FanExpo 2010

The FanExpo is a convention that combines comic, horror, science fiction, gaming and anime fans all under one roof.

This year has a wide range of guest stars and celebrities.

However, one of the main attractions at the FanExpo isn't the celebrities or the vendors. It is the fans. See a slide-show of some of the many great costumes after the jump.

Updates about nothing much

Been rather busy lately with a number of things, but after looking back over the last 3 months I don't find anything substantial to report on.

There are a number of little things, so I'll list them out.

Adding a Chess page...

I've decided to add a page for chess, mostly to discuss the odd game I'm a bit pleased with from Chess At Work.

Things aren't quite working out for me as of yet… I was just going to duplicate the methods used for the Articles section, but it will require a wee bit more personalization than I have had time for. Mostly because I've started another project (yay! more projects!). That project is Bellydance In Toronto. I am a month behind in the design phase. Because I suck at design. The current work in progress is at the development server.

Hopefully I can get one of these finished this week.

Zen Photo

I spent a bit of time today playing about with Zen Photo. It was a rather simple installation, similar in ways to a typical Wordpress blog. The only items that are needed initially are database specific details.

I played a bit with a few different themes, but after getting some odd PHP errors with most of them, I decided to stick with one of the defaults, stopdesign for now.

A couple of the features I liked was the ability to upload images via FTP and the automated watermarking. The use of lightbox for the Exif data display is a nice touch as well.

Of course, now comes the part where I have to decide which pictures to put up…
