David, you are here late. Did you mistakenly set your clocks back 4 hours last weekend instead of ahead 1 hour? You should have been home to Margaritaville hours ago!

back to my normal hours today...


abby normal anyway.

I have had a week full of training meetings, my butt is killing me after sitting on those stupid chairs they always have in the conference areas. Where do they get these torture devices? It's like these chairs are from the Middle Ages...

(This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

Well, yeah, not only am I using Quark more than Indy at the moment, I'm actually making decent money off of the poor old thing.

I've been freelancing with a childrens' book publisher for almost a year, so far mostly bringing old versions up to date, converting files from the UK into US engrish, and various kinds of sales fliers. About half the books are in Quark. I got the job pretty much because they'd been having a terrible time finding someone who (1) had a copy and (2) knew how to use it. I'm now getting most of their freelance projects 'cause I know how this shit works pretty good and I always meet my deadlines. And my files always run.

So, yeah, when Quark announced their last chance to upgrade last year, I upgraded straight from 6 to 9, and the deal right then included a free upgrade to 10, which was just a few weeks away. So now I work in 10.1.1.0 and every legacy file I get gets brought all the way forward. I suppose I could bring files forward from v2 on providing some of the old machines stacked up in the basement still boot, but the furthest back I've had to reach so far has been 8, which opens in 9. I'm missing 7 & 8, so someday I may need to ask you guys for help bringing 6 or 7 forward to 8. Hope not! Especially those trickster pre-7 files...

Quark hasn't really changed much, at least not for the worse (that would be hard to fathom.) Most of the menus look the same as they looked 15 years ago. That helps, as I hadn't really used it since about 2001.

But it was like riding a bicycle. Helps to have a modern Mac with plenty of RAM.

The PDFs I've written out of Quark 10 have gone through smoothly at 2 different printers. Nothing I've seen yet had much in the way of transparency, and it's all been 4/C, so I'm not really twisting the tail of the output side. They claim that now you can generate layered PDFs with native transparency, but I haven't had any compelling reason yet to test that theory.

You may now begin the obligatory wailing and gnashing of teeth.
