A number of times now I have had to relocate the link to set up google apps standard or google apps basic (the free version of google apps) on a few domains. So I figured I would post the link here to save me in my searching. I’m sure it may be helpful to others as well.

Google Apps Standard: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html

Whenever I go to the Google Apps site I always find the premier edition no problem, they hid the free version link real well. Sneaky little googlers!

I have decided to teach myself C# so I can create games using XNA. WOOT!

I have a good start and will hope I can develop a game for the XNA constest where I can hopefully win (with a lot of luck) and get a small game published.

I am currently developing a website build that anyone will be able to use. You will be able to develop a site just like mine here. It is currently in the works and is being worked on in whatever free time I may have. Time is hard to come by though for I am working on school projects and working 65~70 hours a week.

With the builder you will be able to create your own webpages, adjust the position, backgrounds, font colors, menus, and well… just about anything else.

I’ll keep posting the updates.

If you have ever had problems getting a nice deep black with Adobe Illustrator, you’re not the only one. When generating pdfs if you have your standard black color set to #000000 your black may come off a little different than expected, it will loose its richness and not be true black.

To get a true rich black in Adobe Illustrator, use the following:

Cyan: 50
Magenta: 40
Yellow: 40
Black: 100

The same color stands true for anything meant for print, whether it is in InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, or Quark. If you need that deep, rich black, you need to use the above CMYK color. Do not use 100% Black as this will give you undesired results.
