Hard to believe it's been over a year since I last posted. Like most other developers (except for those rare super diligent ones) work gets in the way of finding time to post useful information to my blog. However, I thought I'd take this time to introduce the recently formed Philter Design Studios team. Going from only a single developer (me) to a team has been quite an adjustment, but a positive one. Between the 4 of us, maybe the frequency of posts will increase. So here we are:
Me (Phil Chung) (CEO) - Not much changes for me aside from having to take more time to manage the team and clients and still find time to do the actual dev work. Hard to believe it's been almost 10 years since I first picked up Flash.
Kingston Fung (Lead Flash Developer) - Kingston is an Adobe certified Flash developer with over 8 years of experience. He was also a part-time instructor for a recognizable technology institution sharing his Flash knowledge. Currently he is working with the latest Flash and Silverlight technology to develop robust rich internet applications.
David Pasieka (Flash Developer) - David has been involved with the digital world since a very early age when he was given a Sinclaire ZX81 home computer, and learned to program in Basic on it. He then proceeded through an Apple IIE, and Amiga 2000, and is now at home on PC's and Mac's. As someone involved a great deal with the Arts, David became involved in freelance Graphic Design off and on for approximately 8 years, before applying to the Digital & Interactive Media Design program at NAIT. It was there that he discovered a penchant for working with code, and he graduated with a specialization in Flash Development.
Chris Nicol (.NET/Silverlight Developer) - Having moved to Canada from Ireland in 1999, Chris' education includes a Computer Systems Technology program as well as, more recently, a .NET developer program. Prior to graduating, he was hired by the company running that program to work as a .NET Web Application Developer. Chris' experience includes development of several online pizza ordering sites and the highlight of his career was his trip to Hawaii for the successful launch of Pizza Hut's Hawaii's ordering application. Along with programming, he is also addicted to soccer and golf.
Look forward to entries not only related to Flash/Flex/AIR, but also Silverlight. I've had a lot of exposure to Silverlight over the past few months and I hope to share some of those thoughts in the coming days and weeks. As well, each of the team members have valuable things to share from their own experiences and I think we have a really good mix of skillsets.
Pleased Fresh Year one! :)
In the seventh heaven New Year everybody under the sun! :)
Te amamos! Menina de pes que flutuam no sonho, mas que jz sabe onde fica seu porto seguro.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help reduce content from being stolen? I'd definitely appreciate it. Kudos!

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
I like this website very much so much superb information.
Pretty good post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog and posts. Anyway I¡¯ll be subscribing your feed and I hope to read your blog again.

Thanks a lot!

Hey would you mind letting me know which hosting company you're utilizing? I've loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price? Thanks, I appreciate it!

Can I simply say what a relief to find someone who actually is aware of what theyre speaking about on the internet. You undoubtedly know tips on how to deliver a problem to mild and make it important. Extra folks must learn this and understand this facet of the story. I cant believe youre no more fashionable because you undoubtedly have the gift.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
I genuinely enjoy reading through on this web site, it has good articles. "A short saying oft contains much wisdom." by Sophocles.
Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they plainly don¡¯t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

One thing I'd really like to say is car insurance canceling is a dreaded experience so if you're doing the correct things as being a driver you will not get one. A lot of people do receive the notice that they have been officially dumped by their insurance company they then have to struggle to get further insurance following a cancellation. Low-cost auto insurance rates are often hard to get after a cancellation. Knowing the main reasons regarding auto insurance termination can help owners prevent losing one of the most vital privileges readily available. Thanks for the suggestions shared by your blog.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
Some truly nice stuff on this site , I it.
