Aint' it funny, when it instructs you to use the Panel for help, but that's part of the problem!!

Email is all I need, but alas, no luck... Not the end of the world, but it is preventing me from ordering an anniversary present because I can't access my email for a confirmation. Whomp, like my wife is going to buy this excuse... I swear, the only time I notice DreamHost is down is when I have an actual need for it to be up, which is rare.

Re: On Interviewing Software Engineers

Mitchell — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 18:35:33 -0000

Very good article and timely for my current situation. I left my software engineering position in March this year and have been taking my time looking for the next opportunity. Two companies sent me "homework" assignments after I applied online. This rubbed me wrong immediately because I don't like them asking for my time without first putting in a little of their time in the form of an interview at the very least.

I don't want to work for a company that operates that way. Intended or not, they've communicated to me that their primary concern isn't "who" I am. When I've interviewed candidates I'm thinking "Can I work with this person? Do I want them on my team? Will they get along with the rest of the team?" RockStar or not, if I can't see working with someone for an extended period of time, it doesn't matter how brilliant they are, it will never work out in the long run.

I didn't burn any bridges, but those two companies I mentioned got a polite "thanks but no thanks" from me. I want to work for an organization that wants to work with me, not just work me.

Re: Making 3D Logos in Motion | Ripple Training

Mitchell — Sat, 23 May 2015 03:09:27 -0000

With the introduction of 3D text this idea was one that occurred to me but I don't have a font tool...until now. Others who may want to play around with this concept might want to use glyphyr studio, an online tool for creating fonts. It's free and not much more overhead, though you do need to export an svg from your graphics tool. (No pasting in glyphr, just importing.) It's a great way to create an OTF for Motion/FCPX though. Thanks for the videos, they are fantastic!

I continue to be a fan of Ripple, Mark, and Steve! This Under 5 series has been great. I don't know where to send requests, but something I'd love to see: using Motion with FCPX clips. For example, what would be the workflow for this particular clip (skateboarding)? Since the switch to FCPX I've used a variety of methods for "roundtripping", but I'd love to see what your recommendation is. Thanks as always!

I've heard rumors that some people have had trouble with The Green Dragon and service. Is this true, or just urban legend?

Re: Dear Vending Machine

Very sad. Seems you just recently started seeing this vending machine. The last one up and left you, as I recall. You may have been on the rebound. Probably for the best...

May frostier drinks lay ahead, as you part with bitter memories of unrequited love.

Do I get 9 more guesses?

Re: Songs for the New Age Dieter

"Selected", which means not the song you would have chosen. I'm going with #3.

How well does she travel and are you bringing me one?

I've heard that Tasty n Sons has many a fine concoction to turn the naysayer into a true believer. At least, my friend told me they make a decent Caucasian for the big Lebowski in all of us. I'll take his word for it.

"Sanitized"? Can your really sanitize a piece of doo-doo? Oops, gotta run, someone from 1995 is paging me...

Cheer up sleepy dreamer! I'm enjoying the trip so far. Thanks for these posts. I'm hanging on until you get back before I leave my cell. Be safe!

I'm thinking with enough beer in me, I'd like a fish massage while I'm peeing, but that's just me!

Admittedly, I could use a bottle of rye 'bout now ;-)

Re: 179 Podcast Answer Man – Horribly Non-Navigable Site

Mitchell — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 16:54:31 -0000

Cliff, I thought I'd chime in with my thoughts regarding the use of mobile themes. I don't see this as an issue of a mobile platform's ability to display the site. Rather, it is about speed and page size. Mobile users are not always in the best of coverage, and if a user is spending tens of seconds waiting for graphics to download, rather than consuming your content, then you've shot yourself in the foot (unless you are an artist and images ARE your content).

Giving the user a choice is the best alternative, but I'd rather give them a speedy mobile site first, and let the savvy user switch. It's far easier to see the mobile "on|off" button on a mobile site than buried on the bottom of a regular site. Look for yourself and see if you don't agree.

Personally, I'm more concerned that mobile users can actually play my podcast and understand how to if they are on a non-flash device, than how it actually looks at 3 inches! But that's just the podcaster in me speaking :D

Keep spreading the good word!

Glad to see you made it, thanks to your connect back in the states, I hear ;-) Keep posting when you can, I'm loving it.

I know I've asked this before, but what App are you using for this photo? I like the edges. This is very cool. I'm jealous. But you already knew that.

I actually told myself I wouldn't allow myself to make any political comments here in the comments. And, as much as it may kill me, I won't :D

Mike,
Your second link was a good read. There were some points I'd not thought about before and I'm glad you shared. I would actually love a full blown discussion of this topic one day on the Potluck, but we'd need to bring in at least one other dem so I'm not alone :P

Kermit,
I'm going to pretend your fist pump was for something I said. I'm one of the Mitches by the way!!

Thanks for the comments!

And even more ironic, he had a fondness for nuts, despite his "marriage".
