Quick note, starting to upload pictures into the gallery. Will upload them as I can.

Link to photos - click me.

As usual, it was great to see everyone this weekend. Thank you for allowing us to take your pictures. Without you guys, we wouldn't be here!

It's closing in on 10pm here Sunday night, I'm pretty exhausted. I'm guessing photos will start going online tomorrow sometime. I'll post an update with a link when they do.

Regards,
Junior

Just wanted to let everyone know that the Otakon 2009 weekend pictures have finished being uploaded. The link again is here.

Thanks again for everyone that posed for us.

Hope to see you next year.

Howdy All,

I just got home from Otakon - I had a good time, but I'm exhausted. I've got some serious work to do on getting the pictures online. I've got ~5,000 to sort through! So, please be patient while I work to get them online.

I'll post updates as things progress.

Thanks!

Regards,
Junior

p.s. good to see everyone!

Pictures are going online now they can be found here.

All good things must come to an end, and Anime Mid-Atlantic 2009 just ended.  I'll begin working and uploading the photos hopefully tonight after Lou and I get back from dinner.

It was nice seeing old friends and making a few new ones too.

Thanks to everyone that posed! We wouldn't be here if it weren't for you!

Regards,
Junior

Also,  who is going to be at AMA?

Just a quick note to let you know that I've begun to upload the AnimeNext 2009 photos. The picture gallery can be located here.

Currently only my Friday pictures are online. More to come as time permits!

Waiting here for my turn to shower, so I figured I'd let everyone know not to expect the photos online before Tuesday this week.  I'm still going to be away on travel until then w/ no access to broadband (dial up? gack!). I'll post another entry when they are ready to go!

Regards,
Junior

Dave has posted his pictures up on the site. For Anime Boston 2009 photographs, click me.

We hope you enjoy them and find them worth the wait!

AnimeNEXT, soon!

Anime Mid Atlantic - soon too!

Just a quick note to let you know that Dave W. is at Anime Boston taking photos! We'll get his stuff posted most likely several days after the convention (when's had a chance to relax and process them).

Thanks all,
Junior

P.S. Who out there is going to be at AnimeNEXT or Anime Mid Atlantic?

Well, the site gremlin struck again. I can't seem to add any further photos to the coppermine gallery.. So, I've gone ahead and installed a second gallery (Gallery 2.0) for the CPAC 2009 pictures. Eventually I'll find something that'll work. Most of it I'm sure is the limited SQL resources that Godaddy is giving me. I may have to go to Gallery 1 that uses a file based way of keeping track of the photos.

Anyway, without further ado, here is the link to CPAC 2009.

Normal weekend coverage online. Lou's photoshoots are still in post processing and will be online soon.

Let's hope that GoDaddy doesn't shut the site down again!

Katsucon 15 (2009) Photos

I found out Godaddy had turned off the database because it was over utilizing the shared resources allotted to it. They were kind enough to turn it back on for me to allow some changes to the coppermine setup. I've went through and tried to set it to the minimal setup that I could work with.

Therefore, if it disappears again, it's off to plan two.

On another note, I'm going to start uploading some more pictures shortly.

Well, I'm hoping that it's a fluke and when I wake up tomorrow that the gallery will magically work again..

I called godaddy, and really didn't get anywhere other than a. it's a password issue (I never changed the password since setting up the database), so to humor them I changed it to the exact password it's always been - of course, didn't fix the issue and b. re-install coppermine. Don't get me wrong, godaddy for the most part has been good to me.

It's late, and I've got to get up for work tomorrow.. so I can't really do anything until I get home from work tomorrow.. at the earliest.

I think this re-incarnation of the gallery will use "Gallery 2.0"..

So, anyway, sorry about this folks, pictures are delayed until I get this working again.

Seems to be something going on with the photo galleries. Looking into it.

10:45pm

Started uploading some pictures.

Katsucon 15 (2009) Photos

More uploaded when I can.

Just got home about 30mins ago from the convention. It was a great time! Thanks to everyone that posed for us.

I’m guesstimating the photographs will start going online sometime Monday night and more through out the week. We’ll get them online as fast as possible, but we’ve got several thousand shots to sort through!

Lou and I will be at Katsucon this weekend. Feel free to stop us if you’d like some photos taken.

See everyone there!

…often go awry.

Well, so much for the progress I was making on the back logged convention photos. Today when I came from work, my system hard drive started knocking. Mechanical failure, lovely. If it were just a pooched windows install, or other software issue, not a problem. I’ve been working with computers long enough that I’m decent enough at recovering the data most of the time anyway. However, this time it’s hardware that’s failed. This is beyond me, I don’t have the tools to fix something like that. I call up Ontrack (a data recovery specialist we use at work), they give me a ball park figure of $500 to $2500 to get it back - MAYBE. Since this is a mechanical failure, it’s going to be on the higher end of that quote.

So, the question is. do I say forget it about it, move on (at least the photos on it were backed up elsewhere) or try and scrape up the $$$ for it?

Anyway, right now I’m simply working off a ubuntu live cd. I’m not going to rebuild anything for a while. I’m too ?@!#@ sick of computers currently.
