Christchurch Treehouse of Awesome-Where everyone knows your name

I should email the end client and show them their 4 hours they are paying for!

If they had half a brain they could place illustrator content into indesign to get the best of both worlds -_-

Although with the indesign files we used to make plates from we never had a problem with indesign gradients o-o using cs3

[Growler]

plates = smart, with the CMYK breakdown + spots if using a kimiroi or similar type of press, those machines have failsafes and warnings in place.

large format = stupid.

the machines seriously have no fail safe, they literally are do as they feel, font missing, meh who cares i'll show a correct thumbnail but I will print courier, 8 bit gradient, meh I will show it fine, but today I will convert it to 32 bit like I should, but I wont smooth it out for you..... WTF... FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU.

I prefer to remove all chances of fuckups and work direct from ai files to save the clients any 'print required' tweaks.

Harbour of the diamonds.

Yessir!

[Pyromanik]

Today I learnt about webcams. And how they stream in FUCKING JPEGS.

Is it really a web cam if you can't really use it on the web?

[Growler]

Did EQC design it?

[Codex]

lolol my boss at new work has had huge problems with contractors and eqc

They turned up to redo his tiles and said "oh nah we're only going to do half the tiles because that's all we quoted" despite it being one big slab and eqc covering the whole slab

He raged and had eqc and a fletchers derp come sort out their shit o-o

[Pyromanik]

MJPEG
Didn't know such a thing existed.
Basically just a never ending response sending one jpeg after another.


Also, so glad I'm renting.
Landlord has told us stories of dodgy inspectors funneling work to their lesser qualified for the job mates though (mates who don't even want to do the job).
She raged and the guy almost got fired, lol.
We have cracks in our outer wall that they're trying to claim existed before the earthquake. Load of bullshit. Just no clue.

[Codex]

lol we have a hole in our upstairs ceiling where the hot water pipe started leaking after one of the larger quakes.

Our landlord is a fucking retard though

She said she was going to replace the carpet in this place (because it's mega fucked) and that she was sending a 'carpet person' over

Few days later a real estate agent came over 'looking at the carpet' in every room of the house including the garage and back yard, asking about the property for valuation hurrrrr

We're still house hunting to buy and holy shit it's dry at the moment >_>

[Tandoori]

I'm glad I don't have to deal with EQC or Fletchers.
Seems like they've secured a reputation as an unreliable combo, and masters of fuckin' around.

I'm sure they're delivering services to a lot of people in a satisfactory manner, but as yet I'm yet to hear from anyone about such an occurrence.

Heh, now that you mention it, so did my landlord when she told me the story I relayed above.

[Obble]

Meeting gfs mum today, anyone got any tips apart from run the opposite way as fast as i can?

[Zarkov]

That's what your gf will look like at that age.

True.

[Retardobot]

No tips sorry.

Shit's always different. First mum I met via a GF was accidentally bumping in to her when we were at the supermarket.

My current mother in law met me via Skype before me and my partner were off to a ball, so she saw me looking rather dapper.

Just smile and appear to be interested is all I can say.

I like Obble updates.

Don't listen to Zarkov, he's still a virgin.

[Obble]

True.

Thats what my dad says!

@weetardo, its like 40min drive, i seem to be interested m8.

Hah. Fair point.

I have to deal with my inlaws being over protective of their daughter, and of me. Gets overwhelming sometimes.

[Obble]

She said her parents can be overprotective too, because she cant have kids. They think guys are gonna use her for a bit, then be like cy@m8. I dont even know.

[Emrico1]

Just put yourselves in their shoes. They don't want their daughter with some deadbeat.
Just be polite, smile, tell them about your job and where you are from, treat it kind of like a job interview.

Once you have won them with a first impression, crush their hopes and dreams.

[Retardobot]

Morning Tea this morning as a farewell from work. Wasn't expecting a "so, you're leaving us in the lurch then" to be thrown in my face.

Thanks.

Give her a hug and pat her ass and whisper 'not bad, tag team later?' gently into her ear

Thanks.

Geez, that's the kind of attitude that makes you want to stay right?

Classic. Riddance.

[Growler]

sooo..

"Why is my panorama long and skinny"

I FIXED IT! madskillzbrah!

[Zarkov]

Conceal your inner deadbeat.

So what you're saying is that she's a he and you're finally coming out of the closet?  About time, all of GetSome has known for years.

[Pitchey]

Only with women from what I've heard.
