    How to root and upgrade an HTC Desire HD running Gingerbread to a custom Android ROM

    November 29, 2012 /

    There are basically two methods and I tried both: You can create a “gold card” and turn S-OFF, then root manually, which will entail a lot of futzing around with your phone and an extra mini SD card, or you can do the heavy lifting by booting into a Linux Live CD (choose the latest 32-bit LTS version) and automating most of the process with a slick software package called Advanced Ace Hack Kit. I recommend using the latter technique, even if you’ve never used Linux before. It’s not easy if you’re totally new to it, but if you’ve enough confidence to try installing a custom ROM on your phone, you…

    A Visit to Wat Nongwang

    November 26, 2012 /

    For the past year, we’ve been relying on a Cefiro specialist in Khon Kaen for repair of our Cefiro A33 (Infiniti I30), and we had noticed a huge pagoda just down the street several times. A few weeks ago, we took the kids along with us and decided to visit the pagoda after dropping off our car to fix leaky power steering hoses. It was a great trip to a temple truly rich in history, Wat Nongwang (aka Wat Kaen Nakorn)

    I was greeted with the following exchange upon returning home to bring my sick kids (who choose to play hooky in unison) lunch: MAX: Daddy, are you going to work again? DADDY: Hello, Max. I brought you some noodles. MAX: DADDY, ARE YOU GOING TO WORK AGAIN, DADDY? DADDY: Why? MAX: I want you to go make a lot of money! GO TO WORK AGAIN, PLEASE, DADDY! MINA: YEAH DADDY, GO TO WORK! The monsters have grown too powerful to control.

    Khon Kaen to Sarakham

    November 12, 2012 /

    We came back from KK yesterday after staying at the Rachawadee Resort near the airport for one night. We had stuff to do on Saturday (power steering line replacement) and early Sunday morning (dentist for mommy/Mina) as well, so it made sense to stay in Khon Kaen instead of coming back since the price for accommodations is cheaper than gasoline (the non-ethanol-adulterated version of which is known in Thailand as “benzine” from the German “Benzin”, not to be confused with “benzene“). Besides, we had always wanted to see the resort — it was nice with a good pool, and photos will be forthcoming pending discovery of our digicam’s charger. Anyway,…

    Sorry, these are big files and take a while to load. Also, the One Inch Punch seems more impressive than the Six Inch, but in the spirit of proper animated GIF documentation, I’m including both. One Inch Punch: Six Inch Punch: Note: I have no idea who made these, but they are too cool.
