| schestowitz | The spammers seem to have adopted a new strategy where they edit existed pages using anonymous identities/IP addresses. If they see no incentive, hopefully they'll just leave :-) | Sep 18 09:03 |

| schestowitz | Quite possible. They aim at the pages which troubled them the most, with 25k /non-cached/ views. | Sep 18 09:19 |

| schestowitz | Hey | Sep 18 15:58 |
| schestowitz | I have a cliebnt who needs a logo | Sep 18 15:58 |
| schestowitz | and I told him you're the expert | Sep 18 15:58 |
| schestowitz | It's for a shirt design and for the client's site | Sep 18 15:58 |
| schestowitz | Can I mail you a mockup? | Sep 18 15:58 |
| schestowitz | I'll pay you by paypal if you like | Sep 18 15:59 |
| qu1j0t3 | by mockup you mean they already have a design and they need artwork? | Sep 18 15:59 |
| schestowitz | just on paper | Sep 18 16:02 |
| schestowitz | agreed on during a meeting with the client | Sep 18 16:02 |
| schestowitz | and colours | Sep 18 16:02 |
| schestowitz | I'm no photoshop guru like you | Sep 18 16:02 |
| qu1j0t3 | send me the mockup but i can't guarantee i can do it | Sep 18 16:04 |
| qu1j0t3 | i'll take a look tho | Sep 18 16:04 |
| schestowitz | I've just paid the host for 2 years domain and hosting. It's a good deal. Can upgrade any time. | Sep 18 16:11 |
| schestowitz | Just need to sort some stuff out | Sep 18 16:11 |
| schestowitz | qu1j0t3: OK | Sep 18 16:11 |
| schestowitz | Will mail this | Sep 18 16:11 |
| qu1j0t3 | np | Sep 18 16:16 |
| schestowitz | sent :-) | Sep 18 16:50 |
| qu1j0t3 | ok | Sep 18 16:53 |
| schestowitz | It's very bland as I saw no reason to make anything that's a mockup polished | Sep 18 16:56 |
| schestowitz | just the concept | Sep 18 16:56 |
| qu1j0t3 | ok | Sep 18 16:59 |
| schestowitz | Yes, and then it rots in the brain | Sep 18 17:00 |

| schestowitz | I'm currently checking out promotion to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_fellow | Sep 18 20:00 |
| schestowitz | "The title of research fellow is used to denote a research position at a university or similar institution, usually for academic staff or faculty members. A research fellow may act either as an independent investigator or under the supervision of a principal investigator. In contrast to a research assistant or research officer, the position of research fellow normally requires a doctoral degree, or equivalent work for | Sep 18 20:00 |

| schestowitz | instance in industry. Some research fellows undertake postdoctoral research or have some moderate teaching responsibilities. Research fellow positions vary in different countries and academic institutions. In some cases, they are permanent with the possibility of promotion, while in other instances they are temporary." | Sep 18 20:00 |
| schestowitz | "Although similar to the position of a research fellow, these two positions are research only posts, with the rise of the career grade there will normally be a formal requirement of a moderate amount of teaching and/or supervision (often at postgraduate level)." | Sep 18 20:03 |
| schestowitz | yay | Sep 18 21:23 |
| schestowitz | Alex set up a repo | Sep 18 21:23 |
| schestowitz | svn | Sep 18 21:23 |
| schestowitz | Most of the changes are at ./FMM and ./cache. I'm reading through the code now. I'll also write a short report shortly. | Sep 18 21:23 |

| Snit | Coming into the conversation late - but if you need some quick Photoshop stuff done I know the program fairly well. I am not much of an artist, though. | Sep 18 22:39 |
| qu1j0t3 | i wouldn't do this project in Photoshop. it's a vector project. | Sep 18 22:40 |
