I ordered this book, and really like what I found. It gets a bit technical, but is written by people in the know. I am working through the tutorials. I think the snowman is very appropriate at this point with the weather we are having!

View on 11/30 – Taking Shape
Here is the view on 11/30. It is so fun to see how it went from being the large “E” to the District Logo. I’m going to ask the marketing department for some graphics, but I need to find out what kind of resolution I need for them first.
Now that is more like it!
I guess I got better being a user, and got my ideas communicated. Here is their new design. What I like is that they have a project management system that generates emails and keeps me up-to-date. It is a great project management tool as well as communication tool that Designing Digitally is using. I really…
My Alter Ego

Hidden Window
In using my Epson Scanner with the Smart Panel, I seemed to have lost the Scanning window that displays all of my scanned documents.

The given assembly name or code base was invalid.
Got this wierd error: Error while trying to run project. Could not load file or assembly…or one of its dependencies. The given assembly name or code base was invalid. Problem solved: There was an apostrophe in the Project name. Removed that — and all fixed!
Time to Tune up your PC
When was the last time you backed up your data, let alone your entire system? What happens if your hard drive crashed tomorrow. How quickly could you recover? Have you considered online backups? offsite backups? any backups? Now is the time to backup your data as if you needed to restore it tomorrow. While I’m…
