Accessing Twitter.com/thaksinlive

Suhail — Wed, 19 May 2010 14:33:03 +0000

There has been some major problems in Thailand and the Government has blocked access to Mr. Thaksin’s twitter page http://www.twitter.com/thaksinlive . But they have not blocked http://mobile.twitter.com/thaksinlive . I would like the government to look into this loophole as well if you are trying to block access to these sites. And unfortunately this applies to all websites even accessing p**rnhub.com is also available through its mobile version of the site. Hope these all ends soon and may we rest in peace.

This is the same problem with Mr. Thaksin website aswell. There is a block to http://www.thaksinlive.com but you can still access it if you first enter and it will give you an error message from the government. Then re enter the URL and you can now visit the site.

This clearly shows that a government cannot block public from accessing information through the internet unless complete internet connection is cut. May internet prevail and online gaming.

Video of Seh Daeng getting shot (the fall)

The major fall for the UDD protestors was here. The red shirt general, a rough general named Seh Daeng. The government claiming that as the red shirts are not moving off, they will not go according to the RoadMap. The situation has turned to the worst. For best update on Thailand situation Twitter is your choice.

I thought it will be a real palace that is being used before I went on the university feild trip for my photography class, but it turned out to be something that was stil under renovation and had nothing. I was really upset. Because my teacher before the trip made it sound as if our trip was a privileged one. Unfortunately for us there were nothing so much interesting. I have added some pictures I took over there and I hope you like it.

Overall it was a nice trip but I accepted too much. For more information see at wikipedia.

Blogging from Asia is tough

Suhail — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 17:11:07 +0000

Im not sure about other bloggers but for me, staying in Thailand and blogging about programming and tech stuffs is tough due to one main reason Time-Difference. As you can see for my fellow US readers to see this post when they wake up I need to post it at midnight Thailand time. This makes life hard. I need to get everything prepared so that I can post at midnight and go to sleep and wake up to see that you have already slept. Isn’t that so bad.

Well we do have our own advantage which is we are 1 day ahead so if I promise to release themes every thursday which is actually due for me here on friday. Isn’t that good.

But this is just 1 good but so many bads. I need to be awake till midnight. Never get to tweet with you. Never get to know stuffs when hot news come out. Like when the iphone 4G rumour came out I knew it the first minute I woke up, but still I was late. And still nearly half of the iPhone users in Thailand may not know that iPhone 4G was revealed on the internet thanks to Gizmodo.com. Well like I said Goodnight people, see you when you sleep.

My everyday deadly trip

Suhail — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 10:02:15 +0000

I know this sounds scary but this is what I have been riding through this whole time. I go through the main red shirts strike spot with so much difficulty but manage to get through them always. Here are some of the shot on my way to university everyday. All images were taken from my excellent camera Canon 500D with the help of my bike. Yes I took these images on the move isn’t that amazing. These images of the red shirt protesters were taken on Silom road intersection Sala Daeng.

These images have not been retouched.

People are learning colours

Suhail — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 04:27:41 +0000

Well we have it again. There is another new colour in the land of smile. The new colour is pink. Pink shirts are the supporters who are opposing the red shirt movement. I think the pink shirts were the one responsible for this billboard. Well from what I can see is the pinks are well educated people from the city who are not strong, but I think its wrong to bully the stronger Reds. I guess they are going to get it real hard back on them. May the land of smile ramin smiling and not develop into a civil conflict. Please lord show mercy on us.

You can follow up with the Pink Movement here.

Red shirts sign boards for Thaksin

Suhail — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:10:44 +0000

I’m not sure if you are from Thailand, but if you are you would have seen some signboards with the same style put up by the UDD, “United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship” stating “Peace, Non-violence, parliament dissolution is the choice for Thailand”. Just riding down the street my friend found this board stating “Peace, Non-violence, Thaksin dead is the choice for Thailand”. I feel that this is really funny and also stupid. What do you think?
