I just re-opened the website. I recovered some articles and tutorials. I will publish the missing tutorials in the following weeks.

____________________________________________________

Today I though I will have a heart attack. This morning I received an email from the company that hosts my website, PSD Box. This is the email they sent me:


Hello,

The account [link] is terminated due to violation of AUP.

Please refund remaining fees for period unused (subject to a minimum charge of 1 month service).

Don't hesitate to contact us if you require any further assistance.


I just purchased "a better" hosting plan with 200GB of space because my website was getting bigger. All in all, the space that I used until this day was about 400MB out of 200GB.

I was in shock and I was wondering why the hell they closed my website. I asked what exactly I did wrong and this was their response.

Dear Andrei Florin Oprinca,

So, in other words, this is the end of PSD Box. I was planing to add some awesome tutorials and resources there but it seems like it will not gonna happen. I still have the domain name until january or february 2011 but I will not remake the website. It's too much work that has been lost. I will not do it alone. If somebody wants to help me rebuild it it's welcomed, I will pay all hosting and stuff but I can't write articles and provide resources all by myself, not again, it's too much stress and too much work for a single person.

Damn, I invested so much time on that website

This was my last response to the hosting company

Well, that service is a shit in any case. I've never seen that before on any hosting company. What really hurts me is that I can't get a damn backup of my files. Those files are mine no mater what's you policy, you can't just delete people's files. I can't believe they didn't even make a backup for at least 24 hours. Its unacceptable. I'm gonna write a review on all web web hosting review sites. I'm so fucking pissed.
Have a nice fucking day cause I'm not.

I just opened my brushes website. I want to collect only the best brushes not only for Photoshop but also for Gimp, Paint Shop Pro and Illustrator.

Users are able to submit their own brushes and upload them using a submission form.

The difficult part will no be to get people to know the website and get users to upload their brushes.

If you want to show off your brushes and share them with the world, you are welcome. I would like to have as many contributors as possible.

This is the website -> www.starbrushes.net
Well I want to open a really cool brushes website, not only for Photoshop but actually also for GIMP, Paing Shop Pro, and Illustrator.

I will use Wordpress as platform, that's why I need somebody to help me customize the site template. I already have a couple of templates but since I don't know CSS and PHP, only by trial and error it's hard to work.

I already have the hosting and domain name selected, I just have to purchase them but until I have the actual site ready, I will not buy them.

The website will be something like qbrushes.net with submission form so that everybody will be able to upload his/her brushes.

If somebody is interested in helping me out and be part of the project that would be great. I already have a photoshop tutorials website here: [link]

At the moment, I can't pay anything, maybe 10 or 15$ for somebody that would help me with the PHP codes and styling. The default template will remain 90% the original, I only need to add a few thing, to adapt it. so that's not much work to do. With some basic skills of PHP, it can be done because I already made some editing on another template myself.

So, If somebody wants to help on the coding and customizing part of the job a swell as on managing the site, please contact me.
Every week I choose a deviant with great designs and I feature it on my website: [link]

This week, the featured deviant is Magdalena Smokrovic (aka esstera) a truly skillful artist. Her designs really impressed me from the first time I saw them and her technique of combining photo manipulation and digital painting is amazing. What is also amazing is the amount of details that she puts into her works and the quality of the finished images. The paintings that she makes are the best ones I’ve seen, maybe because I also like the themes that she chooses for them. I hope you like her artworks, it was really hard for me to choose 10 images from her gallery because they are all great. Visit her account for more images.

Esstera
Here are a few of her great designs, combination of digital painting and photo manipulation.

Hello everybody. As probably some of you already know,I have my own webside dedicated to design resources and tutorials: www.psdbox.com It's growing pretty fast actually but I would like to have more content. If you want to promote yourself this could be your chance.

I need people to write tutorials about design, blogs, SEO, photoshop...
or make compilations of resources from internet and publish posts.

There are some benefits involved. For more info check:[link]

Well I just created a Flickr group for my resources website [link]

All users that have a Flickr can join my Flickr group [link]
All art submitted to the group wall will appear on my website on the sidebar. It's a good way to get new traffic on your deviant art account.

My site is very new but I hope it grows fast. I upload tutorials, brushes and other resources as often as I can and if anybody wants to collaborate with tutorials or any other resources, that would be cool.

-- I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer.

-- Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize I was driving.

-- Wow, you must've been doing about 125 mph to keep up with me!

-- I was going to be a cop, but I decided to finish high school instead.

-- You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?

-- You look just like my girlfriend's deadbeat ex-husband.

-- The question is -- do YOU know why you pulled me over?

-- I was trying to keep up with traffic, and it's miles ahead of me.

-- If you have to ask if I've been drinking, I'm not going to tell you, dude.

-- It wasn't my fault -- when I reached down to roll this joint, my gun fell off my lap and got lodged under the brake pedal.

-- That's a sweet 9mm. You want to hold my .44 magnum?

-- If I'd known I was getting a full body cavity search, I would have waxed!

I keep saying that I update this and I never do it so instead I will post some very nice jokes, just read them.

Element Name: MAN
Symbol: XY
Atomic Weight: (180 +/- 50)


Physical properties: Solid at room temperature, but gets bent out of shape easily.  Fairly dense and sometimes flaky. Difficult to find a pure sample.  Due to rust, aging samples are unable to conduct electricity as easily as young samples.

Chemical properties: Attempts to bond with WO any chance it can get.  Also tends to form strong bonds with itself.  Becomes explosive when mixed with Kd (Element: Child) for prolonged period of time. Neutralize by dousing with alcohol.

Usage: None known.  Possibly good methane source. Good samples are able to produce  large quantities on command.

Caution: In the absence of WO, this element rapidly decomposes and begins to smell.

______________

Element Name: WOMAN
Symbol: WO
Atomic Weight: (don't even go there!)


Physical properties: Generally round in form.   Boils at nothing and may freeze any time.  Melts whenever treated properly.   Very bitter if not used well.

Chemical properties: Very active.  Often unstable. Possesses strong affinity for gold, silver, platinum, and precious stones.   Violent when left alone.  Able to absorb great amounts of exotic food.   Turns slightly green when placed next to a better specimen.

Usage: Highly ornamental.  An extremely good catalyst for dispersion of wealth.  Probably the most powerful income reducing agent known.

Caution: Highly explosive in inexperienced hands.
