Uh accidental butt dialed an old coworker today who I haven’t talked to in two years and then they called me back then texted me when I didn't answer so I had to invent a conversation.

It's amazing how much time it takes to prepare just simple presentations.
Exporting designs and layouts, importing into Keynote and arranging things.
I guess there's no real way to automate the process as you still need to place and layout things in Keynote as well.
But does anyone have any suggestions anyway?
- Apparently some InDesign plugin exists that allows you to do slide notesHayoth
- In sketch: select all your artboards, copy paste into Google Slides. Probably works on keynote.********

Why is Bindegal bumping old threads?
- bored maybehans_glib
- we have 2 trump threads :)renderedred
- 2nd account of a troll methinks.fadein11
- oh, i see :) two accnts with same namerenderedred
- ? not sure about that, more likely one of our users who post under multiple accounts. Looks like we have another QBN meltdownfadein11
- incoming, they do seem to be seasonal.fadein11
- or how does one certify one self? :)renderedred
- you've been here long enough to know how it works ;)fadein11
- It seems far too diverse and in-depth in some places to be a hack or troll. He's just lost the plot.Hayzilla

Pretty sure I saw these guys when I was in San Francisco lately. The group was hauling ass, I couldn't believe how fast they were riding on the streets with traffic. I like the board I don't know about that solo wheel thing.
Here's a couple shots I took:
I wonder if I'd split my noggin open doing this.
- The solo wheel thing looks a bit naff when riding it. I really would like to get a onewheel (onewheel.com). The PINT is their new affordable entry level one.microkorg
- I had a Mellow Drive attached to an old school skate deck over a year ago, motorised skateboards on scottish pavements or roads! forget it!microkorg
- Going 20mph then hitting a little crack or stone and you're fuct! The onewheel sails across shit like that and you can even go over grass, gravel etc.microkorg
- Another video review said they come with two different sizes of wheels. The bigger would work in thoseHijoDMaite

I just muched an entire pack of fuit pastilles, and they were all black, bar the two outer ones, which were red.
I don't know whether to feel elated, or cheated.
- Perhaps this was a ploy to get me to post this on relevant social networks, but alas for them, I posted on QBN.Nairn

I posted some images on this old “Cameras” thread and it never showed up on the topics bar. Did someone disable bumping old threads?

Did YouTube just add little animated previews on hover, or have I never noticed them?

Had a phone interview with potential employer who clearly didn't look at my portfolio before the chat and asked me to describe a recent project and my role in it.
- Working from a script.i_monk
- they definitely looked at your portfolio ... the question is about how you speakmonospaced
- Entirely possible the interviewer didn't but the person who picked you as a candidate did. Larger places have that disconnect.i_monk

Scorcese and Coppola said some completely insignificant boring shit about comic book movies being like theme parks. Which is absolutely true.
Seeing the internet blow up and calling them jealous hacks, overrated grumpy old men etc.... I dunno, it's all just another giant stinking shit that we are truly living in an idiocracy. Guys. Comic book movies. This is the highest achievement of American cinema apparently. Cool.
- <spl33nidoru
- Coppola hasn't made a good film in 35yrs. He can shut the fuck up. LOL.Hayzilla
- it is an interesting debate though. Things have flipped, B movies are now essentially the money spinners. It can all be traced back to Jaws though, one of thefadein11
- first B movie blockbusters (if not the first). What's funny is a lot of America's true great directors cut their teeth on Roger Cormanfadein11
- (the king of B movies) films. Scorsese being one of them. Some B movies like Jaws are now considered masterpieces (I agree) but will the same be said aboutfadein11
- Infinity Wars etc. ? Decent but masterpiece. I think the directors of the 70's / 80's juggle art vs commerciality a lot better.fadein11
- but masterpiece? *fadein11
- Yeah, adults read Harry Potter, comic movies treated like great cinema. Dumb people who hate being challenged love this shit********
- Also lol at people who argue "but look how much money it made!" As though profit is the metric of quality. Luuuulz********
- These comic book movies are mind numbing. So boring. People who think they're good are just simpltons.********
- It's like my girlfriend trying to convince me that the latest romcom is good. She wouldn't do that though, at least romcom fans know they're watching trash!!!********
- True it's a fun conversation, and has been one since Spielberg delivered the first 'blockbuster' with Jaws.inteliboy
- But this seems less of a conversation, more about grown adults getting angry about anyone dismissing their precious marvel movies.inteliboy

15 years later, I still miss Google's old feature where you could open a cached version of the page with your highlighted search words
- http://webcache.goog…uan
- how to have highlighting on by default -- when opening cached pages from search results?drgs
- I miss when Google didn't substitute the things you search for with synonyms and what it assumed you meant, and then show you results without your terms.i_monk
- results are highlighted in yellow, at least in chrome.uan

So what's the deal here Bindegal. You look through GIF sites, find ones you like then look for the corresponding thread on QBN to post them? Must be exhausting.

Office people are sending me more and more .PNG files lately to print. Dunno why they're all shifting to PNG instead of the JPG they used to send before... PNG is not a good file format for printing.
- why not?uan
- it's losless, just more bites.uan
- 'cos it's hard to work out what the intended resolution is - PNGs are screen res, and that's that. Reminds me: Need to add 'no PNGs please' to my site!Nairn
- The rip of my large format printer sees PNG as 300"x500" file when they're actually 3x5" for example.Bennn
- PNGs were invented for the web, not for print.Bennn
- yeah because PNG can't store dpi info like jpg or tiff, also it's actually untagged RGB (sRGB) so good luck with the conversion.sted
- Are they still embedding them in Word files?i_monk
- Not even sure how rgb/cmyk translatesrobotron3k
- open and save in ps. ps will count the pixels and write the resolution into file's metadata. use save as.. (save for web, export as will not write the metadata)uan
- And what if they set up the size incorrectly in the first place? Sure, there are workarounds that can use guesswork, but why's that required in the first place?Nairn

- good grief... how the fuck are some of you in business w/the amount of misinformation delivered in these comments? :/PonyBoy
- such as?Nairn
- PonyBoy can you climb down from that fucking high horse and start making constructive comments?sted
- You realise people send PNGs at THEIR screen res, which could be 72, 96, 144 or whatever ppi they're working to, with no concept of what that relates to?Nairn
- and, perhaps, some of us work in different domains to each other, so our respective experiences vary?Nairn
- I think he was referring to uan's comment :)sted
- I doubt you regularly work in 600dpi. I do, all day, every day. Now, did naive client send their file at what resolution, relative to mine?Nairn
- PNGs are shit for anything other than the purely digital and screen-based.Nairn
- if it's saved via native save in an app like ps it can store the resolution bits, otherwise it's 72 by default.sted
- https://www.w3.org/T…sted
- First - if folks are sending you shit files... write back and explain what you need / why what they sent is garbage. SEcond - PNG's can be converted like...PonyBoy
- .. any other 'raster' image. They most certainly can be 300dpi (or higher) and be converted / saved in whatever color profile you please.PonyBoy
- If you're getting screen caps that are shit PNGs then you need to have a discussion w/your client... not QBN. <3PonyBoy
- PNGs are FINE for whatever the fuck you want them to be... as long as they were saved in the resolution / profile you need. Again - lots of disinformation here.PonyBoy
- *gallops away
:)PonyBoy - PNGs have their on-screen purpose (as sted is showing you via that w3.org link)... you can manipulate the shit out of them w/script etc...PonyBoy
- ... hex values hold up etc. they for sure are for screen. BUT—it also depends on the info saved in the file you've received. Any 'raster' can be converted...PonyBoy
- ... it just comes down to the data you're beginning with. PNG, JPG, Tif etc... if you have a file w/a ton of data to work with you can convert to what you needPonyBoy
- Again - hit up your client if it's 72dpi and 3" x 3"... if you got that file as a JPG or a TIF at the size you're just as fucked.PonyBoy
- haha only thing your forgot is the compression. Png is similar to gif but ... what 8 bit for the alpha?... got the 8 which is shit and 24.. regardless good for********
- transparency but not photos. jpg compression for photos with lots of pixel data. png a poor mans pdf/svg.********
- I've always avoided them like the plague but in the last year I've looked at two of my designers artwork recently...Hayzilla
- ... and was alarmed by the amount of rgb photos and PNGs they use. Their finished product has always looked good though. I'm as confused as you.Hayzilla
- I'm with PonyBoy on this one. Either make it work (ask what size the print is) or ask for different files. Also, "png a poor mans pdf/svg" is the stupidest shitmonospaced
- Good God, do you really think neither of us have thought of that? All this time, and I could've just asked clients to resend files?!
*slaps forehead*Nairn - Were you talking to me? LOL, yeah, you said that too. Calm down. :) Just agreeing.monospaced
- Good god!!PonyBoy

I'm creating a style guide for someone.
What do you call the version of a logo for a company to use on social media etc. as a profile picture. I thought it might be an 'avatar' version maybe? Basically a small version to go in a little circle on the web.

Just back from the Post Office. When I walked in there was a customer being argumentative with one of the women working in there. I gen myself up for a confrontation, because yeah, I'm a fucking hero*. She's looking throughly pissed off. When I get to the front of the queue to speak to the other woman in there I mouth "is everything ok?", looking askance at the guy and she smiles and explains that the guy's a regular and is always like this. I recognise him - he works in a shop a few doors along. Stand down machostations, Nairn. Lady I'm dealing with says to the guy - "Hey, our bodyguard's here - you better watch out!" and then - and bear in mind, she's Sri Lankan, English not her first language - "he's a double black man!". Whut? but fuck yeah, I'll take it, because now I'm a double black man.
She meant black belt, but that's not stopped me. Old Nairn is gone, now there's new Double Black Man Nairn on the block.
Watch out, world.

I freelance now and saw a few days gig being offered. They responded quickly and asked my rate. I told them and they said they'd check their budget. And came back saying they only had $15/hr.
I refused that but then I spend the day doing nothing.
I know it's not good to accept so little but $500 is $500.
- Dont devalue yourself or what you do.eryx
- Money up front and just knock it out. No shame in it. Unless you have some personal projects or just life to be had. If its really wasted time than you are********
- the one losing out because a sense of pride. And you know what they say time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.********
- and the next thing you be finding your self saying "i dont offer blowjobs but 10 bucks is 10 bucks"pango
- Good point. If it is a $500 gig and will take 2 or 3 days then that's an option. Let them know what the budget will get them.eryx
- omg deathboy, nothing is worth only $15 an hour!monospaced
- It would take three full 8 hour days to get to $500. If time is money it’s worth more than that shit. That isn’t even my half day rate.monospaced
- haha mono pouring coffee is worth less than 15. but value is what ne will pay and one will accept. this is an "economy"********
- value is objective and one value has no merit or base on other parties trading value. capt wow econ 101********
