  1. hacked emails

    How do you know if your email has been spoofed? On a daily basis I get emails from previous customers with links to get rich schemes, viagra, bank logins, etc. Obviously they were not sent by them but it appears that way. Annoying yes, but other than your recipient telling you is there a way...

  3. Not sure on this one

    looks like Nephew art
  4. finding better art

    It is in Firefox too. Not a browser issue, make sure you click on the images part of google not just the default google homepage. I have much better success with this versus Tineye and I previously used Tineye and was looking for a better solution
  5. finding better art

    When I do that it just opens up the image in my browser
  6. finding better art

    often a customer will send art that is far from ideal. There is a little known function at google image search that will try to find a better version of the same image. Just click on the google image tab and upload your art by selecting the camera icon located on the right side and let it do...
  7. Lame excuses for not getting paid

    I have gotten conflicting info regarding this. I am the only one with access to the cards. I know that if I have to call the customer for every job or they have to call me i would have to raise prices significantly. Not worth it for under $20 jobs. i tried this before and most customers were...
  8. Lame excuses for not getting paid

    I have a few that pay by check or many use paypal. For some I do the job and bill them afterwards. They can be slow to pay or in some cases not at all.
  9. Lame excuses for not getting paid

    We all deal with late and non-payments. Thankfully I don't have too many. I would post a few but want to avoid upsetting anyone who could be reading this as I am not anonymous So what is the worst excuse you have ever received for not getting paid at all or on time?
  10. Do you have a dog in your shop?

    Here is my "beast". No shedding and very clean. No dander or fur, actually like human hair. Maltese are good for people with allergies, bad if you don't watch where you are walking. He is all of 3 pounds and 5 months old Here he found a new item to sleep in.
  11. 3 Nights work..now File Format Not Supported!

    do you have any autobackups of the file? I have had success using Time Machine on a Mac. I am not sure if there is an equivalent program on Windows.
  12. phone etiquette

    I have noticed this recently... When i talk to customers on the phone I always feel like they are interrupting me or talking over me. Is this becoming more commonplace? Or is there a delay in cell phones that causes this and not so much on land lines? I try to give the caller a chance to...
  13. Thinking of taking the plunge and getting away from Corel

    if you can swing both that is the way to go. There are many effects in illustrator that don't convert very well when saved as an eps and imported into Corel and vice versa. Just because Corel can produce an eps does not mean it will open up properly in Illustrator and is easy to edit If you are...
  14. ESP? this happens quite often for me

    Happens to me quite frequently. Some customers that I have not heard from in 1-2 years that I think about and then they order soon after I also notice the clock at 11:11 or 1:11 about 4-5x per week
  15. eBay...

    Reminds me too of the new Microsoft logo. Simple shapes/letters that are easy to read. No embellishments are the directions they are going
  16. Computer: always on or shut down each day?

    Has anyone here had their computers or other equipment fried by a close or direct hit from an electrical storm? I usually play it safe and disconnect but sometimes when working on important jobs i take my chances.
  17. Hello from Ohio

    Welcome fellow Ohioan
  18. Digitizing Needed

    sometimes digitizing refers to embroidery. I don't provide that service as it does require proprietary software
  19. Computer: always on or shut down each day?

    On my Mac I typically have many programs running at one time. 22 right now so selecting one at at time and shutting down takes forever and clicking on "shut down" from the menu takes ages as the OS shuts down the programs one by one. If one program hangs for whatever reason it cancels the shut...
  20. Computer: always on or shut down each day?

    What kind of wear and tear during sleep/hibernate mode? My desktop and laptop are hibernating when not in use and monitors are also shut off. I am not yet on SSD so I don't enjoy the benefits of fast boots. Next question... if you do shut down is it better to close all programs one by one...
