End of the Summer Edition of What's On My Monitor

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on September 3, 2007 - 08:36

I had a good summer - hope you all did too. I tend to leave open a lot of windows in Firefox thinking I'll get to writing a snappy comment about them and often never do. Let's see what I can come up with while I close out my summer readings....

THE LOWDOWN ON DOWNLOADS 

  • WOWIO is a site that offers a lot of comics (and ebooks too) for download, some of them free.  There's a good post by T Campbell here on his experience working with the site to offer his comics and over here is some skepticism from FLEEN.  Campbell reveals that he gets 50 cents per unique download of his comic.  I signed up myself earlier this year with a "non-anonymous" email (I think I used a comixpedia.com one) and don't remember being bothered by the information requested.  If the information requested did bother me well here's a tip.  For a lot of sites I use a set of information I've created to give to sites I think anonyingly ask for too much information.  That way they know nothing about me and yet I can remember the "information" if I need it later for some reason (like recovering a password).  I don't think of it as all that different than giving physical stores made up zip codes when they ask for one (which I do all the time too).  (There's some regional group of newspapers websites - including this one - that asks everytime you read a story for your birthdate, gender and zip code.  That is damn annoying!)

PhilCon

PhilCon is a science fiction con with plenty of comics (and LEGO!) action.

Here's the "comics" track of events:

  • Sat 12:00 PM in Parlor B—Graphic Tales: Comics, Graphic Novels, and SF (106)

    Since the 1930?s, with the debut of Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, and a certain strange visitor from another planet, comics and SF have been intertwined. Characters like Batman, Iron Man, Green Lantern, and the X-Men all contain heavy science fiction influences. And titles like The New Gods, The Eternals, and The Legion of Super Heroes (which took place in the 30th century!) are basically serialized space operas. So why does it seem like so many fans of either genre don?t seem to see any similarity? Our panelists will look at comics from an SF perspective.

Onezumi.com begins development on a webcomic/art site setup package for non-techincal people

Submitted by harknell on April 22, 2006 - 23:39

Harknell, webmaster of the webcomic Onezumi.com, has begun work on a new system to install and set up an art/webcomic website for non-technical people.

This website package will be comprised of a few open source database website systems, but with an installer that requires very little technical knowledge on the part of the artist. The goal of the project is to help out artists who want to have a website, but are unsure of how to create or set up one due to the difficulties of learning PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, and other internet protocols. Along with a simple set up and install interface, there will be extensive user documentation explaining how to make the webpage look the way the artist wishes, all explained in easy to understand language.

lang.php problem in add webcomic page

Submitted by harknell on April 5, 2006 - 18:03

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that there were some issues with your (I assume) lang-english.php file for the add a webcomic dashboard page. It's no big deal, since the variable definitions are pretty much descriptive of the field in the form. But a large number of them are not set since they are showing up in the _submitbutton format which denotes no entry for that in the language file (or a possible coding mistake in assigning them in your template).

I do a ton of this stuff for my job so I recognized it.

UberCon VI Convention Report by Phil Kahn

October 23, 2005 - 23:00 | Phil Kahn

I'm having trouble taking it all in. It was an amazing experience. I'm still shutting my eyes and taking myself back to the time I spent there, with all the good times I had and all the new friends I made.

There are three important things to know for reading this: I have never been to a gaming convention before. I have never been to New Jersey before. And I have never been a guest to a con before. So bearing those things in mind, here's my report...
