    All up in the air

    Database, Published on 03/03/2010

    » The most efficient and honoured minister of Information and Communications Technology in more than a year asked Chinese companies if they could design a satellite to replace the original Thaicom One; the request, signed by the Defence Ministry as well as by Ranongruk Suwanchwee herself, would call a Chinese-designed bird a Thai name, and use it to replace the satellite that Shin Corp, now of Shingapore, refuses to replace; assuming the Chinese are willing (haha) to design a satellite and deal with the canny minister, it remains to be seen whether they also would like to build, fit, launch and perhaps maintain the bird, and how that would fit in with the Defence Ministry's contention since September, 2006, that foreigners should not be involved in Thai telecoms.

    » This just in: Thailand will have 3G phone service in 2010; we know this is true because Prasit Prapinmongkolkarn of the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC) said so, as he marked the induction of four new commissioners into the membership of the Magnificent Seven; Mr Prasit said that the NTC's only reason for existence is serving the public by allocating radio frequencies, because an unused frequency is a wasted frequency; pressed by the always doubting media as to whether the NTC will really make 3G available everywhere by New Year's Eve, Mr Prasit declared forthrightly that he will "make an effort". His Majesty the King officially approved the appointment of four new members of the Magnificent Seven - Suranand Wongwittyakamjorn, Banthoon Suphakvanich, Phana Thongmeearchom and Col Natee Sukolrat, who has recently survived a graft investigation by the National Anti-Corruption Commission.

    A warrior’s mentality to maintenance

    Database, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 28/04/2010

    » On several occasions while writing about OS X here, I have mentioned the idea of preventative maintenance _ fixing things before they go wrong. There is a school of thought that tells us “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’’, but a modern operating system has so many things going on that we cannot see (so cannot know about). Only specialist software will help.
