My 1st Live Snake and Fences

Today's song is: Roll Me up and Smoke Me When I die .. Willie


Thavorn spotted a snake in the tree out front. She went a fetched a 2 meter long stick and knocked it out of the tree and then deftly dealt it a couple of blows to the head, quickly dispatching it to snake heaven. It was about 2 meters long. What I found troubling is no one seems to know the venomous snakes from the non venomous snakes.


As you can see, it is a bright lime green color. Thavorn has now dispatched 1 scorpion and one snake in 3 weeks. You don't want to mess with Thai women :-)

I have decided to start porting some of my Flash apps over to HTML5 now that Google is making noise to limit the use of Flash in their Chrome browser. FireFox has already been doing this for a year. Both browsers will now ask you if you wish to enable Flash when you visit a website that uses it. Now, most reasonable people will click yes if they trust the web site but there are so many clueless netizens out there who will click yes to anything to advance to the site. Think, 'porn' and 'sharing illegal content, such as songs' sites. Users get what they deserve and unfortunately Flash is sometimes used to deliver what they deserve. Flash is (was) a great platform to develop for.

Other than a bit of programming, life in the village is pretty boring (except for snakes and scorpions, but who needs that kind of excitement). Ten more days and I am back in Bangkok for 2 days and nights and then off to Canada for 55 days.

My post yesterday must have had some effect on Lot's karma because he had no work today and decided to build a bamboo fence around the property which took all day and looks quite nice compared to the neighbor's fence.
