Window Sizer

This is a really cool little app that lets you pre-define window sizes and placement, and then apply those pre-sets to any open window.

Setting up ACHI on P965 Motherboards

When I first installed Windows on my new system I thought how cool it was that Windows would install without needing to additional drivers at install time. It seems that the ASUS P5B-E, and I assume most other Intel P965 motherboards allow you to make your SATA hard drives look like IDE hard drives. While this seemed like a good feature to me during installation, it soon started to cause me problems later.

Creative Suite 2.3

For the past few years I have been working at a wholesale printing company doing pre-press, graphic and web design. After using several design products for that time it seemed like the right time to jump in and buy the Adobe Creative Suite 2.

This seems like a good time because Adobe is just setting up to release Creative Suite 2.3. Which now comes with the new Acrobat 8 and Dreamweaver. Even though I am hand web coder I have been looking into Dreamweaver and it seems like it is a pretty good hand coding enviroment with some WYSIWYG features thrown in.

Along with Acrobat 8 and Dreamweaver you also get Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, Version Cue, and Bridge. I have been using most of these applications for awhile now, and they all rock.

Anyway, hopefully there will be some more graphic design related content up here from now on as I play around with these apps.
