From jwaggoner at micablue.com Thu Apr 1 21:38:06 2021 From: jwaggoner at micablue.com (Julie Waggoner) Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2021 17:38:06 -0400 Subject: [Hidden-tech] Word template Message-ID: <016901d7273f$4dfedc10$e9fc9430$@micablue.com> I'm looking for someone who's super experienced with creating Word templates. I have a client who wants their letterhead in a Word template. I translated their printed letterhead into a Word doc, with headers / footers, but I'm no whiz with the program. I don't know how to create a template that will open a new document with the template as a base, and with locks on the header & footer (so no one can change it accidentally) and with a default font locked in. Please contact me if this is in your wheelhouse. Thanks! Julie Waggoner MicaBlue Creative jwaggoner at micablue.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Altering an existing photo is likely a violation of the original photographer?s or publisher's copyright. If you want to claim that your use of the photo is fair use, because you?ve ?transformed? the existing photograph of Gates, you?ll have to bear in mind that proving fair use is a high bar. Many illustrators have violated copyrights because they didn?t realize the redoing a photo in another medium does not constitute a significant transformation. However, copyright of the original image isn?t the only issue here. There?s a bigger issue ? the right of publicity. Bill Gates as a celebrity gets to control how his image is used. Laws governing the right to publicity are state laws and so they vary state by state, but those laws all recognize that, in general, people get to control how their image is used commercially. (This is why photographers have to get model releases on photos they license.) Celebrities can also invoke the right to privacy in prohibiting their likeness being used without their authorization. If the t-shirts are being made for sale, that?s another issue (and possibly why the printer refused?they could be held liable as well as you, because it?s merchandise). I share this information with you as both a member?and board member?of the Graphic Artists Guild.

I help a small local non-profit with their website. We recently installed a donation plugin called ?GiveWP? which we got up and running fine on their website which was on WP 4.9. However, there is a functionality we need which requires it to run on WP 5.7. We got 5.7 running on the staging site, but now we need to get it running on the production site. There was some custom code made to Events Calendar Pro (currently on both staging 5.7 and production 4.9) and a non-supported plugin called Custom Menu Wizard (changes made only on staging running 5.7) The scope as I see it (but I?m not a dev) would be: 1- make a backup on developer?s PC of actual live/staging 2- copy live to staging including everything (all databases) 3- make sure that the staging has copied OK and there are no problems 4- do all the possible updates on staging including the WordPress (there may be some updates I?ll need to get from prior dev who made some changes to ?Custom Menu Wizard? plugin which was not compatible with WP 5.7) 5- add the copied customizations (Events Calendar Pro and Custom Menu Wizard) to staging and make sure that they work ok. 6- once everything is updated and working OK on staging, copy the website to live 7- qc the live site and make any fixes if necessary Is there anyone that could help us for a reasonable fee?

I'd be willing to print it for you and I live here in Millers Falls and work in Amherst, so I could meet you somewhere.? I'd print it for almost nothing.? Only question is if you have the STL file to process or if you need the part made.? If you need it made, you could do it yourself in www.tinkercad.com, which is free, and I've used it for years to make my simple parts.? No CAD experience necessary. Its very accurate when printing, so if it says 8mm, then it prints 8mm. If you give me the STL I can get it printed. PM me.

They prefer to advertise the type of stamp they use, since it's of very high quality and is a marketing plus, but Amazon's system is tagging it as an IP violation (this is not a complaint from anyone). My client has a document from the manufacturer certifying that they approve of their name being used, but Amazon in its vast obliviousness just sends back a canned response to anything they send. Anyone have any advice about this, or ideas about how to get past the Amazon roboguards to a real person?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Greg (and HT), It sounds like you?re in good hands with home 3D printers and makerspaces for your desk lamp repair, but if you need the next step up in 3D printing, I run the ADDFab 3D printing facility at UMass Amherst, and we do ?industrial grade? 3D printing for prototypes, short run production, or even medium volume production (100?s of units). We have highly accurate machines that print in a variety of polymers and metals. Plus, if you?re a small business headquartered in MA, the state provides some pretty significant subsidies for working with UMass. Certainly check out our website and let me know if we can help. https://www.umass.edu/ials/addfab Best, Dave follette at umass.edu On Tue, Apr 20, 2021 at 6:11 PM Shel Horowitz via Hidden-discuss < hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net> wrote: > There's a guy in South Hadley who does 3D.

The throughput on the mesh systems results in generally better speeds, they are also usually easier to setup. The TP-link Deco mesh line is solid, easy to setup and manage, and usually a good price point (they have a whole range). That said, depending on the age of your router TP-link does have a OneMesh system where certain routers can work with certain range extenders as if they are part of a mesh network. It wont be quite as fast as an out of the box mesh, but typical still quite good and more economical than buying all new hardware. OneMesh: https://www.tp-link.com/us/onemesh/product-list/ The RE220 that you mention is not shown in that list, but the RE230, 300, 315, 505 and 550 are all listed. They of course only pair with routers on that list as well. I run a Tp-Link Deco system in my home, and have set up quite a lot of them (or similar) for customers. Good luck!

The house down here in FL is cinderblock construction, and WiFi does not penetrate. I played around with range extenders (netgear and TPlink) (and still have two in use for a guest network extender), but they ended up being a pain PARTICULARLY if you use the "Same SSID" feature. That just totally screws up handoffs. I'm currently running Asus AIMesh (mostly because I use Asus routers). Works perfectly. I use "wired backhaul" (the nodes exchange data over cat5 and not over the air) and that just flies (though they will do over-the-air if you aren't wired, and that is generally fine as well).

I currently use TekTonic for my VPS, on which I host several websites. *I* don't use cPanel, although I understand that TekTonic provides for it. (I just ssh into my VPS and manage it via the Linux command line.) I don't know what TekTonic phone support is like, since I have never used it -- I use their Web/Email ticket system, which has always been very responsive, so I am *guessing* their phone support would also be very responsive.
