  1. I knew it had to end.

    Finally gave in and got a snow blower this year, so far...no snow. By this time last year my back was broken in about 12 places from all the shoveling.
  2. For anyone looking for a good backup solution

    Synology is pretty much the class of the industry right now along with Qnap (Cisco uses Qnap hardware rebranded at this level). Here's a good resource: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/ Drobo is much more targeted to the "plug n' play" market for sure, they sponsor photography/design conventions...
  3. For anyone looking for a good backup solution

    Untrue again :), for example my mdadm RAID 6 is software raid (...mdadm...) and is controller independent. The type of RAID is not what determines whether or not your RAID is controller dependent what determines that is the controller setup. Most good commercial solutions sidestep this issue as...
  4. Anyone want to join and barter?!

    Quoting yet another person on the forums putting it in public that they're a tax cheat. Cheers :toasting: As for bartering itself...I'll barter with you by exchanging my goods and services for tokens which can be exchanged for your goods and services. For convenience let's use the tokens known...
  5. Mobile Sign Company Anyone?

    A few guys used to do that at the track here but they're all going under lately, not as much bored money around the tracks + more sophisticated graphics being demanded by the market.
  6. Tonight we Caucus

    Very patriotic. The concept of an independent US of A was formed in pubs. :toasting:
  7. Tonight we Caucus

    I'd be drinking too if I was at a GOP caucus, especially this year. By the way Fred doesn't want politics on the forums, might want to ask if the thread is okay.
  8. For anyone looking for a good backup solution

    a) Don't use RAID 1, use RAID 5 at minimum b) Good commercial NAS solutions are all linux or bsd based with robust networking support you could easily use 3rd party commercial software backup solutions with them just as you indicate for additional ghosting or workstations or whatever c) You...
  9. Making Decisions - Banners we Offer

    I meant business night classes so you can price product effectively. Be aware that design is a lot different than banner painting or cut vinyl but that's another thread (there's one like this in the design forum right now!). It's easy to lose your *** in a sign shop if you aren't pricing...
  10. resize graphics to use on wall

    You're correct but using software such as Perfect resize you can get away with upscaling for many applications (I usually don't recommend above 400%). It's impossible to say if the OP has a shot without seeing the image as image content is very important when considering how badly upscaling will...
  11. Switching from diecut to printed wraps... Design help needed

    Good post, training your eye is a huge part of becoming a designer and one many think they can skip. I ended up liking art history classes so much I got a bachelor's in it and is has influence on every project I undertake as a designer. Especially in signage, where historical reference and...
  12. How about that TIM TEBOW?

    M. Flynn 31/44 480 10.9 6 1 136.4 T. Tebow 6/22 60 2.7 0 1 20.6
  13. This is why gov entities suck!

    Haha seriously. This isn't even a bad rule either it makes complete sense to have any vehicle being used for business marked as such. NOOOOO NOT MORE EASY CUT VINYL JOBS I'M ONLY A SIGN SHOP :ROFLMAO:
  14. Making Decisions - Banners we Offer

    How about you? Would you open a product business without understanding basic product pricing? That would make me feel pretty bad. I'm good though, thanks for asking. :goodpost: Suz run a search for "pricing" in the title, sort by threads with comments of at least 2. Tons of them about banners...
  15. Making Decisions - Banners we Offer

    "How to price products 101" shouldn't be in this forum and there have been a million threads on the topic. Take some night classes.
  16. What's the latest in advertising/signages we can apply on a budget??

    Hard to say without seeing the logo you have to work with.
  17. How about that TIM TEBOW?

    Kyle Orton usually has strong games against GB (excepting the Denver game...). Plus they had that "fired head coach" mojo boost teams get when a bad HC is evicted. GB certainly didn't help themselves. But who cares, they dismantled the Bears for the fourth time in 2011 and have home field...
  18. E-Myth Revisited....Literally

    Good sentiment, haven't read it but read many like it with the same message, build your business so that you're working on the business, not working in the business. I'd say over 90% of the small businesses we deal with have this problem.
  19. paypal tax reminder

    Quoting this in case he tries to delete it later realizing information never dies on the internet. PAY YOUR TAXES jackhole!
