  1. The background graphics load a little slow on a dial-up connection, you should have sliced them. The animations are great, but the theme is more for nature than for an office furniture. The continous animation of the furniture at the left becomes annoying after few minutes, you should have made something that stops after a minute or two. if there's some information already on the site about it, I would probably place my left hand to cover the furniture so I could read the info without the animation blinking again and again.
  2. I think this is not an official Google site, But it is nice though. and ThaBlkPanda is right, it loads a little slow. Itried it but the result is not much a satisfactory for me, maybe because I donot like the Google logo's colors. hehehe
  3. I love Wednesdays! it is the day of the week when our news paper has its Photography section, I love reading the columns written by some of the best Filipino photographers. The update readers about latest trends in Photography, give tips on enhancing the photographs, as well as tips on buying and choosing a good single-lens reflex (SLR) and digital cameras. They also feature different people who have excelled in photography, which i find very inspiring.
  4. geocities is a good webhosting for anyone who is just starting. When I used if for the first time four or more years ago, I was amazed by how simple it was to upload the files. And the free scripts like Forms, Counters and the guestbook are nice as well. I do not mind the pop-up advertisment at the upper-right corner, it does not deform the layout anyways, and the visitors could always close it. And it is connected to all of my Yahoo accounts - Messenger, email, etc. I was using it for years until I realized it was not professional looking website. The URL is so long, although people could easily remember it.recently, I found out they changed their pop-up ads to something that would destroy everything on your page, which i guess would turn people off and transfer to another free host. I still keep my website at Geocities, in case something screwed up at trap, but i guess it won't happen.
  5. I have saved enough money to buy Macromedia Studio 8. although I have not used any of the macromedia products/softwares before, I am sure I would love using them. I drool everytime I see Flash powered websites, and I and all I can do is watch them move infront of my eyes. I have desiged flash banners and logos using Adobe ImageReady (by exporting and importing) before, but there is nothing better than using Macromedia Flash Professional and Dreamweaver.
  6. LOL, Fed-Ex boxes are tough, I have a classmate whose brother works at a Fed-Ex here in the Philippines and they actually use those boxex as tables for televisions and small stuff. But using those boxes as furniture-like things is cool. the only problem now is how to acquire all those amount of fedEx boxes, like for the bed -you have to use 44 FedEx boxes and 27, tubes, and 38 paddedpacks. unless you tell the whole community to donate their fed-ex boxes to you. hehehe

    The Gloria Scandal

    Who would not fell sick and tired of the Philippine politics?! I myself is sick of it that is why I do not watch the evening news anymore. Government officials are doing anything for their own good, they support the administration today then will go with the opposition tomorrow (literally). Money rules in their mind! and they are using the so called Gloriagate scandal to appoint their favorite to the highest position, even the non-experienced and non-backgrounder on politics and erconomics. They would enroll on a crash course on Politics and Governance for 6 months and they show it as a proof that they could run the country with ease.The voters are partly to blame for the corruption in the Philippines. They accepted bribes and gifts from election candidates for them (the candidates) to win. And after winning they would of course get back the money they spent from the government fund. And the people here vote their officials on popularity, not just being ordinarily famous and known, but they elect actors and actresses. (Think Arnie in Florida). Now, look at those senators (who still go out on television), all they do is sit blankly at the senate hall!And the congress here do not know anything but walk-out everytime they do not feel they will win in the debates in their session.
  8. I spend my online time checking on my websites and posting on some local fora like FHM Philippines and my former university's (Polytechnic University of the Philippines) website and forum. And most of the time I am checking on my Friendster account. posting Bulletin and messageing people on my friendslist. Friendster is BIG here in the Philippines, but there are also people who have MySpace accouts and the like.I also search for new Adobe Photoshop tutorials online, especially now that Photoshop CS2 is out more and more techniques are coming out from talented online people.Downloading legal videos is also part of my life. And of course GOOGLING! I love using Google! ?
  9. But it be be easier to use green backgroung, there is so little possibility that your clients will be wearing green, it would be easier to use the magic Wand tool by that.And yes, I would use real reflectors. Because the client might think that I am not a serious photographer withi those aluminum-foil-covered cardboards. hehehe
  10. This is so cool! we have all been waiting for our Favorite Goolge to release a program just like yahoo mesenge and the have it now on Beta testing. All we have to do now is to invite everyone to have their own Gmail account to use this feature.And guys, remember, This Google talk is still in Beta so be patient about some errors and glitch. Google is waiting for our comments and violent reactions to for them to enhance and make this bug free. So report those bugs!!
  11. Thank you for the tip! Now I wonder, how come these thing did not come to my mind before. I am interested in photography but I am thinking more of Landscape photography which is more of just a hobby. I am also thinking of having a business in photography but on wedding photography. Setting up a home studio never came to my mind because I am living in a small house which is just enough for us to move with ease.And because of your tip I am now planning to have a Home Photography Studio, I could just set up the studio when clients arrive, and remove them after the photography session. Just like having a television studio, you set up the props when there are shootings. heheheBut I have another tip, you could also use green cloth as background. most people do not use green on the outfits and shirts and this could help you edit the background easily if you have those pre-made backgrounds for studio and portrait shots. This is also the way big budgetted films work on their stunts and flying animations.
  12. Not because the current generation is exposed to the latest technology means theyare more intellegent. Some of the technology today make people more lazy, they do not study their lessons the way our parents did. They would just search the internet for their reseach papers, and they do not actually read them. Some do not acknowledge their sources, printing those search studies as if those were of their own writings and study.But the children's brain now are more advanced than people of yesterday, i guess, because there are sciences that deals with how the children should be brought to life. Before, parents would just let kids as kids. The gifted are not well taken care of because the parents do not know how to deal with their gifted sons and daughters. Unlike now, children are considered gifted and are being thought how to use musical instruments and drawing materials to know their abilities.
  13. I have received payments from Google Adsense, I got the pay check in the mail. Although it took two months before i received the pay ment for my December payments. but it is worth the wait, I got US$135 and it is already a big amount for a month of Google Adsense. Just do not cheat on clicking your own advertisements, you will surely get a big amount for those ads. they check everyone's account most of the time, so cheater beware! your adsense will be disabled, and accounts disabled from illegal clicks cannot be revived anymore.
  14. I would definitely have a Camera phone. although I may have my own digital camera with me all the time, I would still prefer to have Camera phones with me. it is so easy to share photographs using mobile phone to your friends, especially now that everything has a bluetooth device attached to them. It would be handy to have the camera phone because there is a big chance that you are holding your mobile phone than holding your digital camera in a occasion. taking photogrpah will be a breeze. although it may have some limitation, it is still one of the best characteristic of modern mobile phones.
  15. I would probably have a digital camera with me to take photographs of the changes that's happening in a desert or an island. Sun sets and sun rises would probably be a good view to photograph. And those waves thatthe sands create would be fun to see on my digital camera. I would take pictures of myself under the sand and I would create big sand castles and structures for my photography sessions. hehehe that would definitely be funny and exciting for the dessert changes all the time because of the wind. I just hope I could as well bring a phot printer.
  16. Sony Ericsson is by far the best mobile phone available in the market today. They have just released their Walkman Mobile phone W800i, and it has the best features that a person would want to have on his mobile phone. It has a free 0.5GB memory stick! the 2.0megapixel digital camera works just like a digital camera, and of course the walkman feature! You could listen to your favorite sounds just like a regular mp3 player. and yes, it is still a mobile phone. as if the mobile feature is just a free feature from a digital camera and mp3 player. Sony Ericssons are also user friendly and there are so many downloadable themes for your phone and free downloadle java games from their website. The designs are hip and not as weird as those Nokia phones. The Philippines is a Nokia-user country but some are starting to get annoyed by Nokia's lack in features, they would add some good features to their phones but will remove another. making it a not so perfect cellular phone model. While Sony Ericsson adds everything to their units to satisfy the needs of the user for a perfect phones.
  17. Wow! It is so cool! It loads a little faster, and it is powered by Google maps.
  18. I hope there ould be ways to dispose those garbages we produced from technology, so far the third world countries are becoming the the dump trucks for those trash. I hope they could make it more earth friendly and biodegradable. I wish to see computers running less on electricity and gasoline. I want something more from solar energy for every home, I wish they are chaeper. Cars that do not run from gasoline will out and running, and mobile technology will be smaller. Human will be like humanoids and cyborg because everyting will be attached to their bodies.
  19. Google definitely s the best Online search engine. There are plenty more add-ons from them that you will surely love, and being on the top of Google page ranking is better.
  20. I like the forum's latest theme/skin, is loads so much faster than before because there are not much graphics to download like those stars and reputation graphics. and those at the add reply's. this will save Trap 17 from consuming so much bandwidth.
  21. Most of these suggestions and tips work, especially using Signature to your emails and forum profiles. But there are some problems about banners exchange and reciprocal links, most of the time you will have spammers posting at your shoutboxes and guestbooks with unlimited website links which usually start with wrong grammars and spellings like "your website is raelly nice..." and they all have that same introduction though they are from different persond from different countries. it is very annoying, I have to IP ban them one by one.
  22. Check Bayanihan Linux http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I am not sure if this is the one you were talking about. Another Filipino member of Trap 17 has asked for a copy of the CD, I am not sure though if it is working properly on his computer now. He said that he was having a hard time installing the Bayanihan eh.
  23. Have you tried deleting the default index.php file from the public_html folder? maybe you have deleted that default index page but have not uploaded your own index.php or index.html file. or the extension name of your index file is not correct.

    Sponge Bob

    You know what?? While watching SpongeBob Squarepants this afternoon at Nickelodeon, I realized that Spongbob and Patrick Star are so much just like me when I was young. I was so innocent and naive on so many thinks that i ended up looking like stupid to most people. Maybe most peole does not like or actually hate Spongebob and Patrick's so called stupidity is because they remind us of how we were like them when were younger. We are still like them right now, but we do not see them in ourseves often because we are so busy watching other people act like those two cartoon characters that we forget we are very much like them. just my two cents.
  25. For me there is nothing wrong if Microsoft is copying or imitating Google's "Google Earth" or "Google Map." Sometimes a company needs a direct competitor so they would make their service or product better, if not best. But still, that MSN Virtual Earth is so much far behing Goolge's, as you can see they are still on the smaller area of the world, while Google is now thinking of Google Moon. hehehe Well, it is just some of their weird idea but it could be possible. Anything is possible with Google.
