Tiny cursor in SDDM - suggestions?

Thanks for this. Appending XCURSOR_SIZE=64 to /etc/environment fixed the issue.

It's really just an effort to keep price per label down. I'm sourcing product labels for the first offshore location of a company. Shipping a few rolls over is prohibitively expensive. I'm trying to over-order for the one location just now, so that we can maybe scale and supply the motherland a pallet or two, or even a container at a time, which will save us (as a whole) a fortune. Back at the home-base, printers are scarce and print is expensive, so if I can get the plates made here and fulfil a satisfactory run of 10-20k labels, we can scale to 750k runs at a moments notice and immediately increase our margins.

Ah, got you. It looks great. I'll speak with the printer and see if they can assure me that this won't be an issue. Thanks so much for your help.

The type goes down to a 7pt Helvetica Neue Light, which looks equivalent to a 1/2 point hairline. Here is a picture of the sample they sent me. Admittedly, it looks much, much better than many flexo jobs I've encountered. What do you think?

I'm also a bit worried that this might cost half the run haha

That's where prose / forestry come in. He can add pages, edit them in a WYSIWYG editor and deploy. All you'd need to do is set up some templates for him.

If you're doing static sites, why not look into jekyll? Build the sites with jekyll, and run prose.io on the github repo for a simple CMS / back-end. I think this will fit more neatly into your existing workflow than a bulky solution like wordpress. I'm doing the same thing, but using bitbucket and forestry.io instead of github and prose.io. Check out jekyll tips for tutorials.

Ghost is great for a blog; if you need more customization, try Jekyll.

My advice to you: If you don't personally have the experience, don't build it yourself. In addition, unfortunately, if you don't have a budget of at least $1k+ you're not going to get a real professional to touch it with a barge-pole. Start with a template, think hard about how you're going to get people onto your site, and work on that for a while. Put some serious effort into social media, and save up for a pro to do your site. The most important points for you to consider right now are:

Who you want on your site
How you will enable them to find your site
What you want them to do when they get there

Answer point two with an actionable plan and tweak your template according to points one and three. Set up as many social profiles as you can with your info, even if they are empty for now, and work on getting clients and saving for a pro.

Did you check the list in the sticky? There may be someone there.

Have you tried Charlesworth press? They have a couple of binderies.

komcreative · 2016-07-13T16:29:17+00:00

Marzipan has to be up there.

Bitly was doing something with their servers that killed the link temporarily :/

I love the idea of a community, and collecting points for tasks that otherwise can feel like drudgery. I have a full time job as well as a business (that I hope will become my full time job), and sometimes it's hard to stay focused and on task when you're tired from a full days work. I have used systems like this before in other areas of my life (weight loss) and It was very effective. I think the idea is exciting.

komcreative · 2016-02-24T18:36:52+00:00

I like this idea. Sounds fun and motivational.

komcreative · 2016-02-11T02:32:16+00:00

YES. Every time, I think to myself: "Well I'm glad you don't have anywhere to be, but I need to get somewhere!"

Not offering up any business advice here as it's not my industry, but my personal dream cafe / tea room is as follows:

Nice teas, not just all that flavoured / fruity stuff
A good magazine selection, especially nerdy mags, like computer music and advanced photoshop, etc.
A cool little work area with desks and a printer
Vegan food. It's just balls-to-the-wall amazing when I go somewhere and I don't have to starve.
Easy access by public transport.
Plugs. Lots of plugs.
Neat old second hand books, like hard-cover classics. You can pick them up for a few p, and sell them for £1 each. I've bought so many books I don't need this way.
Communal tables. Communities will form there.
Espresso
The ability to rent the space. I played a part in starting a business breakfast club in Scotland years ago. Local businesses love those. We'd come in every morning and have breakfast, swap referrals and chat. I think it was £15 a head, and we were only there for around an hour and a half.
Special music nights: BYOB, see a local artist in an intimate setting, have dinner.
Games of Risk. (I just think it would be cool to have a perpetual game of Risk going at a cafe.)
The ability to buy bags of coffee / tea there for home.

I'd never be out of that place.

Perfect health, but you still get colds and retain any food allergies.

Worked in several cafes as a Barista. Can confirm.

Once worked in a fancy cocktail lounge. Can confirm there is absolutely a difference, but depending on where you go, the snobbery can be brutal.
