Eskymo

Hi I'm looking to buy some screensaver software as I need to create a screensaver for a client. My main concern is that if I'm spending money on software I need it to be cross platform so that I can create Mac and PC versions of the screensaver with relative ease. The cheaper the better. Free would be great. Does anyone know of any decent preograms aout there? thanks E

Why Choose Fireworks

Hey all Thought I'd shar the latest version of the Edge Newsletter with you in case you don't subscribe to it - this article in it explains how they approached building it using CSS and has some good tips in it. I've now learnt the hack of how to deal with IE rendering PNG files correctly, something I need for a current project. The Edge Newsletter Enjoy... E

Hey All Maybe the debate as to the future of Fireworks can soon cease - it's not going to get eaten up by Photoshop as version 9 is now in Beta. I got the Edge Newsletter today - nicely redesigned in CSS - and here's a link to the info on Fireworks: A sparkling future for Fireworks Thought I'd pass on the good news E

I was just having a laugh...

doesn't ring a bell with me.

I had this kind of problem when I resigned from a company a while abck and didn't ask them permission to use the work I'd done whilst I worked there on my portfolio. Luckily one of my best mates is a lawyer and he helped sort it all out. Legally I'm not allowed to post up images of the work I did at that company but I am able to link to anything that is online/live and say that I designed it whilst working there. I've also added a legal statement about this on my site just to cover myself. What that guy is doing is totally illegal as he's linking to a site that he didn't design. If he linked to a screenshot of his design then that'd be fine. I would definitely think about adding a designers credit to the footer of your site. You could also add information within the meta tags in the code like this: <meta name="author" content="Evie Milo t/a Eskymo - http://www.eskymo.co.uk" /> <meta name="copyright" content="Copyright © 2000-2006 Evie Milo, All Rights Reserved" /> I would then get a legal letter drafted up and sent to him as suggested by technoflutemom.

I always find that using margin: 0 auto; in the body tag works, but was told ages ago to also add text-align: centre; probably to get it to work in MSIE or some other browser - not sure if this is still relevant but I always put it in for safety

that's what I do. I generally set up the default link styles and then create 'exceptions' wihin specific divs. Sometimes it doesn't work though and I'm not sure what I'm getting wrong and so I have to revert to creating specific styles for specific links which is a pain.

not heard of it - is it on general release now? Who's in it - what's it about?

I got a chain letter email yesterday - that I was pursuaded to send on to at least ten people to benefit form some good luck. If I didn't send it on I would get a years bad luck. Who starts these things off? and why? Is it a way of collecting email addresses. I personally don't believe in any of them and just delete them and request that my friends don't include me in future chain letters.

I'm not offended at all...but it is amazing that mostly everyone I meet online as Eskymo presumes I'm male.

maybe I should have kept my pink look!

ahem....she...ahem! Do I look like a boy??

it's all googlelygook to me!

I've got it but no idea how to set it up and so gave up after my first pathetic attempts to understand it.

I've never thought about that - I've always just plonked my index.php files in the route directory and never had a porblem - didn't realise you had to instruct the server about it.

Hi there Welcome aboard - tells us a little bit more about yourself...

thanks ben - you're a star - got my gmail sorted now!!! well it's googlemail.com rather than gmail.com.

I want to get a gmail account - but can't - says you can only get one if you're invited by a pal - anyone fancy sending me an invite? if so email info / at / my / - / igloo / . / net ta

thanks...I'm blushing!

Am I the only one here who thinks iPod's are crap? They're OK - I got one thankfully before iPod mania took over the world, so I think I've got one that will last and not breakdown after a year despite the fact that the battery only lasts for about 6hours or less. But I wish I'd got something else and not got sucked into the aple vibe. Mix iTunes into the mix and it's anightmare - god I hate that program! So many "unamed artist" and "unknown album folders all over the place - it drives me nuts so I use Yamipod instead as it's far simpler and far superior!

I don't celebrate until I get paid! Then I treat myself and buy myself something! Mind you that depends on the size of the project. I do go through all the paperwork and emails and file things away like images on CD etc, make sure all invoices have been sent, return source material to the client etc and then back everything up onto CD in case my PC conks out.

Pretty much all of my clients are in the creative sector - artists, photographers, designers. I also have a few design agencies on board that use me as a freelancer for work they haven't got time to do or the people to do it, or for work that they haven't got the in-house capability to do - some hire me as their 'web team' as they're strictly print design, some hire me to do all their flash work as they don't have an animator in house etc.
