DDC vs. ADOBE INTERNAL, Day 04 - "DDC File Hand-Off Checklist."

April 29, 2010

Nebraska is a big state. Every cornhuskin' mile we make is a well-earned mile chipped of this stretch of I-80. We left Cozad this morning, heading for that Wyoming border.And late last night, we got a wild hair and did our best to make our very first "DDC File Hand-Off Checklist."You know, for that crucial moment right after the client approves the stuff, and it's time to send it to them, or to a vendor, or wherever. Well, I always think I'm remembering everything, and then I'll get some call from some yahoo in a prepress room somewhere whining about how they don't have the latest version to open my file, or how I forgot to link something, or whatever the hell...which stops the process dead in the tracks.So we fought back last night, and made a list.Check it out over at the Adobe INSPIRE blog. Go there, with a click here: "DDC vs. ADOBE INTERNAL, Day 04 - DDC File Hand-Off Checklist."It's a monster post. Quite a mouthful. Yikes. Hope you dig it.- - - -HANDS DOWN, THE BEST RECORD STORE IN NEBRASKA: Antiquarium Records.Hell, maybe the best record store in the entire Midwest, and continental United States, for that matter? Great prices, great selection. The last time Leigh and I rolled through Omaha, I broke the bank on this place, leaving the state with a stack of vinyl. Same thing today. So much cool shit. Dropped a couple C-Notes, and could care less. I got three Coctails records for 15 bucks! So awesome. So Archer.Hell, I even found that Pavement Record Store Day fan tracklist thing that got snatched up so quickly on the big day. It's going for 60 bucks on fleaBay now, and I got it for 15 bucks at Antiquarium. Thanks, fellas. Such a great shop.Some of the other records I got today:01. Reverb Motherfuckers - Route 66602. TransAm - s/t03. Jackonuts - s/t04. Buffalo Tom - Birdbrain05. Unrest - Perfect Teeth06. Boss Hog - Girl+ EPSo locked in those early '90s, and so contented!
