ICQ 6

Yes, I am still using ICQ 6 for work related purposes. I was surprised to see that I still have alot of my old contacts on the icq list. Some of them brought back memories, but others just basically made me realise how old I was. hehe. My icq number still sits at 37743527 which is only 7 digits, last check there is about 10 digits now for the latest icq numbers.

Anywho what I wanted to say was that I HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE just trying to get my history details out from my icq list. Wanted to savour some moments I had when I was a young punk in University. Goodness me, the trouble I had to go through using an ICQ exporter which required me to pay USD15.00 to extra my data. I ain't paying crap! hehe. So i guess i followed some tricks to download messages.mdb from the system, which is the type of db that icq uses to store messages unlike msn which uses XML. It took me quite a while to find it on VISTA! stupid vista, its a constant reminder to never upgrade my notebook to it. Vista came with work so I had no choice. So much tweaking to do and it took me ages to get to this "C:\Users\magicstar\AppData\Roaming\ICQ" instead of this "C:\Documents & Settings\your user name\ICQ\" on a typical Windows XP which is so much more clearer and easier. I really wonder if the developers for Vista had alot of twisted minds trying to get the codings right. Any ex-microsoft developers out there?

Oh wells after finally getting the mdb out, I had to download and online mdb reader coz dohs i don't have microsoft access. lol, so i headed over to MDB Viewer Plus 1.41 to grab my viewer. Weee! everything is settled! Gotta love Google!

From the picture above you can imagine a whole market the size of a 1/2 football field filled with rows of shop of this nature. plus there is poeple cooking in some of the inner stalls and hundreds and thousands of ppl ranging from locals to farang's to other local asians walking around with sweaty bodies! eeww! gosh we got out of the place after 2 hours and we barely covered 50% of the place. there is just so much to shop but mostly they are just fashion shops. yeahs i see people taking pictures in siam paragon so taht they can return home to make and sell at the local markets.. genius aye?
