    I've cut the cord

    Rogers Cable TV is free in my building in downtown Toronto. I didn't watch TV for several years, but I think it carries CBC.

    How QuarkXPress became a mere afterthought in publishing

    I think the thought of keeping working with those 5,000 files in Quark is way more terrifying.

    Automated Preflight

    As far as I know, the only program that handles all those formats is FlightCheck. I don't know if they have any hot folder facility (Markzware once had something called MarkzScout, I think). It's possible that you can automate it, at least partially, with OS X Automator hot folders, or Switch...

    indesign constant crashing

    If it's of any help, our Output Factory will let you print your InDesign file as single pages. That is you can send the entire file to print but only one page at a time will be actually sent under the hood - which may fix your memory issue: Automate InDesign printing and exporting | Output...

    Sad to say, I'm on my way...

    CV = Curriculum Vitae. It's a quite an old term. However, I only used it because it was used in the original post. I didn't see it for a long time myself and normally would say "resume".

    Sad to say, I'm on my way...

    Instead of sending out the CVs, try to call the places instead and speak directly to the manager of the department you're interested in, not HR. It can be much more efficient and yield you much more interviews.

    Bad email habits you need to break

    That's true, but unfortunately it's not always under control of the email composer - just like on this forum. The only thing that's under control is the window width of the person reading the email (or other text on the Internet). So a good advice to readers is to reduce the window width if...

    Still using manual trapping?

    There's a simple and dirty solution, which may sounds like heresy - however we used it successfully and never had a single complaint: Open the file in Photoshop and apply the Trap command. We mostly used it with InDesign files: save as EPS > rasterize in Photoshop > trap There's more to...

    Bad email habits you need to break

    Thanks Farshad! But can I add another golder rule: Structure your email in a coherent way. For example, if your subject is "Bad email habits" and you actually list those habits - as well as elaborate on each of them, then you need to mark and separate every such habit one way or another...

    What do you think of this?

    Yeah, I'm sure that MM fonts and InDesign 1.0 were also discussed in endless meetings...

    Prepress Tips for Designers

    Or maybe quite the opposite: it was all included in his "last printer's" price, that is the printer was expensive. Now the customer got excited that he found someone cheaper - only to find out he'll have to pay the same price one way or another anyway.

    Prepress Tips for Designers

    It looks like his "last printer" did all of it for him for free - and now you're suffering.

    PDF Preflight Tools

    First, I agree that Acrobat Pro has an extremely powerful and versatile preflight feature. However, if it's an overkill for you I recommend to take a look at our PDF Checkpoint: Automate PDF preflight and conversion | PDF Checkpoint PDF Checkpoint is a simple tool to batch preflight and...

    Droplet

    Yes, you can easily do it using Preflight droplets of Acrobat Pro. Open Preflight panel and explore the PDF Fixup options. It already includes 'Convert to grayscale' action which probably does exactly what you want, but you can also customize it and create new ones. Then just create a droplet...

    Questions about the US

    Israel NEVER attacked its neighbors. On the contrary, it constantly endured attacks by its neighbors. If you mean the destruction of nuclear reactors in Iraq and Syria - well, just because of the previous experience Israel had to take some necessary precautions once in a while. You don't want...

    Questions about the US

    These views are very popular indeed, just like the fake moon landing etc. Israel actually warned US against attacking Iraq. Bush just had to be a "war president".

    Questions about the US

    "Very confusing" sums it up pretty well. And the more you read on the subject, the more confused you'll most likely become, especially that you'll never know the real truth anyway. The issue with Iran is that it's run by fanatical religious fundamentalists and it did issue specific threats...
