Thanks to Aya! Read it here.
Last Tuesday, The Japan Foundation invited me to the press screening of Reunion, one of the 16 movies featured in Eiga Sai 2014. The theme for this year is family.
Reunion is about a community worker who volunteered in the temporary morgue set up after a devastating calamity. The movie worth watching, if only how the Japanese reacted to the devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
Eiga Sai 2014 runs from July 3 to 13 at the Shangri-La Mall theaters.
Thanks to R. Samson for the invite.
Wow, my sales for the Sunday Toycon was greater than the sales from the Saturday Toycon. A first.
Thanks to Cholo, Az, and everyone from Toycon 2014. Next year ulit!
I may activate the comment registration form to finally deal with the spam.I want to get the comics archiving system right before proceeding with other plugins, the blog, the store and media gallery. I updated the back end of www.beerkada.net. I got tired of not finding the strips I wanted from my own website. I wanted to find strips so I can use it as a graphic comment in other people’s posts. I also lost the ability to link old story arcs to recent developments because of outdated WordPress tools.
Plus, I wanted to make a permanent blog, not just the quickly forgotten missives on Facebook. I hesitated posting on WordPress because it was slow and uploading images was cumbersome. As gard as it was on a desktop, I was worried it would be molasses slow from a smartphone. I was hoping that in 2014, the updates have improved the platform.
The first thing I did was backup the wpadmin, content and includes. Then I updated not just WordPress, but my essential themes and plugins: Comicpress, Comic Easel, Adrotate, and others. The new version of Comic Easel allows for bulk import for comics strips. I installed a security plugin which limits spam comments.
Google provided all the answers I needed in modifying details.
While the updated site is functional, it’s far from complete. I’m trimming down the other features to keep the whole thing lean and manageable. I’m also testing the comics pages before fixing the rest.
