Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.
 

 
This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

Dear Shannon,
 
That is shocking news. Luckily I was sitting down when I read your email and not half way up a ladder or tree. How are you holding up? I am surprised you managed to attend work at all what with thinking about Missy out there cold, frightened and alone... possibly lying on the side of the road, her back legs squashed by a vehicle, calling out "Shannon, where are you?"
 
Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.
 
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
 
I never said I don't like cats. Once, having been invited to a party, I went clothes shopping beforehand and bought a pair of expensive G-Star boots. They were two sizes too small but I wanted them so badly I figured I could just wear them without socks and cut my toenails very short. As the party was only a few blocks from my place, I decided to walk. After the first block, I lost all feeling in my feet. Arriving at the party, I stumbled into a guy named Steven, spilling Malibu & coke onto his white Wham 'Choose Life' t-shirt, and he punched me. An hour or so after the incident, Steven sat down in a chair already occupied by a cat. The surprised cat clawed and snarled causing Steven to leap out of the chair, slip on a rug and strike his forehead onto the corner of a speaker; resulting in a two inch open gash. In its shock, the cat also defecated, leaving Steven with a wet brown stain down the back of his beige cargo pants. I liked that cat.
 
Attached poster as requested.
 
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
 
It's a design thing. The cat is lost in the negative space.

Dear Shannon,
 
Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don't come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I am willing to overlook this faux pas due to you no doubt being preoccupied with thoughts of Missy attempting to make her way home across busy intersections or being trapped in a drain as it slowly fills with water. I spent three days down a well once but that was just for fun.
 
I have amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.
 
Regards, David.

yeah can you do the poster or not? I just want a photo and the word lost and the telephone number and when and where she was lost and her name. Not like a movie poster or anything stupid. I have to leave early today. If it was your cat I would help you. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,
 
I don't have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend's cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter, I kept the cat in a closed cardboard box in the shed and forgot about it. If I wanted to feed something and clean faeces, I wouldn't have put my mother in that home after her stroke. A week later, when my friend came to collect his cat, I pretended that I was not home and mailed the box to him. Apparently I failed to put enough stamps on the package and he had to collect it from the post office and pay eighteen dollars. He still goes on about that sometimes, people need to learn to let go.
 
I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.
 
Regards, David.

I know, but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls and says "I haven't seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?" you can politely decline and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.
 
I knew someone who had a basset hound that had its hind legs removed after an accident and it had to walk around with one of those little buggies with wheels. If it had been my dog I would have asked for all its legs to be removed and replaced with wheels and had a remote control installed. I could charge neighbourhood kids for rides and enter it in races. If I did the same with a horse I could drive it to work. I would call it Steven.
 
Regards, David.

Fine. That will have to do.

I edited my above post with a link but zed got in there quick and we know how Kingy misses thing easily
 
This link http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/css-fundametals-css-3-transitions/

My link is just CSS.

The notes feature.
 
Very under-used and i'm yet to get a PSD through from any designer that utilised it.
 
For those that don't know, the notes feature allows you to attach different notes to sections in your PSD's with explanations of the functions etc.
 
Not only is it great to use these when you're sending out a design (and receiving one) but it's also great for when you're doing an on-going personal project as it can prompt you to remember things that you'd forgotten.

http://www.kirsle.net/wizards/ttf2eot.cgi

Default styles for a h1 are:

h1 { display: block; font-size: 2em; font-weight: bold; margin: 0.67em 0; }
 
It's not different in every browser it's just that every browser has a slightly different way of interpreting the em values which is why it looks different.

Thankyou WDF
For making my life better!
 
1 year and a half ago, i was kicked out of college after the first year, no job prospects or anything. I started searching for job vacancys and found a web designing one and got it (with a website i made in a freewebsite builder lol, but they did not no that!).
 
However I came there with no kwnoledge apart from fireworks, and diddent even no html/css.
The people who employed me dident no anything either and just allowed me most of the day to train myself.
 
Since then with the help of you guys I've been on this forum, learning and learning, and now ive got my life on track with a lovely salary (now ive moved jobs) and even got the chance to move out my mums house now lol
 
And its all because of you lot! I've learnt so much from this forum this rediculouse and you lot are proberly bored of me asking questions so im saying thanks

Well done mate! glad things have worked out good for you

Good times.

*sniff*

I'm guessing someone here skipped the whole Google tutorial they give you when you set up the apps account
 
Basically you need to set-up a new CNAME in your host account with the name 'mail' and the value as 'ghs.google.com'

Take a deep breath and think calm thoughts.
 
Contract or not once invoiced and failed to pay within the proscribed time limit you are within your rights to add a late payment charge and re-invoice them. If the client is a complete prat and still keeps you dangling bide your time and keep resubmitting.
 
When you get to around £300 sell the debt to the UK's favourite bunch of even bigger class A holes Bristow & Sutor who will have all the time in the world to spend with your former client.
 
Alternatively... assuming you did the FTP upload take down the site and replace with the phrase " Pay Me My Money! " as they have probably just got new business cards with the website URL on this tends to get things sorted.
 
A handy trick for future reference is to keep the clients CSS files on a seperate domain under your complete control until final payment is recieved.

RTFM

Looks like line 7 should read:
 

foreach($cart_products as $product){
 
i.e. remove the '$product_id ?>'
