Hi everyone. I’m currently seeking a Mac Developer/Programmer that also has experience with Adobe development (specifically, Photoshop) for a very cool project I have in the works. As many of you might know, BittBox is a place for designers to come for freebies, tutorials, and recently, fonts. My ambition isn’t stopping there. I would very much like to develop some software that I’ve wanted/needed forever, and no one seems to be answering the call. So…I’m taking things into my own hands, and trying to stir things up and get something started. Details after the jump…

Just a quick shout out to the 2 lucky BittBox readers who came away with a free copy of the 3D Wall Flash Component, graciously provided by Flashloaded. Congratulations to Mike and Ricky T! I hope you get some good use out of the component. Thanks to everyone for participating, and thanks again to Flashloaded for making the giveaway possible.

If you’ve had trouble accessing BittBox in the past few days, I apologize. I’ve been with GoDaddy for over 5 years, and it’s had it’s ups and downs, but I just couldn’t take it anymore, so I got pissed and switched to (mt) Media Temple over-night. Here’s my story:

A few days ago I submitted a trouble ticket when some software on my GoDaddy server locked up, and a few hours later, they replied stating that they had resolved the issue, and charged me $75. Great……wait, what? My site doesn’t work anymore!

I hadn’t changed a single setting on my server and the BittBox homepage wouldn’t load. So I called GoDaddy again, and another 6 hours go by, and they tell me that it’s my .htaccess file that’s causing the problem. So, in a nutshell, not only was my site down, but I PAID GoDaddy $75 to f*ck it up. Awesome, right?

Adobe has just launched it’s much anticipated online version of Photoshop, dubbed Photoshop Express. It’s a Flash based editor, and has a noticeably small list of features compared to the real thing, however, that was to be expected with a web app Photoshop, especially the first run at it. The service is free and comes with 2G of storage space, as well as the ability to easily share your images around the web and import photos from some big name sites, like Facebook.

New Amsterdam is a new show on FOX, and I was watching it the other day and noticed that they used some of my Photoshop brushes during the opening credits. I was doubtful at first, but I did a little investigating, and sure enough, they are my brushes. I thought it was pretty cool to see, of all things, one of my Photoshop brushes on TV. The brushes they used are my High-Res Floral set, I released last summer. More after the jump.
