Client: Can you send me this logo with no background?

Me: Okay.

Client: You sent me a PNG. Why?

Me: PNGs are transparent.

Client: Then what is this gray and white checkered background? I said no background.

Me: That means it is transparent. It wont show up.

Client: But I can see it….

What Pinterest Might Have Looked Like If It Was Created In the 1990s

Whoever is responsible for this, you get props over here.

Please Upgrade these 2 items for KegDroid 2.0:

1. No manual work ever. I can pull the tap without fancy gizmos.
2. No HEAD. I mean 80% head on a beer is … a FAIL.

Everything else… YES!

I’ve been looking for a clean simple mp3 player without xml, or php involved.

After you dl the zplayer.swf and upload it to a directory. 

Use code similar to:

<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”zplayer.swf?mp3=fichier.mp3&c1=4c0682” width=”200” height=”20”/><param name=”movie” value=”zplayer.swf?mp3=fichier.mp3&c1=4c0682” /></object>

Common Alternate Audio solutions:

1. Wordpress style audio player
2. XSPF Music Player
3. Audio Play

A client requested I change the colours and photos on a document, along with adding additional images and fresh copy.

Me: Okay, that won’t take me very long. But as we’ve discussed before, the minimum design fee is X.

Client: Why are you charging me a design fee? I’m only having you make…

For some reason I have been getting weird issues with IE7 when an input item (usually submit buttons) are in a div (or span).

The button just disappears.

Gone. Vamoose.

My fix that has worked every time?

Put a no break space right before the button. You can make it IE7 only with javascript, but really the “space” won’t visually change the button placement by more than 1 pixel.

What?

<div>&nbsp;<input type=”submit” value=”Submit” /></div>

Bam! The button is back.

Client: I think you need a business lesson. You have no idea how to establish prices. You already have a studio so you don’t need to add in this studio rate. It only takes a few seconds to snap a picture so you can do that on the same day you set up the lights and stuff, making your day rate and…

I REALLY REALLY wish some of these clients were named and exposed. This some real kind of BS garbage.
