Changkhui: Changkhui in VDO

Yuthana, @YuthanaJ, a listener of ours suggested the subject and topic of this episode. Due to recent flood crisis, a lot of people and enterprises might have lost their data, so we managed to get khun Pairoj Tea-Mangkornpan to share his data recovery experience. He was the owner of IDRlab.com, a Thai data recovery, specializing in data recovery of all kinds; shock, drops, fire and water, etc. Some of the stories should be very applicable to all everyone using hard drives, which was, really, almost all of us.

On the occasion, we invited @ComicStudies and @Kangg to share their thoughts and personal feeling about his departure. This was not a story on Steve Jobs, but, rather, what the impression ones had over the man.

Smuth is a old friend since secondary-school day. We crossed path again almost a decade ago at a company where we worked at at the time. He went on to be a great sales and became a professional, becoming a corporate representative for an American company. We asked him to share his experience on being a professional and his view in working in an international firm, comparing to working in a Thai firm.

Out of fun, we invited three respected open-source content management system experts to share their views and experience. Akarawuth Tamrareang, @JoomlaCorner, represented Joomla, Sira Sujjinanont, @hunt, represented Drupal and Jakkrit Talawat, @iMenn, represented Wordpress. All three were famous among Thai open-source CMS communities with years of experience. The talk was more towards the practical and optimal use of each CMS from their points of view. It was a very fun and enjoyable talk. Hope we could produce more of these in the future.

The only Thai invited to participate in the Joomla Summit in the USA but no Thai media seemed to care. Akarawuth Tamrareang, AKA @JoomlaCorner in Twitter, was active and contributed in the Joomla global community that he was invited to join the event. He shared what were discussed and how the meeting was conducted. He also gave a glimpse of what to see in the Joomla Day in Thailand on Saturday October 29, 2012.

Most people in the IT news industry would know that Angkut Roongsaengjan was the PocketPCThai.com moderator and an influencer in among geeks. But most might not be aware of his daily life as a fire protection engineer. His line of duty involved designing and planning fire protection in industrial plants. We saw his twitter posts on the fire broke out at a condominium in Sukhumvit 24 road earlier this month, so we invited him over to share his experience in fire protection in practice.

The book "In the Plex" by Steven Levy came out in 2011 with lots of praise. Doctor Jirapong Supasaowapak, a long-time listener and guest to the show, came to give an overview of the book. Both him and Passakorn did enjoy the book so much so that they made an episode out of it. We hoped we gave our listeners a good impression of the book and we encouraged anyone interested in knowing Google in details to read the book as well.

Pook Varangkana was an old friend all the way back to kindergarten school. We would see each other occasionally throughout the years. And then in 2007, we heard the announcement of the ceasing of EMI Music (Thailand) operation by Pook herself, as the General Manager. It would take us this long, 4 years, to get her to talk about her experience during her time in EMI. She had been with EMI since 1992 as a secretary, eventually taken over the top job and ended up closing the operation. We asked Rud and Sutin to join to spice up the episode and Kanjana, as an old friend, to make a livelier recording.

We came across the term only in the past few weeks, eventhough, it's been in circulation since 2009. After reading a few stories on bit coin hacking incidents, we simply wanted to know more about it. We managed to have a guest, @narudom, to share the stories with us. Since none of us would qualify as bit coin expert, listeners please pardon our ignorance. We simply wanted to know more about it and share what other person knew about the story. This was one of the more intense episodes on technology, giving what Changkhui was like four years ago.

After several inquiry, Rud suggested us to produce this episode. A lot of people asked what exactly he did as a dentist. Ood, Sutin Tanrattanakorn, joined the conversation as to make it livelier. This was a very different Rud from any other episode that we had seen him. This was the other side of Rud, as a dentist.
