Way to go, America!

Even though I am a proud Canadian, I can’t help but feel both relieved and optimistic after seeing Barack Omaba win the US presidency by a landslide. Obama’s victory speech brought tears to my eyes. I want to congratulate the people of America, for getting out to vote and taking their country back from Republican mismanagement.

It's a sad day

It’s a sad day when I’ve been away from the online journal for long enough to allow me to forget the fucking login password. The day job has hammered me for the past several weeks, the last of which saw little to no sleep over seven days. I still can’t quite believe that over 4 days last week, I slept a grand total of six hours. I don’t recommend it. I have never felt so terrible and depleted. I still feel like a sack of shit. The only upside was some substantial remuneration.

Never again. It’s not worth the punishment.

I am looking forward to getting back to writing, although I still have to find secure work.

Convert Adobe Illustrator CS3 to generic EPS

Here’s a tip from my current work-related side of my life for anyone out there who hasn’t upgraded to the latest and greatest Adobe product, but has been handed an Adobe Illustrator CS3 .ai file. To convert to plain .EPS, you’ll need to download and install Inkscape. Then it’s just a matter of importing the Adobe Illustrator CS3 file, and exporting an .EPS file. I have to assume this works with CS2 and CS. I haven’t tried it with CS4. And if you have been given an Illustrator CS3 EPS file, there’s one more step. Just use Acrobat to convert the EPS to a PDF first, then load/save in Inkscape (as above).
