Mastering Photoshop CS2
I’ll be attending the “Mastering Photoshop CS2” seminar in Atlanta on August 21st. It looks to be a pretty cool mix of classes. It’s been a while since I attended a seminar specifically on Photoshop, so it’ll be nice to be able to “sharpen the saw” with tips and tricks learned from this seminar. Learn…
Read MoreMySQL and Site Stability Issues
I’ve been having some technical issues with the website over the past few days. If things are acting up for you, please let me know. I had to repair the MySQL database today and that appears to have resolved part of the problems I was having, but time will tell whether my site will remain…
