Please don’t hurt the Web
April 22, 2007
I found this awesome graphic at Mozilla Development Center.
From Mozilla Development Center: This graphic was first designed at the 2006 Firefox Developer’s Summit by Sean Martell based on an idea from Chris Beard, this graphic became a smash hit at the SWSW conference in 2007. Now available as a desktop wallpaper in a variety of sizes.
(Let’s take a close look at the teardrop. What’s a pity Fox!)

Another step away from my lovely XP
August 5, 2006
As you can see in my previous post; I told you that
A lot of thing are coming into my mind. They deserve to be in my blog.
Now they are. As stated in the title, I’m now moving another step away from Windows. Don’t be confused! I’m not at all hating Windows. I’m just getting more and more good feeling with Open Source software. You might say, “you work with OpenSource, so you never like Microsoft”. Say it! I don’t mind. 
Let’s come to what I want you to know. Ok, here is it…
It’s Ubuntu? No. It’s an application that always make me switch to Windows everytime I want to upload picture to my flickr account.
As most of you know already, flickr is a very famous digital photo sharing website. We can upload our picture and use them in other website by linking to the URL of the picture (just like I used here). To make it more easier, flickr provided an uploader application which can be installed and run in our computer. Unfortunately, that application works only in Windows (as far as I know). This is a pain for me since I’m not staying too much with Windows. I have to switch to my Windows XP to be able to upload my favorite pictures. Actually, we can also upload via website but most of the time it did not work for me. flickr looks not so friendly to my Konqueror. I have to use Firefox instead.
As you can see above, I was in Ubuntu. So yes, I was in Linux. By using Kflickr, I can now upload any picture to my flickr account from my favorite Linux operating system (now there are 3: SUSE, Ubuntu and Kubuntu).
You may still not believe. Ok, let’s see inside my flickr account…
Just got the original SUSE Linux 10.1 box
July 25, 2006
Yesterday I got a box from SUSE. It’s a gift for my participation in testing and sending the bug that related to Khmer language in SUSE 10.1.
There were 6 installation CDs, 1 DVD (equivalent to those 6 CDs), start-up manual, and a brochure from Linux Magazine.
The whole box was still close with the plastic. Its slogan also caught my attention. It was “Everything you need to get started with Linux”.
Teared the plastic and saw what were inside…
6 installation CDs and 1 DVD.
This is a great present for me. I remembered the first time I started to work on SUSE translation, Karl Eichwalder, one of the SUSE people in charge of translation stuff, told me that I’ll not get any money from SUSE if I work on the translation. Instead, SUSE will offer me a box of the product. Now it got it. I’m so happy to keep and, of cause use it.
Cheer SUSE!
សាកភ្លក់ Linux ប្រភេទផ្សេង
July 25, 2006
ក្រោយពីទទួលបានស៊ីឌី Ubuntu កំណែថ្មីបំផុត (6.06, ព្រះនាមវាគឺ Dapper Drake) ពីមិត្តរួមការងារខ្ញុំមក ខ្ញុំក៏សាកដំឡើងវាក្នុងកុំព្យូទ័រធ្វើការរបស់ខ្ញុំ ។ និយាយទៅអា Ubuntu ហ្នឹង វាឡូយមែនទែន គឺវាមានតែ ១ ស៊ីឌីប៉ុណ្ណោះ (ខុសពីស៊ូស៊ីដែលមាន ៦ ស៊ីឌី) ហើយយើងអាចដំណើរការវាពីស៊ីឌីក៏បានដែរ (live CD) ហើយបើយើងពេញចិត្ត យើងអាចដំឡើងបានតាមក្រោយ ។ ហើយរបៀបដំឡើងវាក៏ស្រួលទៀត គឺមានតែ ៥ ឬ ៦ ដំណាក់កាលប៉ុណ្ណោះ ។
ឥឡូវខ្ញុំសូមនិយាយពីប្រវត្តិរបស់ Ubuntu បន្តិច…
Ubuntu គឺជាពាក្យមួយរបស់ភាសាអាហ្វ្រិកខាងត្បូង ដែលមានន័យថា “humanity towards others” ។ វាចេញផ្សាយក្នុងរយៈពេល ៦ ខែម្ដង ហើយវាប្រើ Gnome ជាបរិស្ថានផ្ទៃតុ ។ មិនបាច់គិតច្រើនថាតើ Gnome ហ្នឹងស្អីគេ ! វាមានតួនាទីជាអ្នកបង្ហាញផ្នែកក្រាហ្វិកទាំងអស់របស់ប្រព័ន្ធប្រតិបត្តិការលីនុច ។ បើគ្មានវា អ្នកនឹងគ្មានថ្ងៃឃើញទិដ្ឋភាពក្រាហ្វិកផ្សេងៗឡើយ ។
ហើយនេះគឺជា រូបភាពដែលស្ថិតនៅគម្របស៊ីឌីរបស់វា (យើងអាចស្នើសុំស៊ីឌីរបស់វាដោយសេរី តាមរយៈ Ship it) ៖
រីឯនេះវិញ គឺជារូបភាពវាទាំងមូលតែម្ដង (ចុចដើម្បីមើលរូបភាពធំ) ៖
ហើយអានេះជារូបតំណាងរបស់វា ៖
Open Source Software in Cambodia
June 14, 2006
As a man in Khmer Software Initiative project (known as KhmerOS), I had joint the 7th Cambodia Civil Society Forum Fair organized in Phnom Penh on 9-10th June 2006. There are about 60 local NGOs and communities showing their achievement. Many Khmer products can be found during this show. Yes, this fair aimed to promote Khmer products.
As you can see at [1], KhmerOS provided some Khmer software CDs for free to the people. In that CD, there is a bunch of software that people need for their daily computer life (running on Windows) starting from internet/email program (Mekhala and Moyura, the Khmer customized version of Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird) to office application (OpenOffice 2.0).
SUSE Linux 10.1, the first Linux operating system that works well with Khmer out of the box, was also shown during the fair. Many people seem to be interested in it very much. They asked for it but unfortunately KhmerOS could not provide it for free. People have to exchange their blank CDs. And after telling, some people went out for a few minutes and came with 6 blank CDs.
There are also some picture taken during the fair. I hope you’ll enjoy them.
Khmer software CDs labeled “Use and Distribute for free” in the top of CD. There were also five icons representing the CD content. Starting from the left: Khmer Unicode (standard Khmer keyboard layout and Khmer unicode fonts), OpenOffice, Mekhala, Moyura and Khmer Unicode typing program. People that did not get the CDs were invited to the upcomming event organized by KhmerOS project. It’s called Installation Party where people can just come and bring their laptop and PC case to KhmerOS office to get Khmer software installed.
SUSE Linux 10.1 CDs labeled “Khmer Computer Operating System” and “Use and Distribute for free” in Khmer
You can find more picture related to KhmerOS during the fair at [1].

ចង់មានន័យថាម៉េចហ្នឹង ?
May 31, 2006
បើអ្នកធ្លាប់ចូលទៅមើលតំបន់បណ្ដាញ OpenOffice ប្រាកដជាបានឃើញរូបភាពខាងក្រោមមិនខាន ។ បើមើលឲ្យជាក់យើងច្បាស់ជាឃើញសម្បកស៊ុតនៅក្បែរបក្សីនោះមិនខាន ។ មើល៎ តើរូបភាពហ្នឹងចង់មានន័យថាម៉េចហ្នឹង ?
គួរបញ្ជាក់ផងដែរថា OpenOffice ក៏ជាកម្មវិធីការិយាល័យមួយដែរ គឺយើងអាចប្រើវាដើម្បីរៀបចំជាឯកសារ ឬ លិខិតស្នាមផ្សេងៗ, ធ្វើការគណនា និង គ្រប់គ្រងទិន្នន័យ, រចនាស្លាយ…។ លក្ខណៈពិសេសរបស់វាក្រៅពីមានចំណុចប្រទាក់ជាភាសាខ្មែរ គឺយើងអាចប្រើវាដោយ សេរី និង ឥតគិតថ្លៃ ។
