Ancon Facebook Profile Pics

May 24, 2010 in Technology with 1 Comment

Last year, Ancon took over Facebook. Tons of people put Ancon pictures as their profile pictures, and this helped create a whole heap of buzz for Ancon, and got lots of people psyched for it. You can read about it here. (And if you don’t know what Ancon is, then read this)

So I thought that I would try to help everyone out, and create a few pics that people can use for their profile pics if they want to.

Below are two square pics, which mean that your thumbnail will also have all of the text. There is also a longer pic which is designed to blend into your Facebook wall, as well as being a good thumbnail. I got the idea for this from this great post.

Ancon 2010 – SWED Committee Tells All

May 23, 2010 in Life with 0 Comments

Here’s a video that I made with the SWED (Social Work and Education) Committee recently, advertising Ancon (the SUEU’s Annual Conference).

This video was actually made to joke around with the fact that so often when people tell others about Ancon, they don’t actually say anything factual, they just use lots of adjectives to say how good it is. I hope you enjoy it.

O, and register for Ancon.

RSVPing/Registering is Loving

May 21, 2010 in Life with 0 Comments

I suck at RSVPing, and I’m only slightly better at Registering for conferences and the like. I have realised that this is a flaw that I need to address.

As someone who has invited people to events (parties, weekends away, etc.), it can be really frustrating when people don’t RSVP or rego early. This is for a number of reasons, including the fact that you need to know numbers for catering and to know that you need to cover minimal costs. Therefore, it is awesome when people say that they’re coming early, and really frustrating when people leave it to the last minute. For this same reason it is frustrating when people pull out at the last minute.

Please Register

I’m sure you can all sympathise with me. Almost everyone has had a birthday party, and a lot of people I know have been in charge of running conferences. It is really frustrating when people don’t RSVP or rego for your event.

Therefore let us serve and love each other by RSVPing and registering early for events. I have said before that I am not very good at doing this, and I am sorry if I have not RSVPed for your event. But I am going to try and be better at it. It honestly doesn’t take long to check your calender and see if you can make it, and if you’re just waiting for a better invitation then don’t, the invitation you have is probably pretty good.

So, go now, register for Ancon and calm the nerves of the Ancon team, RSVP for that 21st and reassure the person organising it, and rego for that weekend away coming up. It’s loving.
