I should've also thought of something to say.

This will have to do.

Fancy Business Card $? Mar 8, 11, 4:19 a.m.

Say you've designed cards for yourself or a client, and you've employed a wee bit of fancy in there.

Perhaps a fancy print process, an emboss or a die cut — maybe a fold, an interesting substrate.. whatever. Just something to make it stand out a little more than a typical white rectangle.

What sort of unit cost would you expect is tolerable for a 'fancy' business card?

Thankingyous!

Cheque Processing Fee Feb 24, 11, 8:29 a.m.

I've just been warned that a client will likely try and pay with a [fucking] cheque.

I'm kind of stumped at how retarded this is, but anyway.

I want to add a provision to my invoice stating something along the lines of "Payments by cheque are subject to an additional £x handling fee".

Anyone else do this? There's nothing 'wrong' with it as such, is there? Legally. I mean (in the UK)?

I'd rather they just paid via bank transfer like everyone else does in the 21st Century.

Fucking cheques.

Eventbrite alternatives? Feb 18, 11, 6:49 a.m.

Hi there —

I'm researching this for a client and am just wondering if there are any alternatives out there — preferably ones you might have used and would be able to recommend?

If not — do any of you have any feedback (negative or positive) about EventBrite?

Sorry for being vague — I'm not really very familiar with this yet!

My thanks to you for any light you can shed.

Is it just me, or does the 'personalised retargeting banner' model not make any sense whatsoever?

How it works — you search for a product on a Criteo-partner site, and then for weeks after, banner adverts for the fucking thing you've already seen are injected into myriad irrelevant sites thereafter.

I've just had an advert for wooden cabinet handles pop up on 'myjewishlearning.com'.

i searched, and decided aginst, the fucking things two months ago — yet everywhere I look, the fucking things are reädvertised to me.

As a result, I've decided to fuck-off ever looking for anything on the B&Q website again. ScrewfixDirect it is from now on.

I just don't get it — why advertise to me what I've already looked at? Surely after searching for a product, most people have either bought it or found an alternative?

</ pointless rant>

Restaurant Booking? Dec 7, 10, 6:49 a.m.

Looking around for online table booking / table-preördering (with a payment) options for a couple of websites.

In my mind I imagine I could use a single-product 'eCommerce solution' for the paid-for option, but just wondering whether any of you lot have come across any more elegant snippets of code or solutions?

PHP or API'd I guess, ideally?

My thanks in advance for any useful feedback!

'Window Glue' for Retail? Nov 15, 10, 4:23 p.m.

I'm looking for some kind of adhesive solution for elements of a retail display—I want to stick flat pieces on the inside of a window, but don't want the adhesive to detract from the finish, as seen from the outside. Normally I stick things to walls, so it doesn't matter what the adhesive 'looks like'.

Any thoughts? I don't know what to search for :\

My thanks to you if you can assist!

Kuler vs. Illy Oct 11, 10, 8:33 a.m.

nngh.

Why would Kuler and Illustrator's 'Color Guide' offer up different colours when supposedly applying the same derivation rules?

Why? Is it just to spite me? To befuddle and confuse me?

Is it just that I am a retard and am somehow doing something fundamentally wrong?

Why?

WHY? WHY THE FUCK, WHY?!

And whilst I'm having a quick Illy bitch - WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I TURN OFF DOCK SHRINKING WIDGETRY? I USE TWO SCREENS - I NEVER WANT TO SHRINK A PALETTE WINDOW WHEN I INADVERTANTLY CLICK THE HEADER BIT.
