Comment on Some interesting Adobe Illustrator scripts I’m going to maybe use soon by pawan

Hi Javen,

I am trying to find out a way to run illustrator in automation. I would appreciate if you could give me some pointers.

The use case is
1. we will have an .ai template file (.ait) with variables defined
2. we can create and xml file with the data & variables using a web page or web server (php)

We would like to invoke the illustrator, give the path of ait, xml file path, and would like to get an .ai out of it. so if it can be run at command prompt or can be initiated using php.

Regards,
Pawan

I feel vindicated. If only I could let the bitchy out on the people/tasks that ’cause it . . .

Comment on The Friday Cool: Clear lens facial piercings by arktaos

looking at that photo and being a piercer and body modification enthusiast, I can say that it is 100% fake picture! look at how far down her top teeth would be. Way too long for a human. Other indications of falsehood can be seen in the dimentions and angle of the bottom teeth/inner lip area. I could believe that this percon has an accessory there but it looks more like a piece of jewelry with a nice picture on it.

Comment on Confidence v. Doubt by Martin

Taken to the other extreme, i.e. not sure of anything, it can be equally debilitating. I see it where the “fog of war” paralizes people. They want to wait until they are positive about something before taking and so remain inactive. At some point you have to say “I accept these assumptions until proven otherwise” and act on them. It is the balance between the “accept” and “until proven otherwise” that the fanatics and inactive lumps have the trouble with.

Comment on A guy tries to rein in expenses for a month… by Martin

The small animal vets really ream you. Mostly because they can. People have a significant emotional attachment to their pets. So cost of IVs, pills, etc all significantly more over cost than a large animal vet could get away with. Because, unless you are from Montana or Scottland, livestock is a business and not an emotional attachment.

Yeesh! What with things coming in threes, you’d better drive carefully so you don’t end up with more car repairs!
