coops Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 couple of additions inspired by the pathetic attempts of internet censorship... and get by those pesky work firewall/filters (under your own risk of course...) 1. Ultrasurf - google it and you'll find a very good auto proxy finder that then starts up IE all set up for proxy use to the random proxies it's checked and chosen. Very good. Free. 2. Torpark - even better and still free. Outstanding, works at getting to any site in Thailand or at work.... this is a 5Mb or so program that sets up your own TOR circuit (some kind of private/virtual network or something...), so bypasses any censorship and works excellently... no probs getting thru to adultfriendfinder for example. Unzip then run the exe and it starts up its own browser - a portable firefox browser. ps BOTH these programs can be saved to a thumb drive and run from there - no need to install to restricted company Pc's etc and no traces left after you've gone. coops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun004 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 . I'll second the recommendation made by coops for proxy software. Many web sites are banned here in Thailand -- thousands of them. The only way around is a proxy. The government has even banned some -- but not all(!) -- of the proxy download sites. Here is a link to an excellent discussion with more details: http://geobay.com/5b2c15 And that forum is not (yet) blocked here. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Recently came across Screamer Radio ( http://www.screamer-radio.com ), a small 700KB freeware internet radio player that allows you to listen to and record streaming audio. Has some nice Thai radio stations built in eg Morlam etc. More Thai stations here http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/?s=thai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamui Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I have to revive some of my recommendations for useful software: - I left the online servive blogger.com and set up my own blog using the open source software Wordpress - Desktop Search: X1 has more features and seems to search deeper than other programs - Torrent downloader: Utorrent is the program I use now. Very small and easy to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texascity Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) any one else tried the voice recognition software? Dragon NS is awesome although all I could find at Pantip was 'demo' software of Dragon IBM Via Voice works well but takes more training & is limited in options. lass on the 3rd floor .. on the wall to the left facing the food court had the best voice recognition options. + she could find any software inquired about in nano-seconds! oh, you need a fairly good mic .. the 300 Thb mics are pretty much useless. I found a Shure headset mic that works very well. Edited November 17, 2006 by Guest edited becasue i needed to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straycat Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I notice that it's close to 5 years since I made my first post in this thread! Let's revisit "the essential software list" for 2008. 1. Mozilla/FireBird Firefox 2. Eudora Mail Gmail/Mail.app synced via IMAP 3. Winamp Ditched for iTunes 4. Mobile Safe PC Still have it on my Nokia, but hardly worthy of a 4th place on the list... 5. Note Tab Pro - still in use on my PC:s, but looking for an equivalent on my Macs 6. VLC 7. uTorrent / Transmission 8. Google: Reader, Notebook, iGoogle & Calendar (unfortunately still dependant on MS Word) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
