Flash Video on Firefox
I’m a big fan of Firefox and try to use Firefox as much as I can. However, I found that some Internet banking in Thailand support only IE. Can’t blame them since almost 85% of Thais Internet user use what ever browser Windows provides.
Until recently I found another problem keeping me back to IE. Youtube! Youtube use Adobe Flash to play its video online. Looks like there is some problem with recent Flash player when installing to Firefox. The video will stop exactly 2 second while the video still load.
I do some research on Internet and found the fix from HERE. Seems like the installation of Flash has failed to put the file to Firefox directory. Now Youtube back to work.
Firefox 3
Does anyone know Firefox? It is a rival Internet browser to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. The developer claims that it is faster and more secure than IE. It gain more and more popularity as the market share grows. The Mozilla foundation is continually develop and add more functionality to this program. And now it come to the third generation.
For over 34 months that Mozilla foundation and developer around the world develop Firefox 3. They had announced that the will release long await Firefox 3 on June 17… (see the announcement HERE) They even have a campaign to set a download World Record.
But wait June 17 on whose time? Is it GMT, PDT, ICT or what? It is clearly that they are over joy on their new product and forget that there is time zone in use on this planet. People on one side that get to June 17 than others wait the whole day wait for Firefox to appears and they announce. Until later on June 17 they must have tones of e-mail from east side of the world that “where is Firefox on June 17? I’m about to go to bed already” that they announce that it will be June 17 at 1700 UTC (see the announcement HERE)
By the time they release their product, it is already June 18 here already.

The Internet Archive
ไปเจอเวปหนึ่งที่น่าสนใจไม่น้อย เวปนี้ชื่อว่า Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org) หน้าที่หลักที่เขาทำจากในเวปคือ
The Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public.
จนทุกวันนี้ทาง Internet Archive ได้สแกนหน้งสือไปแล้วกว่า 400,000 เล่ม เพลง รูปภาพ เสียงต่างๆ อีกนับไม่ถ้วน แต่สิ่งหนึ่งที่น่าสนใจก็คือ WayBack Machine
เจ้า WayBack Machine นี้ได้เก็บหน้าเวปต่างๆ ใน Internet ไว้ตั้งแต่ปี 1996 เพียงแค่ใส่ url ของเวปที่เราอยากจะดู ก็สามารถย้อนไปดูได้ตั้งแต่ปี 1996 เลยรู้ว่าก่อนที่ kanok.net จะเป็นของผมนั้น เคยเป็นบริษัท web design ของจอร์แดน มาก่อน

WinXP SP3… Finally
Microsoft has released the latest and final service pack for the old and faithful Windows XP. The Service Pack 3 or SP3 is intended to be a collection of previously-released fixes and product enhancements, as well as a few new features that are unique to this release.
When talking about “new” feature for SP3, do not expect a dramatic feature. That what Vista is here for. See the list and you will know.
Network Access Protection compatibility. Announced years ago, this feature allows Windows XP machines to interact with the NAP feature in Windows Server 2008. This functionality is built into the RTM version of Windows Vista as well.
Product Key-less install option. As with Windows Vista, new XP with SP3 installs can proceed without entering a product key during Setup.
Kernel Mode Cryptographics Module. A new kernel module that “encapsulates several different cryptographic algorithms,” according to Microsoft.
“Black hole” router detection algorithm. XP gains the ability to ignore network routers that incorrectly drop certain kinds of network packets. This, too, is a feature of Windows Vista.
You can download the full SP3 from Microsoft from this link directly. The whole thing is 316 MB, so a high speed Internet is needed.
