Wait, I&#8217;m always bored.
Aha! I know&#8230; I&#8217;ll develop Wordpress Themes.  Hmmm, I&#8217;m a minimalist.  So, maybe I&#8217;ll create Minimalist Wordpress Themes.
Don&#8217;t worry, I know PHP. Honest! (Quick, what does PHP stand for? Don&#8217;t! Google! That!  You&#8217;re right, it&#8217;s Philippine Peso.)
But&#8230; where to start?  Ah, yes, here.
So&#8230; check back after about&#8230; a month.  [...]

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finally, <a title="adobe" href="http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank">Adobe</a>, <a title="google" href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google </a>and <a title="yahoo" href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank">Yahoo </a>are <a title="infoworld" href="http://www.infoworld.com/archives/emailPrint.jsp?R=printThis&amp;A=/article/08/06/30/Adobe-Google-Yahoo-enabling-Flash-searches_1.html" target="_blank">working to enable search for Flash-based content</a>. Me thinks Adobe is a bit slow in optimizing their Flash player technology.</p>
<p>One reason why most sites refrain from using Flash exclusively is because of its file size overhead. The other reason is SEO &#8211; it&#8217;s impossible to crawl Flash content. <span id="more-93"></span></p>
<p>So now they are addressing the SEO problem, I hope they are also starting with the file size issue.</p>
<p>The reason the file size of a Flash movie is big is all the components responsible for its rich features have to be dowloaded by the browser.  A creature told me that Adobe was planning on installing these components in the Flash player itself.  That way, a Flash movie will mostly only contain content (excluding rich UI components), making the file size <strong>significantly smaller</strong>.  I can&#8217;t wait for this to happen.</p>
<p>So what is a Flash player and what is a Flash movie? I wish I could tell you but I have to get back to work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.blogexmachina.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/groovenet.jpg" alt="groovenet.jpg" style="padding-right: 10px" align="left" />The past few months, the Filipino social networking site, <a href="http://www.groovenet.ph" title="GrooveNet, Inc." target="_blank">GrooveNet</a>, has been buzzing *silently* across the Philippine web.  GrooveNet is the exclusive distributor of <a href="http://www.there.com" title="There U.S.A." target="_blank">There</a> in the Philippines, an online 3D chat application that is perhaps second only to Second Life in terms of number of users and popularity.  When you register at GrooveNet, you get an avatar for the 3D World and a profile page in the GrooveNet site itself.</p>
<p>You can upload MP3 songs to the music player provided in the profile page.  Also, the profile owner can move around the panels.  Moreover, the profile owner can add custom panels as he/she pleases.  The owner can then add widgets to these custom added panels.<span id="more-46"></span></p>
<p>Not too many people know that the lead developers of this site hail from Davao.  I developed the <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/" title="Adobe Flex" target="_blank">Flex</a> and backend applications of this site (from ground up, using Flex, C#, PHP, Mono and MySQL) while Danny skinned the user interface.</p>
<p>Alright now, spare me the insults.  I am fully aware of its shortcomings.</p>
<p>The most obvious being which it loads slow.  However, that&#8217;s a given when you&#8217;re using Flex, more so when using Flex for an application this &#8220;big&#8221;.  Also, the feature sets are not that comprehensive yet but this site will always be a work in progress.  I won&#8217;t be a part of its progress anymore , however, as I just resigned from GrooveNet last February 2008.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not Facebook but, hey, it&#8217;s made in the Philippines.</p>
