Very slick!

July 29th, 2007

I don’t know when this came about, but I’m enthralled with mypictr.com. Other than the obviously cheesy Flickr-like name, the service is awesome. It’s simple and to the point, giving you a quick way to make thumbnails for the million and one social networks out there today. I like that if I want to update my thumbnail on all my networks with the same photo, I can simply upload it once and edit it over & over again for all the different ones I need. It must have taken me all of five minutes to them, too.

Very awesome, indeed. :D

Virtual Office?

June 20th, 2007

As more and more people run businesses out of their homes, virtual offices have become a life saver. I admit, I have often thought how helpful it would be to be able to run DTM with a receptionist and a “real” address. And while virtual offices have been on my mind as a good choice, I’m afraid of there being mixed up when there are a million other businesses in the same location. Just how does the receptionist know what I want said to my customer and how to handle things? And is it good when a customer stops by at random and I’m never in the office? Would they know? Would it be obvious if there were no signs up that say “DTM”? I just don’t know. Seems to work really well for some people. And really, it’s a dead giveaway when you have an apartment number on your address. ;)

I wonder if there are places you can rent for photo shoots? You know, the kind that would come fully furnished with equipment? It would be interesting and I’ll have to look to see if any are available. Even if they didn’t have the equipment, just being able to have a place to take photos would be cool. To be honest though, I always have loved the people who buy older homes and renovate them for use as a studio/office. I think they’re the most fun and full of personality. Of course, with space being at a premium, it might just be simpler to buy a loft or brownstone instead of a full house.

With so many options and choices, we’ll see what I end up pursuing. I’ll probably write up the process or at least what my research turns up.

Still working…

Got some themes for the sandbox competition in the works. Will keep you posted! :)

WP auto-saves entries now…

June 13th, 2007

I am completely digging the new WP 2.2! I don’t know how it works but I noticed on my other blog that it was auto-saving my entry as I was writing it. Granted, it’s not every second or anything but it is enough where if you’re writing a rather long post, you aren’t going to lose anything significant.

I can appreciate that even though I’ve never had a problem with my posts disappearing on me. But my friend Rachel is what I call an all day writer. She’ll work all day on one post. Just off and on but still. ;)

Had to share, I just love the feature. :D

Random side note: They stuck the preview into a link instead of it loading at the bottom of the writing post page. I love that, too!

Something always has to change…

June 12th, 2007

I hate getting errors when I upgrade anything. Wordpress is no different and there tends to be one or two minor errors that I have to research and fix. Not that I’m complaining! Well, not really. ;) Anyway, if you happen to upgrade your own WP to 2.2 and get this: 403 Forbidden You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/index-extra.php on this server. Simply put the following in your .htaccess and it works beautifully!

< Files index-extra.php >
SecFilterInheritance Off
< /Files >

Of course, remove the spacing, I just did that because I’m tired of fighting to get my WP to post it as coding. ;)
Credit goes to Deerhunter04 for the coding. :)
