| Fresh start? |
| 03.12.04 (6:26 pm) [edit] |
Wiped out my web log ... which is a great way to make a fresh start I suppose! ....
My week ended on a high note, magazine out at last, layouts just finished for Monday, and hey It's weekend. Great news is that we have secures our sponsorship for the down coast regatta ... but have Admirals Cup next weekend - a toughie but we should be OK, what with the new sails, and the crew is pumped what with two fourths and then a win last Saturday ...
Pic below is from Wednesday - Wizard trucking past us, but we clawed back and made 4th!

| Now we're cooking! |
| 03.11.04 (12:17 pm) [edit] |
New publication is being delivered tomorrow - and it looks fantastic! Phew... thank God
I need your help - does anyone out there know how I can convert a Jpeg image into one spot (with half tones)?
- hey I'm a writer not a layout expert ...
Busy with a job that requires a two colour print, but artwork has arrived in full colour - and a Jpeg - which is a 'flat' image, which means it has no layers... I really could use your assistance ...

| Writerboy on turning ships and tunnel lights shining ... |
| 03.10.04 (3:22 am) [edit] |
The phone's been ringing off the hook. Work is pouring in Whoo Hoo! Still don't have two brass ... to rub together, but the light at the end of the tunnel is sizzling my retinas. The question is how much longer can I cope with this stress?
My brilliant three kids and my gorgeous wife all look at me like I'm some kind of hero - which I'm not - and the faith they have in me: where did that come from? I feel like a grape in a wine press...
Still, I can feel the ship slowly coming about

| Pregnant with opportunity - where's the cash? |
| 03.07.04 (3:52 am) [edit] |
A week from hell just over and another one looming ahead. Several projects boiling over and on the brink of closing... Revenue Servcie called again Friday - asking all sorts of questions - last months bills havent been paid yet and all my work is only getting out next week. Feast or Famine is the name of our game. We are either so busy that it is normal to pull 16 hours/ day or we sit and wait. The book is progressing nicely, the magazine is at the printers and new work is streaming in ... hopefully the cash flow nightmare will be over soon.
I have been working hard on a sponsorship deal to get our yacht down the coast for a big regatta at the end of April, and it looks like this is going to come off. It will be brilliant to get to sea for a few days...
Pressure :!:
