A best method to check before using pirated software
Are you scared that you will be infected with some kind of virus or malware worms because of using torrents. I have a method that can help you. It is called Virtual Desktop. There are currently 2 softwares that can give you this. VMware Workstation which cost $189.00 and Virtualbox which is opensource. I have tried both the softwares and they work great. What it does is you will have Windows XP inside a Windows XP in simple words. Isn’t that cool?
They are easy to use and there are alot of tutorials on google already. So get one for yourself now and be sure you will not be caught by these nasty torrent viruses when you are downloading p**n.
When can you use this?
- If you are an online gamer and you need to access 2 game windows at the same time
- Test new freeware softwares
- Download pirated software from torrents and test them (which is illegal, please don’t do it)
- Multi tasking
- Running other OS like OSX, Linux, Redhat etc on any other OS at the same time
- Act cool in front of your friends
Have fun with it!

A skip in this week
Hello there guys, I know you have been waiting eagerly for the next theme, but unfortunately I am so tightly packed with my client work, my university final project and also my final exams. Isn’t that too much for 1 person to take. I have already done with the design and many other things with this theme and it is just awesome and worth the wait I bet you.
Wish me good luck for my exams.
Embossed DIV look using CSS border styles
We always seen this cool style on many websites. The nice embossing style of illusion created using just borders. Well this is really very simple also. The concept behind this is simple. To create an embossed out effect the borders need to be on top and left. For the embossed in the borders need to be on bottom and right.
The CSS
.embossin {
width: 500px;
background: #101010;
border-right: 1px solid #2b2b2b;
border-bottom: 1px solid #2b2b2b;
}
.embossout {
width: 500px;
background: #101010;
border-left: 1px solid #2b2b2b;
border-top: 1px solid #2b2b2b;
Yes this is the code, but to see this in effect you will have to have the body background in black so that you can see this box. You can see the sample below. This style can be used in form buttons and form styling as well like in my Galaxy theme’s comment form.

A study on wordpress theme style
After making a few wordpress themes that got lots of attention in the past month and most of the people who contacted me said that they want something with more colour and detail in them. As you can see most of my themes were of a minimal style which was something I was inspired by my friend David Corti who runs September Industry and now recently also owns UpstartBlogger. I was just so into the clean feeling and the luxury you feel from it.
But the emails made me feel that not all of them like this style. I did a poll on this at Digital Points where most “savvy” internet blogger and designers go for resource. And the result was stunning.
Out of 100% the number of people who voted for minimal design was 18% where as all the other was for colourful and web 2.0 based wordpress web design. This made me think and also made me feel that I should focus on the 82% of people who may use my theme rather than just 18% who like minimal themes. So from now on I have decided to release themes in shifts where 1 week it will be a minimal theme and the other week it will be a nice web 2.0 theme like the one available rite now is called Galaxy. I hope it is a good idea and is a better for both of us.
Gemstone polishing – Photo essay
For my digital photography class we were required to do a photo essay on any topic we desired. I really wanted to show Bangkok at its finest by taking some nice pictures of the red shirts, but it was the first DON’T in the requirements for the final project. The next thing that came in thoughts was to shoot a roadside food shop, but none of them agreed to take the picture of them. So as a last resort I went to my dad’s gemstone lapidary to get these pictures. I was not happy when I knew I need to take picture of something that I don’t like. But it turned out to be an awesome trip. I came to know why my dad loves this business so much.
There is so much detail to this craftsmanship and the photo’s also turned out to be great. I hope this will be a nice photo essay example for Bangkok gem industry.
