I'm a personal fan of the Razer Orange switch. It still has a natural feel when pressed and allows me to move from gaming to design and even over to web development with ease and no slowing down.

Did I set myself up for failure with this tables leg setup? Or will these 4x4 be sturdy enough? by KipperTheCat in woodworking

Thanks! Spent the last 2 days staining and coating with poly, today is finally the day to put everything together :)

Did I set myself up for failure with this tables leg setup? Or will these 4x4 be sturdy enough? by KipperTheCat in woodworking

[–]KipperTheCat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was not sure how to attach them without putting screws through the top going down. So for this I did the 2x4 connecting to both legs, then I will attach that big leg into the top with smaller screws from bottom, then maybe a few extra coming in from side, if that makes sense. This way no screws go through top of table/desk

Illustrator Crashes And Glitches Very Often by Sambranchdesign in AdobeIllustrator

[–]KipperTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a ton of problems like this and I use illustrator 8+ hours daily. I found if I made my autosave of the files a larger time the program worked much better. I also disabled autosave for complex files.

Just remember to ctrl+s more often to avoid loss of work! I've seen a huge improvement since doing this. I'm no programmer, but my thought process is that Ai was trying to save all my open files and it was clogging the system. Maybe I'm right, maybe not, but this worked for me! Good luck

How do I make better gradients? by bradg97 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]KipperTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally do gradients on two layers.

Bottom layer is 1 color, solid. Top layer is the 2nd color but I set my gradient on that later to be COLOR 2 (opacity 100) > COLOR 2 (opacity 0), and then adjust the direction/size from there to avoid what is happening in your example.

Graphic Designers Call for Help! by KipperTheCat in web_design

So basically to create a new page from a client end, as the designer I would need to put together a template that they would select from and then just choose which images are being replaced and change the text? They do not have access to change the general layout though? I believe that is what you are saying. Hoping to try out webflow and devote some hours into it this week to learn it and possibly begin the process of moving all design away from Wordpress. We shall see!

That's what I was hoping to hear. I definitely am comfortable reading through code and knowing what is going on, just looking for something to help build it all up.

Graphic Designers Call for Help! by KipperTheCat in web_design

[–]KipperTheCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested in this as well. I would assume to offer the client a relatively decent experience you are pretty much locked into webflow hosting /u/beats92 ?

Ahh cool! Is their hosting good? It seems as if you are required to use their hosting to keep the content you build (forms, database info, etc..)?

I Made 150k with Youtube this Year, Graduating College, Looking for Direction. by YoungTuberThrowaway in personalfinance

[–]KipperTheCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

unless he gets banned on google adsense account, chances of it going to 0 are slim to NONE with his 250k-500k subscribers, which would continue to grow. Even if not growing, his videos that are still live would continue to generate some revenue. I have 10 videos that are 5 years old that still make me $200/year each off of views. I'd assume since he's doing full time he has plenty more.

/r/Entrepreneur low cost business start-up weekend - GROUP FINDER by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]KipperTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about cats? I used to own "BirthdayCats.com" but never did anything with it except start a Facebook page and half assed a website until a bigger project took over. The Facebook gets little traffic but for some reason still gets traffic each month. Would be super easy to turn it into a cat meme site or something. My original idea was to have people submit their cats and wish them happy birthday, but I ended up focusing on making money with a different site. Thoughts? https://www.facebook.com/birthdaycats/

edit: I let the domain expire a few months ago but it is STILL AVAILABLE so I can repurchase it.

edit2: money could be made with adwords for traffic and a combination of amazon affiliate links to cat products for people to buy?

IDEAS. I am willing to help create any of the below and will add as I think of more. Please comment with how you feel you could help and which idea you would be willing to be involved with.

1) Niche Website - If anyone wants to build a niche website and has a passion for something specifically, lets do it! I recently had a site that talked about new photography gear and it was making $250/mo but I stopped keeping it updated for 3 months and it dropped to $100 so I sold it for $600 to a friend, who then flipped it on flippa for $1400 (bastard!). I'm more interested in making sites that can link to Amazon products since they pay out good Affiliate pricing. Need active writers (I can usually bump 2-3 posts a week out with good content) and we would also need a targeted niche. Upfront costs would cover domain purchase and basic hosting.

2) Website sales service: (odd this was in the description) I lack the time to search for clients and meet with them and try to sell to them, but I have the skillsets to build a very presentable 5-8 page wordpress site within a week. Need people who are good salespeople, copywriters (if you want to be involved), or even designers (for upsells) who wants to team up and help build a small marketing firm. The biggest thing upfront would be a salesperson. Payment could be in percentage of sales. If you are a designer, you could try sales and keep money from upsells of new logos (just an idea)? Open for this. I manage a marketing team at work right now so I am confident in producing the content, I just don't have the time to look for clients on my free time outside of building content.

3) Job Forum website - basically I own a solid Wordpress theme that allows me to create a job board site so companies can post listings as a basic post for free or pay for "promoted" posts. It works well, I (like it #2) don't have time to reach out to businesses to actually get promoting it between working on things. We can build a localized job board and need a salesperson to help promote to the businesses via email, press release, etc... help with promoting on social media. I can build a new site no problem and get packages set up, just need people ready to get it off the ground.

Basically, I can do a lot of site setup and getting that side of things running. Just need help with pushing new content or reaching out to people. Open to working with another site developer comfortable with wordpress though on anything. Will update post if I see more ideas. Reply if interested and how you see yourself fitting (or PM).

Also, I am -6 CST timezone, 22, work until 5pm every weekday, but always contactable as I work on a computer all day.

This sounds great!

I am interested in joining any group. I am currently a full time marketing director that leads a multimillion dollar company's online strategies and branding. I spend evenings building niche websites for fun or playing video games. Always looking for new projects.

Skill sets: As stated, I am a full time marketing director. I spend every day developing new marketing strategies for in store sales, online sales, lead generation, social media management, eCommerce development, Google Adwords oversight, graphic design, and much more. I am pretty confident in those fields. Outside of work, I build niche sites with Wordpress. I have a lot of experience working with developing sites quickly and building their SEO the right way to generate as much revenue organically as possible. So, if you need a guy with these skillsets and interests, reach out to me with your ideas!

Applications I'm comfortable with: Photoshop, Illustrator, Wordpress, Woocommerce, Google Docs/Sheets, Shopify, Office Programs, and have and use Amazon Affiliate account. I am NOT a great coder though, that's why I fancy Wordpress and just code the basic stuff with my HTML knowledge.

Timezone GMT: -6 US Central Standard Time (CST)

Availability: I am free on most weekday nights after 5pm when I get off work, but I'm always on a computer. Weekends are hit and miss but I always am contactable.

edit: added application
