This is a rather late invitation for WordCamp 2008 Philippines. I really really want to go to this event and I just realized I haven’t yet registered. Besides my boss is going to demo something, we should be “auto” registered. So here I am posting this to invite you all to attend WordCamp 2008 Philippines. This event is a celebration of Philippine Blogosphere using WordPress. Topics are great, speakers are awesome plus we get the chance to see Matt himself! Maybe dancing with him on the stage?
Anyway, here’s the list of the sponsors for this event.
Learn how to be a master rapper in the mold of the Master Rapper himself!

There were rumors for sometime that Google is creating a browser, supposedly called the gBrowser. Just like the Android buzz, it was apparently true.
Google released (and took back) videos of their newest product, the Google Chrome. It offers a modern approach on how should browsers behave. Like most modern browsers, it has tabs but what makes it special is how it handles the hosts memory. Today’s tabbed browsers allocate memory only for itself and all it’s tabs share the space. If the user created more tabs, the browser allocates more memory to accomodate the tabs. So when you load lots of tabs, the system gets slower and slower. Also when a single webpage/webapp that is loaded on a tab become too busy, it jeopardizes the other tabs as well, making it system freeze also.
Chrome, on the other hand, allocates memory for each tab, isolating it from each other. So when a certain tab gets too much resources than the usual, you can close it without affecting the other tabs. Also, you can monitor which sites are actually slow and forces the developer to be more conscious about their application.
You can learn more about Google Chrome here, and also they have a lengthy web comics right here.
Went to Greenwich to avail the Pizza-All-You-Can promo. I had 12 slices. It could have been more if the pizza was flowing like mud. But no. There wasn’t enough pizza for everybody. We have to wait long precious minutes.
And out of boredom I created this indestructible robot made out of leaflets and tissue paper. And I call it — PEET ZAPPA! (as in pizza pa!). If I was a god, i could’ve made it go fetch our pizza for us. But i wasn’t.
Peet Zappa is so pissed off because our pizza hasn’t arrived yet. And so was Reynan.
A very interesting and easy way to do things online. It’s currently on alpha prototype version.
