Mass Effect 2 Playing Cards

ArtsCow recently had a sale that allowed you to create your own custom deck of cards for $2.99 USD. Not wanting to let this opportunity pass, I quickly gathered as many Mass Effect 2 related images as I could and created my own personalised ME2-styled deck. See the image below.

Simple Facebook Connect Integration

I found an interesting plugin for this wordpress blog when I was going through my RSS feeds a couple of weeks ago. Simple Facebook Connect allows blog commenters to post using their Facebook accounts for authentication. Not only that, it leaves a link back to their profile as well as showing their avatar (depending on privacy settings). I’ve installed the plugin on this blog, which you can try out by going to a post, and selecting “Connect with Facebook” on the sidebar.

I did note, however, that the FB avatar wasn’t being displayed correctly (alignment was broken) with the current theme, Fluid Blue. Needed to edit “simple-facebook-connect/sfc-comments.php” and replace the two relevant blocks that generates the picture displaying HTML with:

$avatar = "";

Macro Photography

I haven’t really used the macro mode on my Canon IXUS 80 IS much since I bought it so, out of boredom, I’ve decided to test it out and post up some photographs I took. The first photo is of the fan on my Xigmatek HDT-S1283 Red Scorpion. The second photo is from the control pod for my Logitech G51 speakers.
