New Pricing, New Pics, New FTP Instructions! Aye aye aye

Well, it's been a full on exciting weekend full of the joys of spring. Here's some of the wonderous delights now awaiting at FPDI...

Probably the biggest thing is that I've finally got around to updating all the 'Pricing' webpages with the new, well, pricing. In a nutshell I've abolished all of the $65 set-up fees as well as introducing 'Print by the square inch' for artwork printing. This makes the math a bit easier to do.

Secondly, the gallery has been updated with some more new cool projects - most of them in the fractal area but also a couple in the banner section too.

Thirdly, I've finally made up some 'official' instructions on how to use our FTP site for image upload. This is pretty exciting for me since up until this point I've been sounding like a broken record each time I've needed to send the information to someone in an email. These instructions can now be downloaded from the 'Support' section of our website.

The unusual project of the month award goes to an aircraft decal. I'll put pics up when it's completed, but it's a 2' rendering of 'Scamp' from 'Lady and the Tramp' (Disney) and will be eventually mounted on the underside of the wing on a Cessna 152. Very cool, traced from a teeny gif.

That's about all the news for the moment, other than if you've signed up for our newsletter, the service will now be coming to you from ConstantContact since Microsoft is retiring their bCentral product.

No News Is Good News

Not much to report here, other than the excitement of now being able to do my own shipping on Canada Posts' website. It's truly wonderous.

At ease, people...

New Gallery Bits and Bobs

It's been a while since I updated the gallery, so I've cleaned up some of the photos I've taken, along with photos sent in very kindly by clients and now they're in the respective areas of 'The Gallery'. Queue theme from 'Vision On'. Don't worry if you don't get that little joke. ;)

This weeks monumental discovery was that I can now address, pay for and label all my outgoing work thanks to Canada Posts online Business Centre. It's great. The rates still seem almost random, but at least now I don't have to stand in line-ups at the Post Office.

That's about it for this little update, later..

Small Business Ownership - Losing Ones Marbles

Today I found myself lusting after the 'deluxe' tape-gun in my local Staples. I think I've finally lost my mind. The fumes from the ink in the plotter have finally caught up to me. My life, as I know it has suddenly taken a very sad and tragic downturn.

Please, a moments silence for my dignity...
