Jill Peck, an Interior Design Society Associate based in Naples, FL, came to our office in July 2008 looking for professional help to make a web site for her decor business, Decor In A Day. We had quite a productive chat —Jill impressed me as a very organized person—, and she left the office with my promise of getting back to her as soon as possible.
Once we studied her target, local and Internet competition, along with her current business cards and brochure, we decided on our course of action. There was no mark, or logotype, on the former marketing material she left to us, so we decided to surprise her by creating a new logo and business cards, without increasing the budget already approved for the web site.
When Michael, a Fort Myers, Fl, based businessman entered our store for the first time, it took just seconds for him to take over the place: He introduced himself, everybody shared a little story, he laughed, he talked, we laughed, he convinced us to buy 22 lb. of meat-in-a-box for 120 bucks.
But we were already in a mission the moment we saw both his introductory brochure—a mess of black tint printed on both sides of a rather intense blue colored paper—and his, ahem, peculiar business cards. We let him know we wanted to help him to get more business.
I think it is great to be involved with entrepreneurial young women creating businesses based on their call. For Vanessa, her call comes from a long family tradition: A fashionable shoe family business back in the land of her parents, Brazil. She wanted to start her own business, and she knew she needed some marketing material to introduce her first models to the market. She jumped to the web and found GraphicBiz.
I like to think that we clicked immediately. We exchanged some ideas, she asked all possible questions, both agreed on terms, and we set some goals. The project was underway that same day, and she left the office with a promise of having everything ready on time.
Dana visited us bringing an exciting project: She was building a restaurant to rock Naples and probably all Southwest Florida. The name was on target, On The Rocks.
Oh, how we enjoyed working together, brainstorming all the possibilities a business such as this one would bring to the entertaining scene back in 2007: A formal restaurant immersed in a rock band atmosphere, complete with rock legends decor, a band stage, and full bar.

At least for me, I mean. GD library is not installed by default with the Mac OS X 10.5.x Leopard Server and if you’re still reading, maybe you want it too.
Needing to provide several websites with the ability of creating images dynamically, I tried to install the open source code known as GD library on my Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard Server, following the instructions at Entropy – PHP, venerable helpful web site for Mac SO X users, maintained by Marc Liyanage, and found myself with an acting server software: Although my server is setup on Advanced Mode, when I uncheck the PHP5 module in Server Admin → Web → Settings → Modules tab, it gets back to checked a few seconds after hitting the Save button.

Finally, after years procrastinating, I decided to move the GraphicBiz web site entirely to CSS. Yeah! Read the rest of this story… »
At the same time, I’m also installing open source software to help in the publishing of notes and news about the activities and projects our small firm constantly embarks.
And we’re doing this live… oh no!
