Sometimes it takes a good result after a struggle in the office to get things looking better again.
Had a complete nightmare today trying to get these files for DK to open.
Actually, I am wondering why they feel the need for a new edition of their World Atls, which is a pretty stunning publication already??
ANyway, what do I know.

I tried for an hour at least to find a copy of Illustrator CS online. CS notice, not the new version CS2.
It is VERY HARD to buy old versions of software. Recently old, I mean.
Emailed MDVS and b*gger me if he didn't have a copy, and duly turned up with it a couple of hours later. Mid afternoon.
This was after I'd given up using Jo's machine last night. Too slow.
And in the way of course as she came back from the office today with a suntan and some biscuits.
CS duly installed on my machine - turns out to be older than the version the files were created in, and the import went all haywire!!!
Battled with this for another hour, and then finally tracked down a patch on Adobe's webshite which upgraded my version from 11.0.0 to 11.0.2 and voila! all is good.
Still occasionally unstable, but I can work with that.

This is particularly good because now I can work at my desk on my own machine DURING THE DAY TIME!! In the office now getting the ball rolling, but I have all day tomorrow to crack into it.

And news today that another example of my work has gone live online
Dee Caffari's Homecoming (The aviva challenge)
Click on the downlaod map of Ocean Village. That's me that is.:D

Funny, I am so NOT into sailing - oh, the irony of a VIP invite to Sunday's event !!

Got the Cocteau twins on. That's working well.
Ice Pulse is one of their best efforts.
Lullabies to Violaine is a wicked compilation.

Feeling better.
Sometimes working late and doing stuff of an evening puts it all out my head.
