My old (1 year and 3 weeks old) Compaq laptop died last week, leaving me without effective internet access. Sure enough my Nokia N95 has the ability but the keyboard and screen size makes it tiresome, not to mention having to manually go through all the incoming spam rather than letting Thunderbird handle it all for me.
I have purchased a new Toshiba laptop with a 3 year warranty so hopefully this one will be designed to last a bit longer.

I had a damaged MySQL table that failed to load the full sized photo when a photo thumbnail links was clicked.
With the simple and handy tool 'phpMyAdmin' I just went in to the database, cheked all the tables found the index for the galleries damaged and then ran the repair option on it, then for good measure I ran optimise table on all the tables.
So now the site should be working fine again.

Alright Saturday night - night when people with real jobs go out and get drunk!
What is Conan doing? What is there to do in Bangkok on a Saturday night - actually that has to be one of the dumbest questions of all time - you can do ANYTHING....

Chickenpox, or Chicken F'ing Pox to use some handy Australian punctuation slang, or "The illness of the infants?" as my good Parisian friend Anthony said...

It is now 2 years since I started this website, time flys fast. It only seems months ago that I was partying my butt of with Enzo at Q Bar Bangkok most nights with Stars in my eyes and vodka in my belly.
This time last year I was happy with the progress of my site, it was bringing in enough to survive upon and I was getting contacted for acting work.
So how has it all turned out in the last year....

Today I recieve an email from a fellow who must have been dropped on his head at birth, here it is:
i am writing you that im interesting in porn movie. i am 24 years-old, 183cm tall, 75kg weight. I am from xxxxxx but living in Bangkok, Thailand i can send you some photos if you are interesting to discuss more.
This is my contact
This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it
and cell +66xxxxxxxxx
Seeing as I currently have a policy of answering every email sent to me, I thought I should be polite enough to answer this guy, since he is not being abusive just inquisitive (I do answer the abusive ones too).
What could I possibly write back to this guy?

Yes it's that time of year - Thai New Year - and what a good / bad time it is depending upon your mood.
This year it has been officially sanction as a 3 day holiday by the Government, great if you are a Thai or into reliving that lost childhood bad news if you have a business to run and want to get down to work.
You see all of Thailand (except Pattaya that is a special circumstance) goes into a 3 day water fight frenzy...

Had a few emails recently as my last post was about me being sick - just a quick update for now:
- I got better then promptly drank too much and got sick again :)
- Auditioned for and passed for a Warner Brothers movie
- Shot 1 week already on same Warner Bros movie
- Auditioned for and got A Thai TVC
- Shot the same TVC and got my first partial body burn
- Went to Phuket/Krabi to work on a stun show with Dan O'Neil
- Mangaged to party again, without getting sick this time.
I think that is about it for the last 3 weeks, though I am sure i have done more it eludes e at present.
More in depth articles and video takes coming in the next couple of days.

Flicking though TV stations while waiting bored in a hotel room I recently saw an episode of the Biggest Loser - it's the TV show where 'teams' of obese people compete against other teams to lose the most fat each week. I good loss in a week is about 6lbs, which is 3kg.
Well in the last 6 days I lost 13kg which is 28.6lbs!!!
Want to know the 'magic' supplement that caused this massive weight loss?

Got a stomach bug in Cambodia, been vomiting with bad diahoreea for days, the vomiting has now stopped but I feel light headed, somewhat dizzy and my guts hurt - not to mention I am off to the toilet every 1/2 hour at best.
I'll write more about the trip in a few days.

Following on the success of Air Asia's cheap 99 Baht ($3) Airfare deals - I am flying to Phnom Penh tomorrow for 4 days.
I plan oh heading down to the coastal town of Sihanoukville and seeing the place before all the International resorts and hotel chains build there (many have already bought land).
Also I will be meeting with representatives of Film Cambodia to check out hte current capabilities of the incountry crews and equipment availability and to form friendships for future working relationships.
Plus I will be taking time to examine the city in more detail as an ex-pat, accomodation, gym, supermarkets, food availability, etc.
And I will be catching up with a few friends I have made over my last few visits.

"Happy Be Mi"
Happy New Year, I don't know why the Thais use the English word happy but that is generally what we foreigners hear.
Either that or the string of 500 exploding firecrackers let off in the car park of our apartment complex at 7am followed by yokels laughing and children screaming....

The Nokia N95 "It's what computers have become"
Last week before my trip to Myanmar I upgraded from my Nokia N70 (it was starting to have a few problems) to a new Nokia N95 8GB. I spent 9 hours online reading the manuals, and technology forums, transferring all my old files and setting the Nokia N95 8GB up to exactly how I wanted it.
To give a brief review would be to say that the Nokia N95 advertising slogan is 100% correct, this item is not a phone, though it does that too, it is better than a complete Pentium 2 PC in your pocket....

Travel exands your mind, your outlook and your opportunities, it can also cause a paradigm shift which can cause you to view life in a completely different way.
It builds tolerance and understanding between cultures and benefits those who come into contact with the other culture in many other personal ways, new friends, new recipres, interesting experiences, the list goes on.
Here are a few more of my thoughts and a list of countries that I have visited and still want to visit plus my top 3 International holiday destinations...

At 5am tomorrow morning I get up to go to Yangon in Myanmar (used to be called Rangoon, Burma) for a 3 day 'holiday' trip to visit a very good friend and to partake in the Australia Day celebrations held by the Australian Embassy to which I have scored an invite.
Seeing how there is very limited mobile phone coverage, patchy internet coverage and NO ATM machines in Myanmar I probably won't be posting any articles while I am away, but I am back on Sunday so I'll have a travel video shortly thereafter and a travel article with many photos.

For the last 4 hours or so my website has been unreachable. The server that I lease is hosted in Atlanta and there were some problems there:
The word we're getting from Atlanta is that a
major carrier is working on a bad fiber connection. This is not the
data center's fault and is totally unrelated to the emergency router
maintenance from a month ago. I'm seeing 1%-3% packet loss from NJ.
We'll continue to monitor and provide updates as we receive them.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
This means that 1 to 3% of information was not making the trip, in fact it was much worse than that with major sections of the Internet completely unreachable....
