Some things don't need to get reinvented, when experience, or research helps you find an answer (S101). New and original solutions can be developed, but often times, wiser heads have got there, and made it standard, or even regulation. Got reported today by a safety elf, because I didn't have...

“what about this wheel thingy? It sounds a terribly interesting project.” “Ah,” said the marketing girl, “well, we’re having a little difficulty there.” “Difficulty?” exclaimed Ford. “Difficulty? What do you mean, difficulty? It’s the single simplest machine in the entire Universe!” The...

I'm currently a one man shop in a larger (still small) organisation. I send quotes, using a home brewed FileMaker solution. For the last year, I've been trying to find time to update the system, so that I can take the quote>active>complete>invoice>payment>accounting software to an automated one...

If your supplier of smart knives is Harry, I hope you were sitting down, and had a fresh pot of coffee to hand. It would be quick enough to apply the app tape on the laminator, but could be a pig to remove the individual stickers from it. Could use low tack app tape, and then run the premask...

Long day?

I spend 3% of my working life helping folks printing in colour darkrooms. Jumping from RGB to CMY thought processes - reminds me of a day, decades ago while doing C&G747 in the darkroom printing both colour negs *and* transparencies. Easy to slip into the wrong correction.

That was my secondary (mid ?) school musical, and Sandy was a peach.

Now, if he'd stolen my mojito...

My bad - I haven't actually had to do this, but as said sounds (un)fun.

(Late) Client was old enough to be my grandmother (and I'm the wrong side of 50), but a lovely lady who enjoyed the finer things in life (of which I'm certainly not one).

Sounds fun to install.

Them cores, boxes, and plastic sleeves and roll holders are worth hoarding (a moderate percentage of).

Tile it as above, but if they want it in one string, calculate the cost based on 36"x50', and quote accordingly

Ah, I believe you've just hit the key word against which your founding fathers fought against.

A handsome four course meal with several fine wines, which explains why I can not remember the details of what I ate. But it was probably the most expensive meal I've ever had the pleasure eat.

Strangely, I'm seldom short of Glenmorangie, even though I'd never bought a bottle. Best tip on an exhibition production job was a couple of half cases of veuve cliquot. One client would always ask me if I could join her for lunch, when she'd come in to sign prints for a show, or a customer...

Just been on a site visit for the production area in our new facility, and have met a subtle curve ball. Turns out I'm not looking at sealed polished concrete, but rather concrete with undulations up to 15mm, though this potentially isn't the worst issue. The floor drops 150mm over 6metres...

Just like the picture of the "food" on the burger van
