William S[chat]tner Exchataganza

Maybe I'll rename it later,

but on the other hand, William Shatner.

Fugitive

Yay new chat thread with a play-on-words title!

Well if you change your mind there's always Arthur Fonzarelli's [CHAT]ty Days.
Even though the fonz is a dick.
William Shatner and Captain Kirk (both retro and modern) however, is totally awesome.

No matter how I save this PDF, it keeps coming out very slightly blurry. AGRHAGRH! I guess I'll have to deal with it, unless I want to embed the font and make the file size ridiculously massive. pewp :C

Mustang

You sure it's not just a monitor/video driver thing?

bombardier

Forbe, contact a newspaper? From there get in contact with a printer or paper supplier?

I don't think so...I checked on my roommate's computer, and it's the same deal. It's not too bad - I just like things to be very sharp and clean

Also, wahoo! Resume is now on my site. (Comes with a downloadable slightly-blurry pdf version! Woo!)

Yay for progress! I can check two things off my list for website updoots.



[edit] I need to check other browsers/compooters for any displaying-bugs, but I don't foresee any popping up. Seemed like pretty straightforward CSS.

I've only seen one internet april fools joke so far.....worst internet april fools ever.

QuestionMarkMan

So, once I get this short done, I'm thinking I'm going to make a thread for it and also use it as a general filmmaking help thread since there isn't really one in the AC.

That ok?

Mustang

I can't employ you with this slightly blurry resume Jennifer. Go to the back of the unemployment cue.

I guess I'll have to find another candidate to fill the Director of Making My Lunch position.

*hangs head, shuffles feet to back of line*

Also, while checking to see if my counter was logging my visits, I noticed you'd downloaded the resume! Pretty cool stuff. My counter site added a "downloads" section, where you can see how many people downloaded certain items. I didn't have anything up there, until now! Thanks for bein' the first tester.

Maybe it's one of those 3D puzzle resumes. If you cross your eyes a bit, do you see a sailboat?

What program are you exporting the .pdf from? I always have done mine in OpenOffice, and I come out with nice clean .pdfs. It looks like what program you're using is just converting everything into a raster image.

Iruka this is an excellent title.

You're welcome, the only thing I'd change is "provided ample customer service" to "provided quality customer service" or just "provided customer service" in your work history. It doesn't really matter, but ample makes it sound like you provided customer service, but didn't really go out of your way or anything, you may have even "accidentally" tripped a guy up at some point, but in all fairness he was being kind of a dick.

NightDragon

Meh.
[edit] dammit, my mom mentioned that too just now, haha...fiiiiine, I guess I'll change it.

I'm starting off with a rasterized image, anyway. But the process of making the pdf (either through Photoshop, or through Adobe Acrobat, even) seems to compress everything a lot more than I'd like, and blurrify it all. I've tried messing with settings and resolutions and qualities and everything else. Still happens.

I'm sure the fact that I'm starting with a (sharp, higher rez) rasterized image brings up a lot of follow-up questions, but I don't feel like typin' out my reasonings right now.

Angel_of_Bacon

Eh, since you don't feel like explaining I guess I won't ask the obvious question, ("why??"), but I would think that after you find you have to update your resume every 6 months or whatever, dealing with a resume done entirely as a photoshop document is going to get real old real quickly.

NightDragon

When that day comes, I'll change the way I make it. Right now it works just fine for me.

Photoshop automatically rasterizes everything, even if you print to Distiller. You need to make it in InDesign if you want vector text.

School ends in less than a week, and then I get to hit my Krav Maga training pretty hardcore so I can become an instructor. My instructor wants me to become one, and he's letting me attend the saturday workshops for free!


So excited!

Can a sandwich made by a sandwich artist really be considered art during the short period of it's existence?
Does it cease to be art after the first bite or the last? Or does it's 'art' never die, merely injecting it's art into the cells of the living? Can the sandwich be thusly considered 'pre-living art'?

These are the deep questions that trouble me this afternoon at work.......yes, my job really is that boring.

Mustang

I was thinking about doing Krav Manga at one stage, but those guys look hard as fuck, like i'd run a very real risk of dying during the first lesson.

The deadly art of smacking people with japanese comic books?

God damnit, that's at the top of the page too.

It's not for sparring, it's for killing. Just bring them down and get the fuck outta dodge.


I was forced to take it up after I had two separate instances of people trying to stab me between January and February this year.

And now i'm going to be an instructor. That worked out pretty well.

You know, if you hadn't said anything I would have thought it was an intentional misspelling and I was being a dink by not taking it as a clever pun.

I also would have accepted:
Krav Magpie
Krab Mega
Kravat Mullah
Krava Baba Yaga

So i'm going to a tropical themed breakfast tomorrow morning
all I can think is "I was really into Hawaiian shirts at the time..."

The take down of a pickachu isn't as simple as it looks. It requires years of training.

I don't know a fucking thing about manga, someone help me out here.

Angel_of_Bacon

No.

You mean this year as in 2009 not 2010? Otherwise you became an instructor in under a month?


Also, I checked out the website of the local Krav Maga place, and it sounds like they exercise you until your asshole falls out of your mouth. My body just can't endure that much punishment, walking up a flight of stairs and back down again is about the limit of my endurance.

Angel_of_Bacon

You'd probably be able to find a more reputable school in your area anyway if you stuck to a more traditional Australian martial art, like kangaroo boxing or crocodile wrestling.



Ha ha! Just kidding, Australians!

(please don't chain me to the back of your ute and drag me through the desert, leaving my remains to the horrible, horrible rabbits.)

Nineteen Hundred

I have a friend who was in the IDF. I should ask her to teach me how to kill people at some point. Or do they only teach Krav Maga to the Israeli Special Forces?

No, as in training to become an instructor.

I don't undergo the trials of hell till April 2011 (9 days from 5 to 9 with no breaks, where they'll come at me with everything from knifes, guns, baseball bats and whatever else). And I have to do that twice before I get the title.


EDIT: KV was designed for the Israeli army and the Special Forces unit, but was modified so that everyday people could learn it. Depends entirely on the area where you live whether you can take it up or not.

Glassing is generally considered our premier national martial art.
The only problem is that it requires you to be at a bar and at least partially drunk, so it's not exactly versatile.
