So what flavor are you guys going to choose? Now I am kicking myself in the .... for not entering! LOL

I chose a nice sampler of Strawberry Cheesecake, Dragonlust, Dragonwings, Vanilla Custard, Poeia’s Minty Gingerbread, Raspberry Chocolate Cappuccino, Irish Cream Cheesecake, and another possible secret one or Banana Nut Bread. Whichever one works best for Deej.

Strawberry Cheesecake and Poeia's Minty Gingerbread I have had before but can always use more of and the rest are new to me.

I'll be doing the secret one... :) It sounds tasty!

Woohoo! Thanks so much!

The others did some really nice work as well. I'm very glad Deej is gracious enough to reward their time and efforts too. But of course that's just Deej being Deej. :wub:

I'm really looking forward to seeing the final product as well. Things can look great on a full color backlit screen but not always translate over as well to print. It's a common problem in graphics, what we're looking at here is projected light vs on paper / cardstock which will be reflected light. But as long as it's on a nice bright white cardstock, with today's inks and printers it should do pretty well.

As for flavors, I'll probably just go with 6 60ml's of mostly my staple flavors. Definitely NY Cheesecake, Sweet Gingerbread, Tiramisu, Caramel Cappuccino Cheesecake... The last 2 will take a little thought. I've still got a few of some of the newest flavors steeping, I should try those before submitting my official list.

I think Trav's is the one that most captures the feel of the website design. But the brighter colors make it easier to read than the old ones (a very good thing in a business card.)

But all three are truly excellent -- attractive, informative and easy to read.

I hate talented people.

I just assumed that's what Deej would want, to stick with the on going themes. Actually that limited me somewhat creatively, which can be a good thing. If my imagination were set free to theme it however I wanted, it probably would have taken me much longer.

I used to have a process that could take weeks of mulling concepts around in my head then trying to create them on the computer. Often resulting in multiple unfinished versions, I'd take them to a certain point then decide I wanted to do something completely different. For people who were patient enough in waiting for their forum sigs, it usually paid off in the end.

But there were a few that ended up never being completed because I was just never satisfied. :laugh:

so... in my never-ending quest to prevent leakage, I had brought in some shrink-wrap stuff.... 2" in diameter (not the stuff used in electronics).

Didn't shrink enough.


Back to the drawing board...



(I could probably get some for cabling that would work, but it would be way too thick, way too expensive)

You mean leakage in a tank or leakage in a bottle in the mail?

Yeah must be tough, has to fit over the bottle (without splitting when shrunk), yet be able to shrink enough to seal the cap. :s

Sorry I keep popping in and out. I'm fighting a bit of malware ATM. :(

Trouble is, even after you get it you're never really sure if you got it all.

Oh yuck!!! It can take weeks to fully clean out malware!

You have my sympathy!!

leakage during shipment

yep.

it shrinks enough to grip a 10ml bottle, but not enough to secure its cap...


And the shoulder/neck area on a 30ml bottle... probably not enough neck area anyway... there's not much of it

I don't think it's really that big a deal,
you usually stuff a little extra in there anyway don't ya'?

it depends on the method I use to mix... if I use the stirrers, yes... otherwise, there's at most 0.05 more than the bottle says.

Using the stirrers there's at least 2ml extra... depends on the volume being mixed...

Think I got it, it was a weird one. I kept hearing the audio from those annoying web ad videos you always see on web pages. Heck at one point there was even an introduction to some lame online web show. The computer had nothing running and would even start happening not long after a reboot without opening or starting any apps.

I noticed in my task manager that these processes were popping up called "twunk_32.exe". Sometimes more than one and I'd hear multiple audio streams overtop of each other.

Didn't take long to figure out that if I killed those processes the audio stopped. But the processes kept restarting back up after about 30 seconds to a minute.

I downloaded the latest Malwarebytes trial version (had to run it, the virus wouldn't let me save it). Once installed I did a scan and it found some items but their descriptions didn't sound related at all. Let the program do it's cleanup and I haven't heard anything (or seen the process) since.

Hopefully I got very lucky.

I usually try to keep my crap pretty tight, so if I spot something it's usually alone. It's when it's been on the PC a while and has invited friends that it REALLY gets messy.
