I got a tweet today from another graphics guy with a link to a site called Blissfully Domestic that is giving away an Epson Artisan 800 printer! The Epson Artisan 800 can take a perfect photo, edit it, and make a beautiful Hi-Definition print so quick you’ll think you’ve been dreaming! Simply plug your camera’s memory card in the printer, edit on the touch screen and print a stunning photo. It’s butta baby!!!

So we can all read about why its great, but let me tell you why I would love to have this printer… For one, Im a graphic designer. I have a number of projects coming through and I need a new printer… I used to have an Epson when I was in school and I loved it. The Epsons are superior in quality in both printing and construction. They work well and they print even better! I have certainly been a fan of them and hope that ill be the happy owner of one soon!

But it’s not just for me… My girlfriend is quite the domestic diva herself! She works at a local rehabilitation center teaching disabled children and is responsible for all of her class room decorations and projects which means she is ALWAYS on the computer at home and ALWAYS printing out new pictures and projects for the children. One of her last projects included doing a CD presentation for the parents and printing out photos of the children for the parents as well. Typically after work she will be on the computer doing project work for the next day for a few hours each evening… printing, cutting and piecing together new and exciting ideas for her students! In her free time she is a scrap booker… she has a number of books going all the way back to when she was in school! She has done numerous books with her kids over the years and of course has done personal scrapbooks as well. She even has a huge kit that fits into this suitcase type of bag to keep all of her materials safe and in good shape!

Being able to win an awesome printer like this would not only help me, but help my girlfriend and her daily school work and scrapbook regimen! I Wanna Win The Epson Artisan 800! =)

Today I came into work and began reviewing projects for the day. My ongoing company website project looks like it will be taking the majority of my time over the next few weeks. To my surprise this morning I tried to login to the Admin area of the site and was quite frustrated that I couldn not remember the login/password… at least that’s what I thought had happened. Now I don’t claim to have a mind like a steel trap, however, I’m fairly certain of all passwords and combinations therein that I use so when I got an error, I had to dig deeper.

I hit the “forgot password” link and entered the email address and there is was:

The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function

Well, I was positive that my host hadn’t disabled this function and I thought I could potentially take care of anything if I could get back into the admin area… After a good bit of searching I found a post on Resetting Your Password through phpMyAdmin. After following through the process I went back and logged in successfully to address possible plugin and comment conflicts.

I haven’t totally solved the issue yet, but hey, Im in and I got my password working again!

This is a post to go along with Hongkiat’s post of 100 Greatest Abstract and Grunge Fonts. You can check out the posting and view the font list here. While viewing the site I mentioned how I would like to be able to have the collection and after seeing a few other post about a collection, I decided to grab the fonts and put them together. Thanks to Hongkiat for putting together such an awesome list!
