  1. Same pizza...same staff... new spot. They have moved from the windmill plaza in naklua where they had been for years to 3rd road opposite soi lengkee, right next door to the boxing roo bar.
  2. Fair enough. Actually its been a while since my last full checkup... last one was just after my emergency appendectomy in Nov of 2009. Maybe its time to do that again too.
  3. Sorry Villa, not sure why I missed this... the new forum pointed it out to me lol. (nice!) Iphone does not and has no plans to support Flash, so no.. you will never be able to see that (or any other Flash content) on Iphone. One of my biggest complaints about Iphone. Its Apples opinion that Flash should not be used on websites because its too heavy. I happen to agree with that idea - I have always hated developing or hosting Flash applications, but its not really up to Apple - Flash is very prominent on thousands of websites... all of which will not work on Iphone. Silverlight has the potential to replace most Flash content, but I dont think Iphone supports that either. Not sure about HTML5 either, tho I am sure Apple will eventually support that at least. Love my Ipod... hate the Iphone.
  4. Any particular reason why? I mean... I am sure they have good doctors at the hospital, but they are likely not as good as the ones that do it all day every day... and checking a prescription for glasses is one of the easiest things to do... its not rocket science by any stretch... Not arguing with ya, just curious about the reason... it would seem to me that the guys that do it at the place(s) you purchase the glasses are likely just as good if not better then the ones you will find at the hospital, and in many cases likely the SAME doctor does both (I know several clinics open after 5pm that have docs working there after they finish their shift at the hospital)...

  5. Well... its that time of the decade again. Time to go see if my poor(ish) eyesight has gotten any worse since I last purchased glasses (2.5 years ago, give or take)... Last time I was happy with the service I got at the optometrist in Mike Shopping Mall lower level on the beach road end (Cannot remember their name), but figured since a quick search of this section had no returns, I would ask here. Where do you all go and why? If I recall last time I paid about 7k baht for 2 pair of very good glasses... Lacoste (not knock offs), and they have done me well over the last 2+ years... Truth be told they are still in good condition and could likely go another year or 2 if my prescription hasnt changed, but I think I am ready for a change lol. So... Where to go? I dont want any place that pushes copies... one thing I don't (and never will) skimp on is my glasses... since I wear them 16+ hours a day and work 12 of those behind a computer... Would prefer Digital Performance eyewear if they can be found in Thailand (Glasses made for computer users - expensive, but reduces headaches after looking at computers for 12 hours lol). I used to pay $500+ back in the states... and would pay the same here if needed. TIA Frosty
  6. That should do you. I can get it on my little android, tho the screen is really too small so I dont bother most of the time.
  7. Download flash 10.2 from the app store :)
  8. Wasn't even buzzed that night. Had maybe 3 in 2 hours. Went for the company, not the booze :) May do the same tonight... :)
  9. Ahh, also will add I was in Mistys after that... got there about 3:10... they were open, but the lights popped on after about 10 minutes.. girls fled upstairs. Music was stopped, but came back on quieter and the girls danced another 5 minutes or so until another cop came by... place closed at that point... tho a few of us (including Paul) ended up staying until a little after 4 (pissing the Thai manager off in the process lol)
  10. All the bars are closing I think. Was in Papagayo last night and they got closed at 3... and drove down 2nd road and looked like everything was closed... or at least dark and quiet.
  11. She left and came back again? I need to get out there more lol. Never knew she was gone :/
  12. Glad to see I'm not the only one that still calls her Beer when drunk lol.
  13. Just my opinion, but for 6000 baht more I think I would rather buy direct from the dealer with 0km.... If you want to sell, might have to drop it down a bit more, methinks.
  14. Um... little bit mow tonight Tony? Your a bit less understandable than usual... Iceland? And ya... I don't think I have anything to worry about
  15. Ahh well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad lol. The flags are mighty similar tho lol. Still... first post? Like I said... tis ok to advertise.
  16. New member, 3 posts... and "advertising" a website that was registered less than a month ago and has such a low keyword ranking right now that you would have to key in the exact website name to google to find it... (meaning, you didnt just stumble on it). Oh, and registered to someone from your country as well.. NZ :) Its ok to advertise your website... but don't lie about it.
  17. Pool just isnt the same as the ocean lol. Good point tho... Maybe ill rent the Secrets villa for a few days. Very good idea actually. Reason for edit: Removed a tag line I type when answering tech support tickets lol. Doing that in another window and just hit it by habit =P
  18. Hmm.. Guess I could have been more specific. Got a lady that likes skinny dipping in the ocean after hours... Dont want to be interrupted lol. Thats what I mean by Private :)
  19. Ya, google is great. I know it well. I also know that most Thailand related websites have about 5% true information and 95% bullshit lol. Thats what these forums are for... people to share their knowledge of things like this. I don't want an advertisement from someone trying to sell me something - I want a review by someone thats been there.
  20. Every island has them I think... I need details :) Preferably a website... or at least a phone number.
  21. I know I saw a post about these before, but cant seem to find it. Need to find a private bungalow on one of the local beaches or islands - one that has private or semi-private beach access, and no restrictions on when it (the beach) can be used (e.g. night time =P) Price no object... Anyone have any ideas? Frosty
  22. Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> System Restore
  23. Not as long as you think... I type pretty fast :)
  24. Google Analytics is not something you need to worry about... it is a google service that monitors website traffic and provides statistics that help webmasters find trouble spots on websites - such as pages that get too many hits, files that take too long to download, etc. Its not used for anything "weird", and generally speaking it usually does not slow down website loading... That said, there may be some sort of slow-down between your ISP and googles servers that are causing the slow down... but aside from making some pretty wild changes to your operating systems files there is nothing you can do to speed it up. Looks like Ptalk is running pretty good to me... things load up as fast as any other site does from Thailand.... The one thing I miss from the USA is the internet speed :)
