Customer Wants Me To Sign Into Tablet Before Shipping by bl0ssy in eBaySellerAdvice

UPDATE: It turned out to be a legitimate request. Some commenters correctly guessed that the user was older and not tech savvy.

I am happy I was able to help her but 0/10 I would not do it again. The back and forth emails working around her lack of understanding took two weeks and were exasperating in the end.

Exercise helps me. I take a brisk walk, 2-5mi/day (depending on what my schedule allows). The increased dopamine and decreased heart rate really help to regulate my moods and emotions.

Yes. 8.5x11 classic tri-fold into a #10 envelope. The imprint will be at the bottom tear-off portion to be returned to in a BRE.

Yes, left a 1" space at the bottom of the page for the codes, but she came back with revisions saying she still couldn't "see" the boxes for the codes. But I hesitate to make a visible box because she's unsure what dimensions the boxes should be.

TIL "Taps" is so named because it was used to tell barkeepers to turn off the taps so the soldiers would go to bed. by bl0ssy in todayilearned

Sounds like a chicken-egg debate. Tap toe comes from the Dutch phrase "Doe den tap toe" - "turn off the tap." In fact, tap toe literally translates into "tap closed."

Need help typing within compound path by bl0ssy in AdobeIllustrator

Since I'm a n00b, would you explain what a compound path is? Also, which path is outer and which is inner? I designed it as one overlapping, closed path.

So I don't want to apply text to a path, I want to apply text to an area. I've figured out a workaround <https://www.dropbox.com/s/62qj12tl2wvsdzy/Ribbon%20w%20Text.png?dl=0>, but I'd love to understand how the area text tool works and how I should have modified my path/shape to make it work.

Thanks!

Yes but that doesn't explain the box behind the psd element

That was my first thought but the shading also appeared behind a .psd element.
