You bring the vodka

Hmmm that sounds somewhat relevant . I'll have to check it out.

That show is hilarious. I binge watched it 2 to 3 episodes a day

There's an option to renew

@TheoryNumber3 auto renew, I hope. I'll forget if I do this right.

@1of5 I like the way you think. And your dog is a pretty snappy dresser

@TheoryNumber3 gotta think long term in times like these. He's a surprisingly good driver, too - just can't get him insured.

@1of5 Probably just as well!

@TheoryNumber3 typical lab, going in circles. All they had to do was throw its ball into the garage and (s)he would have parked the car there.

I published magazines. We had a rule that the author of an article was not allowed to proof read it. Another person had to do a proof reading and make amendments, without telling the author what alterations had been made.
Then the author was compelled to re-read the amended article, which often had had no amendments made.
It's amazing how many errors the original author now found and amended.
We assumed it was because the author was no longer seeing what he thought he had written

@Petter We did that in a pre-press department I worked in - negative assembly down to 4 composite (CMYB) negatives ready for plate making. I'd finish my section and hand it off to the person across from me to proof. Error rate went WAY down.

@silverotter11 interesting you call it CMYB. We called it CMYK.

@Petter . I was a proof reader and I was told the first day to look at every single letter. Otherwise, as you said, you see what you think you see. We called it CMYK also. Cyan, magenta, yellow black. Is that right? It's been a while

@TheoryNumber3 yes those are the colors used in the printing process. The seeing what you think you see is so frustrating!! I'll post something, I get a respond or reply. I open the reply wich is below my comment - I readmy typed comment and it's like WTF?!?! Who the hell typed THAT?

@Petter Actually it is CMYK - fucking typist who does not proof read. Wait'll I get my hands on HER!! lol

@silverotter11 Understandable, if someone is left handed, wouldn't you say?

@silverotter11 Like you, I too frequently have to "post correct" posts.

@silverotter11, @TheoryNumber3 The black printing plate is always used first, because that one carries all the outlines. It is the KEY plate, for the Cyan, Magenta and Yellow plates, which are then aligned to it in 4 colour process printing.
In theory, one could use a 3 colour printing process, without this K plate, but blacks then tend to be dark greys.
I sometimes used this to create a "wishy washy" effect.

@Petter,@TheroryNumber3, @silverotter11 - You all are killin' me. Thanks!

@Petter Never wanted to be a pressman. I started out in paste-up and original art stuff but found I really liked the off-set camera work the best. Half-tones, 4-color separation and line work. As more and more of that work was going to computer generation the negative assembly was the last area to require actually labor. And then it was all computer. oh well.

@silverotter11 I was an avid fan of using computers. Initially I laser printed black and white lithos on to polyester film, then did full, 1200 dpi colour separations on to heat resistant polyester, before investing in an Agfa photographic image setter with 3000 dpi. I even tweaked results by creating my own ppd files for it.

@silverotter11 Are you a member of the Authors, Editors, Publishers and Readers group?
This topic would have made a good thread.

@Petter No, I was a production worker so when it all went computer I took my hobbie - pottery - and started selling my pots to pay the bills.

@petter I did keyline and assembly for an art studio. Have T-square will travel

@silverotter11 gawdamn spelchek is fucking up my perfect typing daily

@silverotter11 You could say you were "making pots of money" then? Hope it "panned" out well.

@silverotter11, @TheoryNumber3 My drawing skills are best summed up as "When Euclid stated that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, he hadn't seen Petter draw a straight line."
