Initially, the project was only available to Nendoroid fans who live in Indonesia, but it has recently open to international fans as well.

Here are the details:

Introducing Nendonesia Wallpaper Set #1

I got bored yesterday, so I decided to tinker around with my previous photos, in order to create some wallpapers out of them. XD

Well, for starter, I use one of my photos from my recent Singapore trip and I made it into a set containing wallpapers with various resolutions.

These are the wallpaper resolutions that I used:

  • 480 x 272 (PSP)
  • 960 x 544 (PS Vita)
  • 1280 x 800
  • 1280 x 1024
  • 1366 x 768
  • 1440 x 900
  • 1600 x 900
  • 1680 x 1050

Actually, I have not tested the PS Vita version yet, because I do not own the portable gaming device. I simply made it out by some tutorials I found on the net. If you have any chance to test it on Vita, kindly let me know how it goes, okay? ^^

Well then, this is Nendonesia Wallpaper Set #1, which is available for you to download by clicking the following link. Don’t forget to give me your feedback about the wallpaper set. XD

Nendonesia Update: Blog Migration, Layout Change, Forum Partially Enabled

New blog layout

New blog layout

Firstly, we would like to say HAPPY EASTER! Yes, it is a bit late, but considering what we had gone through on the weekend, we hope you forgive us for the late greeting. XD

Anyway, this recent weekend was one of our most challenging week ever. The whole server went down due to some network attacks and the blog was not accessible at all. There were some huge news, tipped by both our readers and partners, but we could not post it to the blog due to the server problem.

Some of you might also remember about the “Site is Offline” problem and other issues happening to the blog recently. It happened just after we were using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) service provider to enhance the blog’s performance as well as caching stuff so that when the server got some hiccups, you would still be able to access the blog as usual. It turned out that the provider caused us more troubles rather than improvement.

Thankfully, the aforementioned problems were things in the past; we have migrated to another service provider which are famous for its reliability. Yep, in case you have not noticed yet, the blog is now proudly hosted by WordPress.com, one of the most popular and widely used blog service. Yay! ^^

We have also done a few tweaks under the hood as well as a small layout refresh. What do you think about the new theme, Nendonesian? XD

By the way, Nendonesia Forum has been enabled partially now. New user registration is still disabled until we find a way to prevent the automatic (bot) sign-ups. Registered (and logged-in) users can still access the forum as usual though – creating new threads, replying to posts, private-messaging, etc. Oh, and we temporarily change the forum address to: http://forum.animaster-talks.net until we finished setting up stuff. XD

Well then, we would like to thank you, Nendonesian, for always supporting us. ^^

Good Bye 2011, Welcome 2012!

See you in 2012!

See you in 2012!

We are already at the end of 2011. Yep, today is New Year’s Eve, where we usually gather up with our family for the last feast of the year, and preparing resolution for the next year (if any XD). Allow us to put a famous quote by Bill Vaughan:

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”

Well then, are we optimists or pessimists? XD

In any case, we would like to say HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 to you all, Nendonesian! Thank you for your support to Nendonesia throughout 2011. Let’s have a lot of Nendo-fun again on 2012! ^^
