Freebie: Tiled Pattern ‘Paper’ – Swirls, Stars, Dots
Posted on | October 14, 2009 | No Comments
Had a moment to try and learn something new with Illustrator the last few days and tackled creating a tiled pattern which I turned into a black and white pattern.
I’ve decided to give it away as a freebie in 300dpi 8.5×11″ paper and 12×12″ paper.
If you like and you take, please leave a comment letting me know. Thanks. Enjoy the design, because I had fun making it.

A Logo Idea…If I Were Predatory
Posted on | August 11, 2009 | No Comments
I saw a tweet from LayersTV_RC about not being able to sketch a logo for his own identity, and I’d never even really given it a thought for myself.
But I had a few minutes and decided to sit down and sketch out a rough idea for this site. I used Photoshop to clean up the sketch a tad bit. Didn’t want to spend too much time on it. Here’s a scan, click on the thumbnail to view larger image:

Neighborhood Cat… Now Ours?
Posted on | August 10, 2009 | No Comments
First noticed the cat about two months ago, hanging out on the back porch trying to stay cool in the afternoon sun by hiding under the deck seating. Can’t resist cats, so I went out to pet her. She purred from the beginning.
She kept coming back and well, I have a soft heart when it comes to animals so I started feeding it tiny little tuna cat treats. It’s since escalated to feeding her and her ‘adopted’ brother, twice a day some days. They originally come from the house two down from us, but the owner says they wander all over and are happy with whoever feeds them and gives them attention. So, I guess that would be me 
.
I went out this evening to take a picture of the female. She’s so pretty and so affectionate.
Troubled by spam messages….
Posted on | August 9, 2009 | No Comments
EDIT X2: Found it, thanks to a discussion board at Google Groups. So, profound thanks to all the diligent people there who investigated the problem behind this issue.
EDIT: So, it’s not the deactivated plug-ins and I’ve switched themes. I remain at a loss still. Will have to continue searching for this culprit.
A friend noticed via Google Reader that my latest blog post entry had a spam prescription drug message before the original post began. I’ve tried tracking it down to a possible spam comment or corrupt code. But doing an actual scan for the drug message through all the files and through the database yielded no answers. Perhaps it’s a script that is being run when the RSS feed is generated? I looked at the RSS feed through Firefox and it appears just fine, no spam messages. But searching through Bing, turned up the same message and it’s always before the entry for the current post. Or is now ‘cached’ and appears in old posts when doing a search.
So I’m troubled. My next step has been to disable all plug-ins that aren’t essential or vital to the loading of the site. I know it’s not the latest plug-in that I installed as it appeared before that occurred. So I’m doing a test with this message. If it still appears, even after disabling most of the plugins, I have no idea what I’m going to do. Any insights into this would be helpful.
