  1. make sure that the carriage isn't pressing down on one of the kill switches (the red buttons on the left and right side of the cutter). If it is pressing down on one of them - power off the cutter, and manually (gently) move the carriage away from the switch.

    ditto. but if you have HBO or any of the "premium" cable channels, then I'd just wait for that to watch the movie. I didn't think it was even worth the money for a rental.

    Okay ... I'm wishing that someone had warned me that the movie kind of sucked. And to make matters worse, I bought it on Blu-Ray thinking it would might be a "must have". Alas, it turns out that it's a "why the heck did I waste my money!? " Stupidity run amok (sigh).
  4. Doesn't that kind of weeding promote carpal tunnel or something?

    Dude, did you actually sit thru the whole thing? We still have lots of stuff still in boxes from the move, but the boyfriend went on a hunt to dig out the PS3 just so we could waste our time with this lousy movie. About a half hour in, he ditches me and goes to bed. As soon as I heard him snoring I dumped the movie and started watching Adult Swim. Hey - does anyone know if I can return the "not even watched once" movie back to Best Buy because it sucked that bad?
  6. Now that's a true test of weeding patience. Hmm... I already know that I don't have that kind of patience.
  7. I try to barter if all else fails, or if I know my client is hurting for cash or something. My significant other gets upset when I do stuff like that. I tell him it's just my way of earning brownie points to be redeemed at some future point in time. I can honestly tell you that he was so surprised when I told my friends and family and almost every single one of them offered to help in some way - and they weren't token offers. I asked him who volunteered from his friends and family. He only got one offer from a cousin ... then when we called him to let him know the move date - he didn't bother returning our calls or showing on move day. I might not always work for money, but I do feel well rewarded for I'm able to do for others, even if it means spending my last penny on someone else. I did partial (some cash, some product) barter for a website. End result was that he thought I'd be willing to take my entire payment in car care products. He wigged out at the bill and told me that some of other distributors (of the same product) managed to get their (e-commerce) websites up and running for under $100. I told him to find out who did that for them, because I have LOT of clients that would love to tap into that resource, and proceeded to ask why he didn't get them to do his site as well. He shut upI took whatever money he was willing to write the check for, then cut ties. I got a tiny fraction of the time and skill I put into the website.

    importing to signblazer

    have you tried to vector it before importing to SBE?

    Vector Magic

    That's because you have no idea how many images some of us need/want to convert on a daily basis. There are days when all I do is convert a LOT of images to vector to build-up my graphics database.

    Website design

    So while we're doing some slick unofficial promotion... I can do design and hosting. If anyone is interested, let me know - I'll be more than happy to provide a link for very affordable hosting
  14. I'd be curious to know how long your LP last when you're cutting the magnets. Even if you could cut all the way through, what about what Joe said ... "It needs a backing to make stuff stay in place." Doesn't that mean that there would be some kind of interference because of the material not adhering to a backing so that it just doesn't run amok?

    Is it me?!?!

    BJ - You're the bomb! Such a wordsmith. My friends and family usually make fun of me when I use my "twenty-dollar words." How was I to know that I sounded geek??
  16. Not that you'll be needing one in the immediate future, but the cutting strip is replaceable.

    Electrical shock?

    what's death compared to cutting anyway?

    how do i do this

    usually if you right click on the file and select properties, it will tell you what kind of graphic file it is. just be aware that even if it is an .eps (Encapsulated Post Script) file, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a vector version of the graphic (which is what the cutter requires).

    New movie

    Ohh Jenny - you're starting to show your age if you remember the original series. I don't know if I'll see this version of Hulk either. The last one sucked. Isn't that a total slam to last movie producers that a few years later there's another Hulk movie (that's not considered a sequel - because who would waste money seeing another bad Hulk movie)? Although, you really can't deny the box office cash.

    cast iron tub question

    what are the 'old school' cast iron tubs coated with?? Enamel or porcelain? (or is it one in the same?) our 'new(er)' house has a cast iron, and I don't think I'll be able to get it out of the house (no one wants to labor to get it out), so I thought I'd better get it as close to white and looking brand spankin' new as possible. What's the best thing to clean this beast? It just seems like it's got some serious soap scum, but I will admit that it does add for traction. Regardless, I don't bathe in this tub (it has not shower) but would at least give the appearance of keeping a tidy house http://midpacsolutions.com/emoticons/thumbs.gif. I'm sure I'll have more off topic questions regarding the downstairs shower, but I thought I'd start with the upstairs first I'm guessing that this stuff can withstand the full strength of comet and ajax, and not have to worry about soft scrub or the non-abrasive stuff. Is it worth hitting it with a s.o.s. steel wool pad? Any input is appreciated.

    etched glass window clings

    Well I guess if I were looking for this, than no cutter is necessary beyond a pair of scissors or a sharp razor blade Nice stuff though.

    Bitmap image

    What kind of image are you looking for in particular? There are two kinds of images: raster and vector. Vector is the type that the cutters require. Tell us what graphic you're looking for, and someone should be able to post a vector version of it here for your to download and cut - provided that it's not a difficult request.

    anyone have bada bing vector

    If it's the one with the hoochie mama under it, then I would post the request under the Mature section. I couldn't find any other "Bada Bing!" types of graphics.
