One of the great things about being a programmer is that you can pick up skills in a variety of technologies. Starting off with ColdFusion I learnt many things about web development and that it is much more easier than application development. Then moving into PHP I start to find even more challenges in the web development path. Of course I prefer web development over application development as I was never any good at it in the first place, as proven in back in the days of uni.
However before the Christmas and New Year holidays, which I of course never had any time off, my bosses decided to throw a bit of a challenge to me. And that challenge was to develop an iPhone application. At first I was quite stumped by the proposal but given the popularity of iPhone applications and the proposed idea behind the app I decided to give the challenge a go.

As a kid we all grow up with books that everyone will know about and love. One of the books would have to be Where’s Wally? series. During primary school I would spend a lot of the time in the library going through the books trying to find Wally as well as go through the checklist (it was also a great way to train my eyes to be as sharp as an eagle!). So what would happen if you combine a childhood favourite book like Where’s Wally? with the hobby of cars, and the awesome UK TV show Top Gear? Well you get a book called Where’s Stig?

The last dollfie meet was held WAY back in April for the Easter weekend and since the convention season is now over, it was time for another meetup. Sure conventions are a great time to meetup with other owners, but with so much to see and do it was a bit difficult to be in one spot. So with Halloween coming up at the time, it was a perfect theme for the dollfie meet. And since I still had the Canon 50D that I borrowed for the Eminence A Night in Fantasia 2009 concert, it was also the perfect chance to try out the 50D with a macro lens. So hit the jump to check out the photos.

It’s been so long since the last post here at and I figured it’s also a time for an update. So much has happened over the past few weeks but I might as well start from the very start. Some of you local readers/bloggers as well as my Twitter followers will know that I have moved out of the family home. After so many years of being cooped up in the family home in my small small room, I’ve taken the step towards actual freedom. So hit the jump on reading about the move and why.

So jumping between work, contract work, and packing up my belongings it’s time for an update on the Sydney Bloggers Meetup. With the last post gauging for an expression of interest, the response has been rather positive. Thus it is decided that the Sydney Bloggers Meetup will go ahead this Saturday, 26th September. The time and place will be the China Grand Restaurant (Level 3 Market City, Chinatown) at 1:30pm. I’m hoping that we can get a table around this time for yum cha as this is the best option that I can think of for a gathering. Of course other ideas are more than welcome.
So leave a comment in this post if you are a definite on turning up, and as well as any other guests that you may be bringing along, to this meetup so I can confirm the number of people to be sitting at the table. I will also send you my mobile details in case you need to contact me on the day. Also as a commemoration of this gathering I will have some items of mine that I will be giving away so look forward to that.
Oh and I almost forgot. We’ll be having a special guest coming all the way from Melbourne: Aya Kyunik of Moé Idolatry.

Being a blogger for something close to 3 years now I’ve made quite a few friends. Some locally and both internationally. But of course the Internet is just a means for us to communicate with each other and I would certainly like to meet the face behind the blog. Of course I’ve met quite a few people but having talked to some of you, you’ve also expressed interest in meeting other bloggers who have similar hobbies. So I have decided to call out to those who may be interested in having a Sydney Blogger’s meetup on the 26th September. This is only to gauge interest in seeing who would like to attend such a gathering. A requirement though is that you must have a blog that is currently active and blog about anime related items. If you are, please leave a comment on this post.
Oh and if you have suggestions for places to have a gathering, please let me know. And just as another note, the 26th is the same day as A Night in Fantasia. The meetup will be during the day so there won’t be too much of an issue since I’m also attending a A Night in Fantasia as well.
Usually on the 2nd day of any convention I’m usually more lazier to take photos. But for some strange reason I happened to have taken more photos than I normally would. I’m not sure why that is the case but I guess it would be the number of quality cosplays compared to previous years. Mind you I was also running off 4 hours of sleep so it was quite a feat. Hit the jump to check out more coverage of Day 2!
