MT Dec 19, 12, 8:41 a.m.

No Media Temple posts yet?? Looks like the entire thing is down (at least for half my sites). No email, no websites, no FTP access.

Woohoo

Minimalist WP Jan 23, 13, 5:27 p.m.

Looking for minimarlist WordPress themes/templates.

Something like this:

http://emilolsson.com/shop/demo/…

One of the best I have seen - looks like a nice portfolio site, not the usual grid/blog/generic look.

iPads for clients (and video) Dec 7, 12, 7:21 a.m.

Giving a client an iPad for a present.

Does anyone know if there is a way to put our video on it without setting up a iTunes account (as it will be handed over to them)?

Is there a way to 'lock' the iPad so the video doesn't get erased when they setup their iTunes on it (assume they'll want to)?

Or is iTunes simply going to make it impossible (and I should sell it, go buy an Android or Windows device?)?

Thanks

FTP and Storage Aug 10, 12, 12:31 p.m.

I've been with MT for ages, 12+ years, I think.

I am finally getting really tired of them being so far behind the competition (this time it is the 100GB limit on the grid service).

Any suggestions for a (very) cheap FTP and/or storage service? Need to transfer/store very large files.

(I'd love to leave MT altogether at this point, but it'll be a process, so something I could use for the large files would make it easier)

Laptop Feb 14, 13, 7:10 a.m.

Looking for a new laptop.

Requirements:

1. Looks decent
2. NO stupid numerical keyboard on right side (my God, why the hell do they all come with this now??! I've never, not once, used mine on my reg keyboard...my bookkeeper uses it. I am not a bookkeeper)
3. Powerful enough for light 3D, video, PS, etc.

15" (don't think i want another 17")

(I love the MacBook quality and screen, but am liking Window's 8 touchscreen functionality. iOS looks so dated, too)

Any suggestions?

D800 or D600 Aug 6, 12, 6:20 p.m.

Rumors are flying about the Nikon D600.

Any thoughts? I just ordered a D800, but am debating waiting.

Thinking out loud....

iOS 6 Photo Importing Nov 8, 12, 10:48 a.m.

Anyone know of a way to sort photos after importing? The last iOS simply organized them by alphabet. Extremely annoying (especially since you can't import subfolders), but it was at least consistent.

I don't want an app to have to go to (though if there was one that could replace Apple's photos, or at least sync with imported files - I don't want to manually organize, I have apps for that)

Suggestions? Quick searches conclude that this is a bug with iOS 6, did they really screw this up to?

Hacked Federal Website Jan 26, 13, 12:23 p.m.

(surprised no one has posted this already)

http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-b…

I am not sure whether I should be scared or what...certainly fascinating...

Photography sites Nov 24, 12, 6:02 p.m.

Looking for basic customizable photography websites.

[getting some weird "Error: Body: your request has been denied..." when I include the details]

Contracts and Changes Nov 16, 12, 7:33 a.m.

What, if any, language do you include with your contracts for design changes (within the original scope)?

Our contract doesn't include any specific and there has never been a problem in many years, but about time to update the contracts.

Thanks

3D and Fashion Photographs Jun 27, 12, 7:35 a.m.

Looking for examples of photographers that combine 3D environments/elements with fashion type photographers.

Something like the work of Erik Almas

Any suggestions?

Email Nov 20, 12, 6:51 a.m.

Looking for suggestions for a good place to host email. I've been using MT for a decade but have been growing increasingly frustrated with them (not to mention they aren't cheap and do not offer unlimited storage).

The regulars (blue, dream, etc.)?

SmugMug...or... Sep 13, 12, 6:42 a.m.

Now that SmugMug has increased their costs dramatically I am finally looking elsewhere.

Any suggestions?

I thought I'd like the 'selling' option, but probably won't ever use it. Just need a professional/minimal site for my photography.

Thanks

Photoviewers Nov 25, 12, 8:06 a.m.

Suggestions for programs to view photos with quickly?

I've always used Windows Photo Viewer, but apparently it can't figure out color profiles and displays everything horribly (and there doesn't seem to a good fix from the pages I've been reading. Photos look correct in everything else from FF to PS).

Thanks

Medical/Technology/Science sites Aug 22, 12, 6 p.m.

Looking for good examples of Medical/Technology/Science sites.

Thanks!

(Yes, already been browsing siteinspire.com, just nothing great yet)

Helvetica Neue Alternatives Apr 22, 13, 7:38 p.m.

Looking for alternatives for Helvetica Neue Thin/Ultra thin. Found a billion, but most don't have the ultra thin option.

Ideally something that I can buy just the thin versions or somewhat reasonably priced
