Simple is best, 2 minute design. Could do a lot better with effort but you get the point. Probably not the best idea to name your business is such an offhand flippant way but it could work for the audience. I'm just going to assume you didn't do any market research first though to know for...

If you're using Outlook set it to download the emails (don't leave a copy on the server) and have it run autoarchive every week, archiving anything over 2 months old. That way you can still search it but it won't slow down your inbox, and downloading instead of leaving on server will avoid...

I use parentheses exclusively, I shape all letterforms out of them.

No, it builds prototypes. It's mostly for industrial design prototyping as there's a constant need to actually handle the object revisions during the design process. Cuts way down on time/work making those prototypes.

Place is what it's called in all adobe products and is standard in the design industry -- import implies that the file is being embedded, whereas place implies that it is linked. Place makes a lot of sense and is a throwback term. Artboard is a throwback term from the pasteup days as well and...

This type of thing is exactly what the Gerber Edge/Envision system exists for.

All the good tools in SketchUp required a Pro license. The free version is really hard to do anything useful with.

NAS are a much better solution, a bit more cost upfront but true raid, usually built for business environments, networked, etc.

Using Cyrious but it has some holes that no sign shop software really covers (internal design request management separated from the invoice/work order system, etc.). Still, pretty decent for industry specific software. Probably going to implement ActionMethod to manage design staff, have used...

Using sRGB isn't the best bet though, get a Spyder and calibrate that thing. Then tell Windows to use the ICC you generated with the Spyder and all your graphics apps to use that profile as the monitor profile.

People still burn discs?

I run my non-sign business at night, so yes and no? Very much a night person by default. There are two major creative peaks in the day, the first few hours after you get up and the last couple before you go to bed. Everything in the middle is good for production grind, paperwork, finding...

Tomato is the best but pretty much any wireless router will have an access point mode so it can be used like you're wanting. Log in to the backend (usually https://192.168.1.1) and put it into access point mode (check your manual).

This design (all versions) looks like a bad skin on a truck in GTA. The final is really dark and ominous, I'd be afraid it's a trap.

Those are clients you walk away from. Read Book Yourself Solid by Michael Port.

Side projects that you have complete creative control over helps to keep your passion going. I also try to always be working in several different mediums at all times to keep fresh and I have a motto that a day in which I didn't learn anything is a wasted day. Podcasts are great for that, can be...

Everyone can safely click ignore on dgtlrob all he does is troll threads and throw around words like socialism without knowing what they mean and tell people why they're wrong about X. Lurkmore.

There's a reason you don't use dead flesh and bacteria colors for someone selling meat. Are zombies the customer base?

The prize is working on your design chops. I might give this a spin tomorrow if I need a break from our website redesign.
