Sysinternals – must have for your computer

MS-SysinternalsProcessExplorer

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some utilities that you must have.  FREE from Microsoft, they really let you see what is happening in your computer.  SYSinternals

Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded. 

The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you’ll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you’ll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.

And also get  Autoruns for Windows v9.51 – to be able to see exactly what is loaded in your system.

Pattaya – Le Cafe Royale

Sawadee Khrap

CafeRoyaleTitleLets start off with a great deal from Thomas Kalb, manager of Le Cafe Royale Hotel, Restaurant – Piano Bar in BoyzTown, Pattaya.  He has offered to give a discount to anyone booking in the Hotel if they mention AsianCoOp in a email to him before booking.  What a nice gesture. 

_-20They are the second venue on your left when you enter BoyzTown – John and I had dinner here 4 nights in a row the food was so good, Cottage Pie and Pork Chops were my favorites.  I also stayed for the music and really recommend that you do not miss DK and Richard ( El Duo ).  These guys were great.

From here I went next door to “Toy Boys Night Club” to see the show – and was also not disappointed.  Wow – great young men, over 20 when I was there – and what eye candy.   Manager “Puk” was very attentive to our needs and he did ask the boys if I could take a picture to put in the blog – Sorry, many of the boys were still going to college and didn’t want their pictures on the web_-23 –  You just have to go there and see for yourself.

But while having dinner I did get a shot of some of the boys on the stage across the street at “Funny Boys” – another great venue – so many great looking boys  –  I hope you can make them out.

While at dinner we did meet two great guys  Rak and Bier  and they joined us in the street chairs watching the action and talking about Pattaya.  Here are their photos. Aren’t they cute.

People are so friendly in BoyzTown – stop by for a drink, dinner or a show – meet someone to talk to have a great time – AND mention our name and get a discount at the Hotel – Thanks again Thomas.

Nu leaves hospital & John’s arrival

Sawadee Khrap

Sorry for the slow posting, or actually no postings at all.  It’s not that I have been busy, but that Nu has been in the hospital and things have just been very chaotic. 

Nu will leave the hospital tomorrow and stay with his Aunt & Uncle while I go to Bangkok.  Neighbors are watching the house and dog so everything taken care of there.  I will have more information on Nu’s recovery when I get back. 

My friend John from San Diego will arrive in Bangkok this Saturday and I will meet him there and drive back to Chiang Mai seeing the sights along the way.  I rented a larger car and I have the cameras, so I do expect to get some shots to show.

Soooooooooooooo – see you soon.

 

Some models

Sawadee Khrap

Here is a couple of examples of photos I have done for the guys here.  I have the studiio working now and have a few more boys ready to model.  I’m working hard to develop shots that really show the beauty of the Asian male body.   Not sure yet, how the site is going to be setup, I think just a gallery theme would be nice – (suggestions !!!)     ._-3_-9_-11

Please don’t ask for the models names or addresses – I will have each linked to a email address at the web-site where you can send a message to them. 

So for now, I hope you enjoy some examples of some of the shots and composits I have done so far – Paintings will follow, I’m working on them now.  Comments and requests are always appreciated.

Berlin “Carnival of Cultures”

Max from Berlin sent me these photos of the “Carnival of Cultures”  and his byline:

B 09 Carneval (1)

“We had a very colourful weekend here in Berlin!!

so, this months will bring much more street-party’s and gay-parades ‘CSD’ in the life-full city Berlin:))

see some nice pic’s, also from the Thai-community here in Berlin, with there traditional costumes, only one group among 135 other groups from different cultures. More than 600 000 looked on this 4 h parade in ‘Kreuzberg’, a district from Berlin, with many students, artists and different nationalities.

since 14 years always on a public- and Christian- holiday,

this parade of “ the carnival of cultures” goes on for 4 days until very late nights.
I enjoy it very much, this swinging relaxed atmosphare.”

Here’s the —— Slideshow –—-

Metro Bar, Chiang Mai – Open – fantastic

Sawadee Khrap

Metro Bar 2

WOW – The Metro Bar is open for business and what a delight.  Todd and Pia have out-done themselves on this place.  I was going to take some pictures to show but Peter West & Sa  from ChiangMaiChimes has done a great job so I’ll just post their link here.

 

I went down last night to see the place and have a Sprite.  beautiful decor, great bartenders, and reasonable prices – I assume they will be a little bit higher in the busy season, but Todd assures me that he has no intention of gouging his customers – be prepared for a great evening and not emptying your pocketbook – that is concerning the club but of course you can always approach one of the cute boys in the bar and things may change.  And there were several cute guys in the club while I was having my drink and that was before 9 PM – I wish I could have stayed to see who came in later in the evening.

I am told that Adam’s Apple is expected to be open in about a month – Thai time, that is – we’re hopping – then hit the “Metro” for a drink, trip upstairs to watch the show, and back for a night cap.  Todd also promises that Metro will not be a place where you have to fight off the money boys – no pressure, great atmosphere and good parking (that’s a major difference too)  Be sure to stop by – Opening month – free snacks too.

Studio working

Sawadee Khrap

Well I finally have the studio in a somewhat working order – most of the upgrade is in and I am now going to need to calibrate the lighting and determine the best backgrounds to use.  I have several models lines up – I hope they will allow me to post their shots (I will start up www.gThaiStudio web-site for the more revealing shots– I’ll keep you posted).

Gabby2

Here are a couple of shots I made of Gabby – I posted Gabby’s web-site in a earlier post and we will be doing more in the future before he goes back to Ghana.  I am also interested in seeing how he has used Photoshop and Lightroom to enhance his photos  – perhaps he will allow me to post some of his creations too.

Back At Last – and a joke from Jerry

Sorry to have taken so long to check in – a lot has happened.  

First, Nu has left the Temple and is going to start school this Tue and is getting a apt of his own.  We’ve had some differences and a break was needed.

Second – I have completed work on my photo studio and plan on starting having models over – I will post examples of those who allow me to post their shots  –   At least I hope I can make some great shots.  I also think I will use gThaiStudio web-site for the gallery.  I’ll have to work on that, so stay tuned.

And finally  – Jerry sent me this one:

A man and his boyfriend were watching a TV program on Psychology, when the  man turned to his boyfriend and said, “I bet you can’t tell me something that  will make me happy and sad at the same time.”
           
He said, “You’ve got the biggest penis of all your friends.”

Adams Apple opening soon

Sawadee Khrap

Just talking to Todd and Pia, the new owners of Adams Apple and they say the Metro Bar & Lounge should be open for business in about a week and the Second floor – Adams Apple Club will be in about 2 months – 

If the new Club looks anything like the Lounge (Designed by Mohammed) it will be a instant success – I know the line-up of boys will be the best in town and I am told the the “Boy Scout” skit will be the only one they are keeping from the old AA routines. Can’t wait to see the new talent.

Check out their web-site and be sure you don’t miss the opening, or for that matter any show, if you are in Chiang Mai   I’ll get some pictures to show for the next post as it opens.

Ciao
