After a high level party meeting on Wednesday, the Puea Pandin Party unanimously decided on Wednesday to join the coalition alliance led by the People Power Party (PPP) to form the new Thai government.
"Tomorrow (Thursday), I will inform the Chart Thai Party in order to plan a joint announcement to formally seal the coalition deal," Suwit Khunkitti, deputy leader of the Puea Pandin Party, said after the meeting.
According to local news network The Nation, all party executives and ranking members attended the high level meeting on Wednesday morning. Participants included party chairman Vatana Asavahame, party chief adviser Pracha Phromnok and party secretary general Vachara Phanchet.

Sadly, false but it hasn't stopped some wag from creating an impressive CNN.com/Health web page which is doing the rounds. I like your thinking but...
- Save Web Pages As An Image with Kwout - Kwout is like a Print Screen key for your web browser. This useful service lets you capture screenshots of web pages without requiring any software or browser plug-ins.
Type in the web page address and Kwuot will convert the entire web page as an image - simply select a portion with your mouse that you wish to save as an image and click “Cut Out”.
Later, you can enhance the screen captures of HTML web pages by adding borders, shadows and rounded corner - all this without leaving Kwout.
You can either download the image of that web page locally or let it stay on the Kwout website - the big advantage here is that all the hyperlinks inside the screenshot will remain live and active. [via Digital Inspiration]
- Namexif - batch rename your digital camera files with the date and time. If you've got a digital camera, we're going to go out on a limb and guess that your computer is littered with files bearing names like DCIM0001.JPG and IMG4527.JPG. Sure, you try to give your photos meaningful labels like "Us at the beach playing catch with our new puppy.jpg" but who has the time?
Namexif won't tell you which images have your adorable new puppy and which show your bratty kid sister. But it will automatically rename most of your images according to the date and time they were taken, which should help you keep your digital photo albums a bit more organized.
As the name suggests, Namexif will only work on images captured using EXIF compliant cameras, but that covers an awful lot of the digital cameras on the market. And if Namexif can't figure out the date and time an image was taken, it just won't rename the picture, so you have nothing to lose by trying it out. [via Downloadsquad]
