I need to rent a good movie... Any suggestions? Dec 23, 08, 8 a.m.

Something slightly comedic would be great, perhaps along the lines of the Big Lebowski? I think I'm going to take this day for myself and have a few bowls and some popcorn.

ps. If your curious I have a slightly outdated delicious library up online - http://hiimerik.com/library/movi…

Simple, classy, handwritten fonts... Dec 4, 08, 8:04 a.m.

I'm looking for a casual handwritten font; particularly looking for something smooth as though the author took their time putting down their thoughts on paper... with a ball point pen.

I'm designing a poster where upon a hemp plant writes to humans and aside from the obvious stoner jokes I need this to come across as somewhat classy.

Introducing product to Canada... Nov 21, 08, 8:17 a.m.

I am working on a project for school which requires me to introduce a product into Canada and create an integrated marketing campaign for it.

I'm doing research on products, but I was wondering if any qbn'ers would have some suggestions on fun or whacky products that come from abroad and might not be available in North America/Canada.

Any help is much appreciated. cheers.

LogMeIn [remote connection suggestions] Oct 9, 08, 7:08 a.m.

Anyone tried using this service?

I've been having troubles setting up DynDNS services and was wondering if this was a feasable solution to provide remote access to a set of computers stuck behind a router I do not control...

I just want to be able to connect using a VNC client so I can help my folks with some tech problems....

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

Joomla vs. Drupal Aug 21, 08, 9:48 a.m.

So I am trying to decide whether to setup Joomla or Drupal as a CMS for this website that has been running for ten years without any cms system in place, in fact they use blogger for the blog. I know.

Anywho, does anyone like coding templates for these systems? Which would you think is the most straightforward templating system, I really am looking for a way to use a variety of templates built using css, xhtml and javascript which would change depending on category of the published materials.

If you got any advice that would be great!

Freelance Contracts Jul 10, 08, 3:46 p.m.

I have been working for a few years doing freelance work and I have not been very good at having contracts prepared for projects...

I know that it's not too smart but so far I havent been burned to many times, although once should be enough right?

Anyways do any of you have any good resources out there on where to find contracts that I can use for my own practice?

I know that I could get a lawyer to draft something up but I am a student and my tuitions are hard to pay as is, that being said I do realize you should pay for such pieces of paper I just dont want to waste time and money looking in the wrong places.... I hope I made a valid statement here I'm not trying to sound like a cop out.

Thanks.
