Top Ten Innovations of Prepress 1980-2010

January 4, 2010

So this idea of a blog post was bubbling around in my head for a least a couple of weeks, maybe more:  I thought it would make a nice end-of-the-decade summary. Plus, it would be easy to write. After all, there has been a lot of innovation in prepress over the last 30 years, n’est-ce [...]

The Blog as Newspaper

December 27, 2009

Hyperlocalblogger has an entry on how to turn your blog into a printable newspaper. The company is called zinepal.com and it looks like it caters to blogs that focus on small communities or areas – which makes sense. Suppose you have a blog or web site and your target audience is 2000 to 20000 people [...]

Nostalgia Time! The CreoScitex Weight-loss Program

December 18, 2009

Allan dug this up. Not much has changed. I’m still fat ’cause I’m busy looking after 3 kids and don’t have time to exercise. Allan is still thin because he’s a Daddy too looking after a couple (I think it’s a couple but I may have lost track).
Worthwhile to watch because it’s filmed at the [...]

December 17, 2009

Hey, it looks like they hired my in-laws from Alberta to work as security guards at Ben-Gurion airport. I didn’t know they were Jewish.

If Adobe Ran the Internet (PDF vs. HTML)…

December 10, 2009

…Well, for one thing, I might have blogged more this month. As it is, I have spent most of December looking at HTML tags and CSS (cascading style sheet) declarations.
Good grief, how does anything look nice on the web with this crap acting as the glue? But wait, I’m getting ahead of myself, let’s start [...]

Company Christmas Parties

December 4, 2009

The first company Christmas parties I attended were held by a grocery store chain. I worked my way through university stocking shelves at night for four years (I don’t recommend doing that, it was murder on the gradepoint average, as I had a tendency to fall asleep in the lectures).
Groceries guys are smart when it [...]

Another failed library import…

December 4, 2009

Yeah. All…week… long. I’ve been trying to import a printer supply catalogue into the blog. The test run worked. The import command worked fine on another blog. But it doesn’t behave when I run it full-bore on the blog and stay off the front page.
