.design
Anyone using it yet?
Just bought two very simple domains cheap... will .design be ignored as a URL on biz cards etc? I'm thinking w/ an email address on the card it'll be more apparent... ?
kbr.design
you might skip that by itself... but if you saw kevin@kbr.design the url would make sense... yes?
now i'm all mental... thought I was saving money... now I'm worried I'm just confusing people... :/
- (⊙_☉)OBBTKN
- you are not confusing people, people are already confusedoey
- saving money? how much were the domains? I always thought those new domains cost more moneyz compared to the normal onesmoldero
- kbr.maga wasn't available?kona
- I advised a friend yesterday to go for .com/co.uk before .art for his gallery business. he has a unique domain, so .fancy .tld is just confusing, imodetritus
- yep - those sort of domains are normally a lot more expensive.fadein11
- uber cheap compared to buying the .com versions of what I was looking for (or close to)... $30US / each. Both domain .com versions were in the hundred$PonyBoy
- oh so already taken - got you.fadein11
- Maybe put the wwwset
- not a bad idea, setPonyBoy
- yeah they are appealing but we need Gen Z to come into play for using them.Beeswax

Saw the Pixies last night. They gave a really solid show. As always, zero talking, only a tsunami of songs!
Paz Lenchantin is A1 on the bass, David Lovering is one hell of a drummer and Frank Black is... Frank Black!

Any tips?
I've got this old file from a client that I can't get the original of. It's a web file that needs to be used in a show stand. It's really ropey. How can I create a high res version of it? Clean lines etc.
Sample:
I've tried Index Colours in PS and live trace in illustrator.
- Rebuild by hand in vectorimbecile
- Try ON1 Resize, it enlarges images but is smart enough to recognise and preserve lines and edges to preserve image quality.face_melter
- I bought it for work, but I think there's a 30 day fully-working trial.face_melter
- build a grid over the image, snap to grid, start building shapes, color picker to fill it in. you now have the highest quality version of that image in vector.imbecile
- Thanks guys. I'm on the recreation in AI now.Hayzilla
- Live Trace should be able to handle it, with tweaking.i_monk

2 weeks left to finish my comic propossal for a financing contest, i will need a lot of help and coffee... let's go

Quick Q. I've created a grid with lines in AI. How do I turn all these into solid individual triangles to fill with colours?

My partner's working abroad for a while, and is at her busiest and most chaotic point, so we speak daily around midnight, during which she'll often unload all her day's problems on me, because woman, and because she's all alone. I'm sympathetic — up to around the 17 minute mark, anyway — wherein I kind of need some mote of positivity if there's been none, otherwise it's all a little much.
Anyway, last night i really fucked up — after about 4 minutes I apparently fell completely asleep whilst on the phone, because all I knew was that I felt myself awaken from what felt like the longest slumber, to a more than irate girlfriend shouting at me increduously. I'm guessing I'd snored, or something.
It was the wirdest thing, I had no sense I'd fallen asleep, no particular reason to, and because of how unlikely it all was, I wasn't even particularly apologetic — I mean, it's not like I'd meant to.
Fucking hell, I'm getting old.
- I'm the opposite, I pretend to fall asleep and snore so she gets the messageset
- Nothing like a subject changer than a good audible snoreset

jayzuzzz.... Taylor Swift's music is pure SHIT... fuck me... I thought I had some sort of 'joke' / spoof commercial making fun of pop music playing in the background... ... no... it was this shit... the fucking chorus... the whole thing:
fuuuck... she's making millions off of this kind of shit... lol... C'MONNN
</jealous rant>
- ... I guess there's worse shit that could be on screen and in the ears of our daughters.
I apologize for the angry rant... sortaPonyBoy - me love her long timeGnash
- Face it. Selling shit music is a talent.
You can't even make that money when you make shit music like her.pango - that is really bad and I hate that you made me listen to this Pony. such crap.capn_ron
- you're getting old
she made $1,000,000 a day last yearimbecile - i openly admit my jealousy...

- Oh oh black flag and slayer. Oooh ok thats a diferent story lol.cannonball1978
- Please. Get over yourselves - hating music is the height of teenage wankery. You might understand when your balls drop.face_melter
- lol... face doesn't like his girl being criticized... talk about teenage wankery... have you been fitted for your first bra yet, son? ;)PonyBoy
- (yes... that was a juvenile shot at your masculinity... you can handle it) ;)PonyBoy
- "pure shit" is an overstatement of personal opinion that negates any critique of quality thereafter.imbecile

About to buy a 2017 iMac and trying to decide between 2 different configurations. Will primary be used for Logic Pro X and probably Adobe CC, photo editing, etc. I don't play games and I don't do video work.
Trying to decide between the following:
June 2017 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 with Retina 5K display
8GB of 2400MHz DDR4 memory
1TB Fusion Drive
Radeon Pro 570Vs.
June 2017 3.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 with Retina 5K display
8GB of 2400MHz DDR4 memory
2TB Fusion Drive
FaceTime HD camera
Radeon Pro 580 with 8GB video memoryI'll add aftermarket memory to both to get up to 32GB for cheaper than you can with Apple.
The 3.4 Ghz is about $420 less than the 3.8 Ghz, which has double the drive space, and a better video card.
Keep in mind that my main computer right now is a 2011 MBP with 1TB SSD, and 16GB memory. Either of these iMac configurations is going to be quite a bit more powerful than my MBP, which still works flawlessly.
Can't really decide. I've mainly been wanting one so that i have a dedicated computer for recording, but I can see shifting some of my other interests to an iMac. No doubt that photo editing on it will be incredible compared to my pre-Retina MBP.
- option 2, 3.8GHzimbecile
- always, always always go for the better video card and storage space ... the price difference is worth itmonospaced
- that little extra is like purchasing a full year's extra usability out of itmonospaced
- ^ +1000. what mono saidGnash
- Thanks guys, that's what I figured I should do.mg33
- nice machine btw (once you get that RAM in there)... pony wantPonyBoy
- wat mono saidutopian
- Build a hackintosh instead. I just put a GTX-1060 in mine. All my audio stuff works perfect too. I know people can't be bothered or whatever, but they're easy..section_014
- ... to put together, and can use the app store too. I even setup all my developer crap again just for shits.section_014
- hey section ... can you post your parts list in the Hackintosh thread (do we have one?)monospaced
- the only downside to the Hackintosh is that once you add a 27" 5K retina display, the build is 2X the cost of an iMacmonospaced

fuck...
I have a meeting with a client tomorrow and have to work all night..besides i have to get a accountant/lawyer to help me out by approving my financial plan tomorrow or else I'm fucked...and this is a 8 months work...
a friend just started a facebook chat and started to talk about feeling sad and having suicidal thoughts...and how disappointed she's with herself and life...
very difficult...
I've been really desperate with time the last week...i will stay here talking with her but risking my effort.
i don't even put in question that there's no other way but I just had a major fight yesterday cause of time issues.guess life is full of surprises and establishing priorities and chose to value what's really important in the right moments.
- she's writing stuff like "maybe it's time to quit..." fuck me...oh dear...oey
- I need to roll a joint...it's gonna be a long night.oey
- Tell her to come over and she can hangout while you workHayoth
- uff...that is not possible. she lives in Portugal and I live in Germany. besides, if she would come here working would not be possibleoey
- conversation changed now...but i have to keep track the next daysoey

Thinking of getting a Canon SL2 with a 70-200L to keep in the car. I have other lenses and bodies (5D, XTi, 16-35L, 28mm, 50mm, 85mm) that collection has been used in travel and studio over the years. I think it's time for something more observational and I like features of the SL2 (wifi, touchscreen, viewfinder, video), plus you can't go wrong with another L in the bag.
Thoughts, opinions, alternatives?

Morning world. I'm looking for a link that was posted somewhere of a photographer who did a series on people on the bus through the windows. Anyone?
- ah yes - saw that on Creative Review website - search on there.fadein11
- https://www.creative…fadein11
- Thanks. Not that one unfortunately.
Nice though.Hayzilla - oh no... how many 'people through bus window' projects can there be! :)fadein11
- Not enough! haha. My dad just retired and is doing lots of street photography. He did some similar nice bus shots. Thought it might inspire/humiliate him.Hayzilla

I somehow have a block in how the page design should be when it comes to the navigation through the portfolio of the company...
fuck...I've been surfing websites for three days now...
the client doesn't have any idea how to present his work.
they offer three main services and each of these services has four or five other sub-menus/themes...
some of the work they want to show has between two to three images to display.
awwwards is not helping...hahaha!

talking with my friend again :/
she's telling she's living a battle she doesn't know she can escape from...what the fuck do I do?!
she posted joy division's "she lost control" today in her facebook page and I was like let me talk with you...
every word i write is important...
yesterday we ended talking about relationships.but i can't do this everyday, specially with the distance...
i mean this not because of me but of her.:/
- Call her closest family member and tell them asap. If you think she's serious and you can, go there now. Call a suicide hotline for more guidancemonospaced
- hey mono thanks. i would if i could but i live in germany and she's in portugal. and i don't have any family contact. she's at her mother'soey
- i don't think she's gonna do it but she's in this spiral of thoughts taking anti-depressives and telling me maybe it's time to quit this battle...oey
- can you poach her family on FB since she is posting on there? someone who does know her family?capn_ron
- i think she's in the process of measuring the hypothesis. don't know.oey
- she's very disappointed with life but she's a fucking fighter she's gone through a lot.oey
- She can't lay it only on you. Talk to her and straight up ask if she has family around and maybe even say you're concerned. It's not easy.monospaced
- I've had to make calls before with people I love on the edge. I hope you can get her to the people she needs, even if it's professionals.monospaced
- thanks mono. had a good talk today. i'll call her tomorrow. she thanked me for listening. reading actually.oey
