Junket or Learning? Jun 19, 08, 10:18 p.m.

Work says there is only budget for me to go on a junket OR a learning course.

The junket is a tech-ed expo in a different state, flying business class, 5 star hotel and all meals and drinks inc for 4 nights.

The learning is a 5 day microsoft sharepoint design course here in my city (classroom learning). We use sharepoint a fair bit here for intranet sites etc.

engage new brand rollout May 29, 08, 7:07 p.m.

I keep getting asked to deploy sites to the production server and rollout new brand guidelines.

What they mean is upload the site onto the web.

WTF's with all the geek speak lately, I'm not a client, don’t make it sound harder than it is.

Anyone else getting a load of unnecessary lingo lately?

dashboard widgets... Apr 28, 08, 6:33 a.m.

Post your dashboard. Fun seeing who's got what.

Maybe scale to 60% to cut down file size.

DIY Macbook stand Mar 25, 08, 12:33 a.m.

I would like to build a timber Macbook Pro stand to save room on my desk and help keep the thing cool when I am using it as a desktop with external monitor/mouse/keyboard. I have put an illustration together below to demonstrate what I have in mind.

My question is: will the optical drive accept disks properly when stood up on a stand like this or will it break the drive?

Cant consentrate! Feb 14, 08, 6:22 a.m.

My wife popped out our new baby girl two days ago and I cant concentrate on work at all. Should I hand-ball my work off to other dudes and just go home for a few weeks?

Kind of not fair on the clients, I'm so fidgety and distracted.

Audio Software Jan 23, 08, 11:34 p.m.

I'm looking for some basic audio software for chopping up some audio into smaller pieces. Dont mind paying, needs to work on pc, any ideas?

Quicktime pro isnt accurate enough, and pro tools is way too over kill. Dont mind paying for a cheap small audio app.

Working in Sweden Jan 5, 08, 8:45 a.m.

I have been doing some research on working in Sweden but haven't been able to find much information on salaries.

What does a general web designer make over there? I know it depends on location etc but I'm just after ball park averages.

I also know my folio isnt strong right now but I work for a large multinational company and I can present a decent folio in person.

Still learning Swedish but would need a English speaking job to start, do they exist? My wife is Swedish and I have English passport so a three month contract would be what I would look for.

And links or info would be greatly appreciated.

Inspiration Nov 21, 07, 4:54 p.m.

Have had a few branding jobs come in and I'm struggling to get the last set of concepts out as I only want to present strong ideas.

Anyone got any inspirational links to fight the brain fatique? Where do people surf these days, k10k, dik, bd4d, uilab, surfstation, uailab?? Cant seem to find the plentiful link gold that I used to...

Selling photos online Nov 13, 07, 3:26 a.m.

A few people have approached me about buying photographs from me over the last few months so I have decided to put a basic site up. I will only be selling like 50-60 photos at a time so I didn't think it was worth creating a full e-commerce monster.

Any feed back though would be much appreciated as now I'm thinking the site might be a bit toy?

I know this has been covered in here before but no search results are coming up.

Best size for screen design?

Any good in Illustrator?

Any type recommendations?

Getting sick of drawing on paper then scanning then re drawing in Illy.

Haha, you're branding yourself a visionary...

Invites for friends. May 2, 07, 4:38 a.m.

Is it lame to put invitations designed for friends in your folio?

These tend to be the more creative print jobs (and worst paid jobs) for me as my job is very corporate and most of the work I do can't be shown online as it's all internal confidential information.

Any thoughts?

Hand guns? Feb 16, 07, 6:36 p.m.

Does anyone here have a hand gun?

Do any of you have carry permits and take them with you when you go on a road trip or photography mission etc?

The reason I ask is I found out that a lot of US photographers I talk to online do take them when they go out photographing.

Sub $100 Headphones Jan 15, 07, 9:50 p.m.

I'm looking for a new set of sub US$100 headphones.

They need to be closed/circumaural (over the ear) for me to crank at work without annoying other workmates...

I have been looking at these
