Welcome...
You have found my speck of sand on the beach we call the web. Perhaps you have a reason for being here, or not. But here is where you are.
July 2007 - New Video - Quark Trapping Gotcha!
I took an extended hiatus after my first video, but I'm back now after being stung by a particularly nasty Quark bug that I thought I should share. Go see it now!
I have two now...
I passed my Illustrator CS2 Certified Expert exam Friday, Feb. 17. One more to go for coveted 'Print Specialist' cert. I achieved InDesign certification in December. So, send me money and I'll answer your questions. For all the time and money I've put into it so far, I'm entitled to flash a logo, so here ya go....
RGB Aint CMYK...Prepress for Designers
I've begun my series of video tutorials which attempts to bring some prepress knowledge to designers. This first video explains the differences between RGB and CMYK color, and why RGB is undesirable in any piece destined for print. Click here to see it now! or visit the Prepress area for more cool stuff!
The Original Mission...
To spread the truth about the abomination of an operating sytem called...., wait, oh yeah, I'm over that now. And I don't want to get my ass sued. Once upon a time, OS X really sucked. I still believe it was beta until somewhere around 10.3. If you have to earn a living with macs, you would know that OS X at times has been a little exasperating. But now it rocks, and life is good again.
My goal is to develop my own little CMS, sort of re-inventing the wheel I guess, but it will be my wheel. Having been a web dabbler since 1995, I'm only recently getting a little more serious about standards compliance, database driven sites, xml and the like. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but I'm trying.
What's in it for you?
Not much probably. I have some scripts available that have been implemented here, like the guestbook. I dabble with applescript too, there's a Quark imposition script some might find useful. And there's some code snippets, not necessarily my own, but ones that I have found useful, and if you're a newbie like me you might find them useful too. That's about it. If the rantings of a madman amuse you, check out the blog, also a homegrown php/mysql script. Say something in the guestbook.
