 As part of the various and numerous initiatives taking place in Thailand this year, a multimedia event names "Thailand: 9 Days in the Kingdom" marking the 80th birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej on 5 December has now been revealed to public.
‘Thailand: 9 Days in the Kingdom’ project invited in January 2007, 55 of the world’s leading photographers for a photo shoot throughout Thailand over a nine-day period. Result of captured images shows different facets of Thailand: its peoples, traditions, landscapes and cityscapes, commerce and industry.
‘Thailand: 9 Days in the Kingdom’ is now completed and released to public in three parts:
- A wonderful 304 pages large-format pictorial book which portrays Thailand today (50 USD).
- A multimedia exhibition of photographs taken during the shoot held at CentralWorld Event Gallery.
- Two documentary films on the project.
‘Thailand: 9 Days in the Kingdom’ includes seven photos-essays made by some of world famous photographers on various themes:
- reverence for the King (Anuchai Secharunputong, Thailand)
- the ongoing events in the south (Abbas, France; Charoon Thongnual, Thailand)
- Thai boxing (Greg Gorman, USA)
- the harvesting of birds’ nests (Éric Valli, France)
- the care and treatment of AIDS patients by a Catholic priest (James Nachtwey, USA)
- and the country’s colourful cabaret scene (Greg Gorman, USA)
- aerial views of Thailand (Yann Arthus-Bertrand).
In short, if pass by Bangkok before the 5th of December, don't miss the exhibition. For the others, if you like Thailand, the book and its DVD is a must have (available in English and French).

 8th of November: World Usability Day "Make life easy"
Swiss UPA, the Swiss chapter of the Usability Professional Association proposes to ease access to free public wireless networks using a specific sign ((o)) that would help users to detect easy to use wireless networks.
Today, before getting online using a wireless device, users have first to find an user-friendly wireless access point and then try to connect to it.
The user has to detect which wireless networks are available from his location and check if they are public and free of charge. Often wireless network names do not inform the visitor if the access to the network is free or not. The wireless access point might not be protected but once connected users are redirected to a page where they will be invited to purchase access rights.
Swiss UPS also highlight the fact that once connected to a free and public wireless network, it is not uncommon to reach an authentication page before getting access to the Internet. This procedure has 2 main disadvantage:
- Some authentication pages cannot be completed when using a Smartphone or a PDA.
- Some services such email, Instant Messaging, VoIP, etc… do not require the use of a browser and users cannot pass easily through this authentication method.
To make users' life easier, Swiss UPS proposes to include at the beginning of the SSID (Service Set Identifier which broadcasts the name of the wireless network) of public and free wireless networks the following distinctive sign: ((0))
Usage of the sign ((o)) is free and open to all individuals, collectivities and organizations which operate a WiFi network respecting Swiss UPA usability charter.
