I think you all really need to take a step back and think for a moment what truly constitutes "Pic of the Day" and "Vid of the Day" material. Honestly, it's lacking and utter shite. lol.

And trollers. You aren't trolling nearly hard enough. I remember back in the day one simple inflammatory post would generate 200+ comments and raise everyones blood pressure. You could almost hear people screaming at their computers.

Overall the community is shit. No comradery, no reach arounds, meetups are a thing of the past. WTF happened to this place? I feel like it's the Delta house from Animal House after Dean Wormer puts them on double secret probation.

Step it up bitches.

That is all.

Where's my oxygen mask and depends. Fuck you. Stay off my lawn.

OUT! Just before leaving the house I switched coats and I walked out the door with my keys in the pocket of my other coat. FUCK! I'm sitting in the stairwell of our condo contemplating kicking the door in. Fuck fuck fuck. This will teach me to get another key made and give it to the neighbor.

ouch Jul 28, 11, 3:21 p.m.

stabbed in the back twice today.

first: we reviewed some wireframes a week ago and i was arguing hard for some changes that would improve functionality. the ia was on my side and we were battling it out with the strategy department. a week later the owner sees the wires, he sees the errors and has a talk with strategy. he calls me in and literally uses my argument against me. turns out strategy made it sound like i was running with the wires and made the decisions, then used my argument to improve them. wtf.

second: two weeks ago we have a client in to review some creative. i say "hey, i took your photo and had to flip it for blah blah reasons. the logos are backwards and i noticed that in a similar photo you guys did the logos were removed. what do you want me to do?" and they said "it's fine. they're so small anyways no one will notice". so today they're at their event getting lambasted for the logos being backwards, shit is hitting the fan here and the project manager, account manager and client all seem to forget that conversation ever took place. i'm getting shit on for the error. wtf.

these are the people i have to work with...

Poster Printing Jan 31, 08, 1:06 p.m.

Hey. I have an image of a photograph illustrated and I'd like to get it printed out poster size. Does anyone know of a good place that will allow me to upload the file, get it printed at a somewhat large size then ship it back? I found two places and they kinda seem shaddy. I want nice quality on good stock ya know.

Thanks in advance.

norman rockwell May 10, 08, 8:13 p.m.

a buddy of mine just bought a house and i stopped over with a case of house-warming goodness. the house i guess is 80+ years old and has only had one owner. it's kind of in bad shape, shitty wallpaper, old fixtures... whatever. so we're kicking back some beers and decide to check out the attic to see how bad of shape it's in. i pull down the stairs and take a peak to find it's filled with junk. or so at least on first glance until we started going through shit.

i pull this out of a maroon velvet bag...

i didn't get a photo of it but a bit later i found some vintage louis vuitton luggage stored away under some blankets. it's a fucking goldmine up here! haha. ps. beers and vintage shit are awesome.

thanks.

Inforgraphics help Mar 5, 12, 3:15 p.m.

Howdy QBN,
I'm looking for someone who specializes in infographics working in the Chicagoland area. We have a project here that we need a little assistance with. We're printing some signage for internal use at a 40"x27" size. If you're interested shoot me an email and we'll talk. This is a paid freelance project btw. Thanks!

waa waaaaa Dec 17, 10, 9:32 a.m.

LANDesk Agent Dec 22, 08, 2:32 p.m.

was just installed on our apple computers by the i.t. department. their reasoning was so that they could push software updates and patches to us. also giving them the ability to test the patches/application/update before it's pushed out. i'm sorry... apple already pushes out updates quite well via their own software updater.

it also just so happens a 1tb drive is now running on his desk the very same week they activated landesk on our machines.

i was born at night but not last night... this is being used to track our machines eh?
