Changkhui: Changkhui

Due to a few comments over episode 176, we decided to try to do it again, with the same set of guests and co-host. Jor and Nim came back to discuss what 3G could do and what happened in other countries. And towards the end, we talked about Femtocell.

Another episode suggested by @FordAntitrust. After discussing about photos in episode 175, there were some discussions about the color profile of cameras, so we invited our guru, khun Kajorn, to share his knowledge on the subject and he did not fail us. Also, we had @RabbitMoon, who was a post-graduate student on this very subject at the faculty of science at Chulalongkorn University, and @PocketHifi, who was a professional photographer, to share their experiences on the episode. The entire recording was almost two hours so we decided break this into two episodes. This was the second one.

It's been on and off for the last few years, the arrival of 3G network in Thailand, that is. Due to recent development and strong movement from the NTC, we ask some friends to share their points of views about the matter, what have been discussed about how the NTC would go about implementing it, they also shared some lessons learnt from other countries. Our guests on this episode are Nuttaphol (http://jows.blogspot.com) and Kanokporn (http://www.oknation.net/blog/nimkanokporn) from a telecom company with Worawat as a co-host.

July is the starting point of graudation ceremony in Thailand. Since we have quite a few listeners who are quite active photographers, we may as well try to make an episode out of it. This time we have a newly-arrived-from-USA listener, Jane or Twitter.com/JaneMontr, Guy or (Twitter.com/KraiWa), Ford (Twitter.com/FordAntitrust), Bay (Thanaraj) and me. All shared their experiences in taking photos in various graduation days with some funny stories.

From listeners to a team, this is an episode that gather a group of friends who have been working together for some time. @FordAntitrust requested that we should have an episode about this. It started from producing an episode at Wawee in October 2009, then there were events after events and, finally, we had a team. @Simplywit was in charge of all audio-related setting and recording, @FordAntitrust was in charge of network and IT setting, @MueNue was in charge of video, @Mr_Aum was in charge of overall setting and I was the producer. Too bad that @Mr_Aum was missing, so we all ended up toasting for him.

@meneeeee attended the Apple annual conference on her own so we asked her to share the experience when she came back. It was very obvious that she had a very good time there, enjoying every minute of it, although, it's a very tech-oriented conference. Due to the NDA required for attending the event, she could not reveal much about what the actual conference, but this should provide an idea of what to look and expect, should someone want to attend in the future.

Having listened to their presentation on open source development at the first WordCamp in Bangkok 2008, I could recall my impression, it was fun and very informative. Later on, I got to know more about k.Akarawuth via Twitter and friends. Eventually, it's time to talk and invited him over for an episode in Changkhui. He also pulled along his friend, k.Pisal, to join the conversation. We talked about how he got started in the IT world and, later on, open source community. It was a very impressive story for me, personally, but, at the same time, sad that these great people did not quite get the recognition that they deserved in Thailand. You could follow k.Akarawuth at twitter.com/joomlacorner and at his blog (Akarawuth.com) and k.Pisal at Twitter/lungkao and Lungkao.com.

Having been using our own iPads for a while, it's time to share our experience. Kangg (Siampod.com) and Menn (mene078.wordpress.com) both use their iPad on daily basis. I also have one, so it's time to share what each thinks of its practical use and favourite apps.

It's been more than 2 years since I listened to him talked about Wordpress at the first WordCamp event in Bangkok. Eventually, I met him at a Twitter meeting and managed to know him. His name was Jakrit Talawat, AKA Menn or @iMenn on Twitter. He was one of the most well-known web designers among Thai Open Source community. We talked about making an episode, it was a little awkward since he lived in Pai, yes, that's Pai up north of Thailand. Finally, while he was in Bangkok, I managed to get him to record this. We talked on various issues, especially since I had my own difficulty in designing and coding for Changkhui site myself. He was a great representative of the up-and-coming generation of Thailand.
