I have a client that desperately needs to have someone do some on spec contract web design specifically doing emails for the different email campaigns that they have going on. Not spam stuff it is on an opt in news list and already has someone that can send the email and manage the lists. This would be making changes to the website and doing the email campaign html pages. Whoever does this has to be responsible and can communicate and be on time with the work. The problem they have now is the current people take too long and have bad customer service. The website is

I do freelance web design & development for small businesses (experience with HTML/CSS/JS, as well as Wordpress), but I don't do spec work. Have some experience with managing email campaigns in the past as well. If interested, I can send a link to examples of my work.

I asked the guy he said you had not called yet. I think I might try to go for all the IT stuff at that place and manage it so if I get that gig I will post again. If you want to call him anyway just to introduce yourself tell him Chris Brockman referred you he is a good person to know. He might know someone else that wants what you can do and if you mention me he will talk to you.

I called Thursday and Scott's brother picked up and said he wasn't in and to try his email, and that he will let Scott know I called. Ended up emailing Scott right after but haven't received a reply. Not really sure, but it's possible the email just ended up in spam or something. Will call again Monday to see if I can talk to him. Here's hoping you get the gig!

I sent your resume in like a freaking Boss! Waited for the right time and sent it in. Hopefully they will be calling you. Looking for someone to do the HTML in the campaign emails and help in the website design for those email targets. The tool they use to send mails is pretty easy to use so I am doing that but all the design stuff is out there. I hope can be in on the call if they make it. You have a nice resume they should call you.

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
