Google’s fade-in, plus bonus keyboard rant

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

This Google fade-in is great! I also liked New Coke, Crystal Pepsi, Windows Vista and can’t imagine why they weren’t successful.

But seriously, I only load up google.com to NOT search. Meaning — for Gmail, Calendar and everything else. To search, I just use the Google Toolbar. So the fade seriously sucks for me.

Working for ABC Embroidery

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Me at ABC EmbroiderySweet! Ronnie at ABC Embroidery hooked up a workstation with a new iMac so I can do his graphics work. Still setting the computer up to meet all my requirements, but now I’m getting a lot of good hands-on experience with it — something that I never had the chance to do while working at Apple (ironic, ain’t it?).

So far, I’m annoyed by several counterintuitive things on Snow Leopard. Hopefully I’ll be able to work it all out before someone dies. The main one is: Illustrator CS4 doesn’t allow opening a file by drag-and-drop onto the application, but Photoshop CS4 does. To be fair, it’s probably an Adobe issue, not an OS issue, but regardless, it’s seriously fucking up my workflow. My quest for a streamlined workflow continues.
