Happy Birthday, my friend!

It’s early, but I don’t care.

Which Brisbane QBNer did I see riding through the Valley tonight in a QBN tee?

Binding/finishing question Mar 19, 09, 8:10 p.m.

Hello friends.

Does anyone know the technical term for gold-foiling on the fore-edge of a book, as viewed when the book is closed. Like on ye olde style Bibles? It’s for a friend.

Thanks.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Any ideas about this one folks?

Cheers!

Before I kill myself, what is the name of this agonisingly familiar typeface?

Logo Critiqué Jan 18, 09, 3:11 p.m.

Hello QBNers.

Here is an early draft of one concept for a new logo for an international touring agency. This is probably subject to some sort of commercial confidentiality thing.

More to come, maybe.

New Improved Font Help Jan 14, 09, 6:47 p.m.

I am looking for something like Bodoni, but maybe a little more vertically compact and perhaps a little less contrast between stroke weights.

My client has shown me a logo that they like that uses Bodoni and I don’t want to just copy it.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Does anybody here have it?

I need to see page 82 – apparently one of my things is on it and I want to confirm. No shops here have it yet.

Thanks.

The US version of the UK series Life on Mars starts here soon. Anyone got any thoughts about how it compares?

Happy New Year QBNers. I’m not the party machine I once was. Sorry.

Yay!

Idiot/n00b email question Dec 17, 08, 3:37 p.m.

I know I could get involved ask some “Comic Book Guy” type on the Apple forums, but since I am sitting right here;

Is there a way I can configure my iPhone’s mail to switch smtp servers dynamically? I mean, if I am at a WI-FI enabled coffee shop or porn cinema and I went to send an email from my work account. It never works.

Am I stupid?

Happy Birthday _salisae_!! Dec 8, 08, 7:35 p.m.

Yay! Happy Birthday! Hope you are getting treated like a queen (or even a king, for that matter).

Kudos to Jaline for pointing out this momentous occasion.

Looks like I may have lost my job Dec 1, 08, 5:07 p.m.

Oh, dear! Looks like I have until mid-February to find another job or become a freelance designer to my current employer. Tough times, I guess.

Metamucil guy Nov 23, 08, 8:08 p.m.

I know this is a really YH thing to do, sorry.

Flash Video Download HELP! Nov 20, 08, 10:38 p.m.

I’m trying to download a video from an online video site (not YouTube) and I’m having no luck. I have tried all the AJAX based sites (VideoDL, etc) and tried FireFox extensions like Flash Video Downloader, but nothing seems to work.

Should this be really easy? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Seeking botbot re: ffffound account Nov 17, 08, 4:13 p.m.

About a year ago, I sent my one-and-only ffffound invite to botbot (last login: 3 weeks ago). In that year, he has added a total of 0 images to that ffffound. I think it’s fair to say he/she was swept up in the mania that was ffffound in those heady days of early December 2007, but that the enthusiasm soon wore off (about 2 minutes after receiving the invite, I would say).

If you are reading this botbot (or moiz, if I may be so bold as to refer to you), I would like that ffffound account back. I have several friends who would be eager to offer up some items by the way of trade or I could also set up an *ahem* NSFW ffffound and call it “Hundy’s Private Select” or something.

Anyways, if anyone knows botbot, please encourage him/her to do the right thing and give me the login and password.

Thank-you for your time.

Copy Count Nov 6, 08, 10:32 p.m.

Have any fuckers in the Marketing industry EVER FUCKING HEARD OF IT?

It’s bad enough that I have to do these shitty corporate newsletters month after agonising month, couldn’t they at least have a cursory glance at how much copy was supplied last time? No! Instead I have to ring them and say “pretty please can you please cut four fifths of this shit out so I can place one of your low-res happy-fucking-snaps?”

Is it just me?

Yet another... font ID Nov 5, 08, 7:21 p.m.

This one is on the tip of my brain. Can someone please help?
