. Some day, XUL engine might be integrated into OS like Java or .Net.

Actually, I don't have my own video except only the screencast captured by ffmpeg on my laptop. That's only one I have by now. So I would like to see how Google Video works and how well it is. As a result, is uploaded successfully. And I also would like to see how to embed into my blog.

My former laptop, Laser Ovill 1500, is not a famous one since Laser is a local brand in Thailand. I don't know much about hardware specification so finding drivers is a painful process. I can't remember its website. So I searched for in Google. As I expected laser is too common. So I added more keywords. As far as I know, the company is something like or cpt. I also tried as Google suggested and found www.laser-computer.com by keyword ovill 1500. Eventually, I added the part no., jw2, to the keywords. In particular, the keyword is . Bingo! I found www.laser.co.th. My drivers are in the download page.

Most of my works relate to grid technology and AccessGrid is one of them. I would like to install AccessGrid on my Ubuntu laptop in proper way. I mean to install AccessGrid via standard deb package plus a repository for next installation. Unfortunately, I have not found any sources for rebuilding on Dapper.
