Tomorrow marks the two year point since I left Songkha for the UK.  GoDaddy has been bugging me for the last month to renew the domain and I’ve really not been inclined to….after all what relavence is a blog called Songkhla South to me now in the UK, aside from memories which probably spurred me to re-new….anyway it came down to the wire yesterday and I figured what the hell, but since I’ve just shelled out for the renewal, thought I’d better update the blog for old time’s sake.  So Hi!  Bye!

Boring Boring: A Directory of Dull Things

Kicking off today’s April Fools Special is a superb parody of mega-famous blog Boing Boing

Lots of hillarious working links and close attention to detail…not a classic April Fool by any means but clever nonetheless.

Well, there’s two celebrations this month.and I may as well mention them both now even though the second is tomorrow at 3:30 pm.

Firstly, today is my 29th birthday and Thailand was kind enough to make it a public holiday (actually it’s a celebration of some gathering of buddhists dating back to the time of the buddha’s life.)

The other birthday is Life in the Wor Zone’s 1st birthday which started on the 24th Feb 2004 in exam week. Looking back on that first entry it seems a little confusing, though it seemed I was just looking for something to write and an excuse to juxtapose it with some random image I found.

I should have blogged this next announcement yesterday but was getting far too drunk and posting nonsense on Ajarn Forum, but anyway Ajarn.com got a full page front page feature in the Bangkok Post’s Educational Supplement, The Learning Post. I also featured in a separate section on page four about Ajarn Forum

Who says you can’t get fame by sitting on your fat arse in front of a computer…er..I guess in this day and age thats not uncommon after all.

Interview with a link spammer

The Register interviews an individual responsible no doubt for making my e-mailing irritating as fuck everyday…a genuine comment spammer.

I hate these bastards, they fill up my inbox with their fake comments and I have to religiously delte them day after day…it’s not so bad here at the Wor Zone anymore as MT is pretty good at fighting it, but Wordpress I can’t quite bust it yet.

Ajarn Community Blog

One other reason why you might not have seen me pouring my heart out over here of late is because I have been doing that on a new group blog that I founded over on Ajarnforum’s hosting.

Myself and about 10 other intrepid souls are telling things how they are about living and teaching in Thailand. Check it out blog it and pass it on….it definately has it’s moments.

The Morning News - MetaFilter in the Ruins

An entertaining read speculating on the banal conversations that will take place on closed membership, uber-bloggers blog Metafilter the morning of the apocalypse.

Look, if you can’t take two seconds on preview to see if someone else has posted the same story… For Chrissakes, how long have we been doing this? And CoolDev, don’t just front page some article from Drudge about the end of the world when you don’t have anything provocative to add. Quoting Elmer Fudd doesn’t count. We all have windows. We know it’s the apocalypse.

An inspiring concept in home pages though the excitment level drifts of rapidly once you’ve got over the oo thats a cool idea bit.

A t-shirt from some geekware store. I actually found myself laughing at this…what am I becoming?

What’s with me this week, I just cannot muster the energy to even blog something from B3ta this week. To add to my woes Firefox has just vanished all of my Bookmarks including my lovely RSS feed list. Ajarnforum is going well, though it’s taking up way to much of my spare time so my pet project slike this are not really happening. Well, lets get some stuff blogged.

The Rogue Traveller

Just a quick mention for our new friend at Ajarnforum GrahamB’s new travelblog. He’s not actually left yet, but for now he’s practising with some pics and commentary of Scouseland.

For someone who’s been in Thailand coming upto 3 years, this almost seems exotic.

I’ve been itching to play around with the new look Blogger, which updated very soon after I defected my blog to Movable Type, so I made one for my students and one for wifey. They look very similar at present as I used the same minima template. The really clever bit is that I’m using the best bit of Photoblogging software ever, which is Picassa the lovely image browsing software in conjunction with a little IM widget called Hello! Using the two together with Blogger makes blogging pictures with free hosting at blogspot a very liberating feeling. From desktop to blog in seconds. Thoroughly recommended.

The two Photoblogs I started are
