  1. Cloud Software - What do you use?

    On the flip side of that we've lost days of production because Cyrious went down. If it had been a cloud service the onus of responsibility would have been on the SaaS provider (not to mention the onus of data integrity). Two sides to the coin. Also sounds like you used a fly by night hosting...
  2. Help With Trademarked Design

    Dang it Madoff you aren't allowed on the computer anymore! Back in your cell.
  3. Cloud Software - What do you use?

    There's a lot of misuse of the term cloud, definitely. Marketing fluff. I don't really consider point to point streaming to be cloud, that's just a typical server/client relationship. Cloud is a term like Web 2.0, relatively meaningless, many different definitions, way over used for marketing...
  4. Is anyone G7 color certified?

    There are a handful of shops on signs101 that are G7 certified, been a couple of threads. I think there's even one or two vendors that do G7 training on here if I recall. I looked into it a few months back and remain very interested but it's not high priority for the scale of our shop right now.
  5. Sign Shop Office Mascots

    A discussion on how you keep shop pet hair out of your cold laminator may be in order. :ROFLMAO:
  6. Cloud Software - What do you use?

    Freshbooks can export to Quickbooks and a bunch of other formats, I wouldn't use it if the data wasn't portable. Considering a switch off of it though as there are new competitors at lower price points but haven't made the move yet and they've been a very good service for me in my freelance...
  7. Cloud Software - What do you use?

    Yep now that is a real concern, which is why data portability is so important. Very valid.
  8. Cloud Software - What do you use?

    The computers are networked and if any of them are on the internet it's not that hard to pierce if someone was motivated. I would imagine at least one of the non-vaulted computers has root at some level, if only for throwing art production files around. Realistically a sign shop is an incredibly...
  9. Cloud Software - What do you use?

    What's in your bank vault, all your computers? That's a bit odd, how do you work? ;) What "information" exactly? Your tax records? Employee social security numbers? That's all on file electronically anyway (in government clouds and various other places). It's kind of irrelevant as you're already...
  10. Help With Trademarked Design

    And if he's the type of person that gets angry that you won't break the law for him, he's not a good client.
  11. Help With Trademarked Design

    Explaining that what he's requesting puts you both on the line for massive legal penalties shouldn't be upsetting, just factual.

    Evernote Dropbox Google (Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Tasks, a million others) Freshbooks, Outright, Shoeboxed, Expensify (freelancing/consulting) getsatisfaction Flickr ActionMethod MailChimp Seesmic Web+Mobile+Desktop Backblaze Dozens more on the fringe of being considered cloud (though more just...
  13. Little wiggly thing....................

    Using the accent mark is proper, whether or not caps fits the situation is the real issue but it's probably not worth the effort. Not really appropriate to get all crazy about the mark itself though as it's being used correctly caps or not, as Tim points out.
  14. Wrapping Our Step Van - Looking For Stock Photos Of Sign Shop

    Customers really don't care what your shop looks like behind the scenes. Maybe one in fifty finds it vaguely interesting but it's not a great idea for your wrap. Boring.
  15. How does this Happen?

    Wow, really? It's a screen resolution jpg it looks good on screen because that's it's intended usage. As jhill says, get the vectored version. This is pretty remedial!
  16. Just wrapped my tahoe

    Goat Wraps
  17. Google+ Invites?

    You're confusing three different things. 1) Google's +1 rollout 2) Google Profiles 3) Google+ 1) is a method of liking content similar to digg/reddit/stumbleupon and adds a social filtering layer into google's pagerank algo. You can +1 content on Google+ but they're different things. +1s are...
  18. print issues

    Try hitting it with compressed air before you try direct cleaning. A lot of times it's just covered in lint and canvas/paper particles.
  19. Phone/laptop decals - win or fail?

    Charging family is the only way to get them to go away ;P. OP do you think you can compete with http://www.gelaskins.com/ who are an established brand and have successfully scaled? What do you bring that's new? You need to disrupt an established market to have any chance at success but there's...
