It's almost official

[sylvar]

I've now got an occupational license ($11 for a half year), a Florida tax certificate, and an IRS employer ID number. I expect my employer will approve my official request for outside employment, since it doesn't conflict with their interests, and then I'll officially have a side business. I've already registered with CompUSA and Costco

i didn't know you couldn't upload your own photos. i know marshall and jennifer (different jennifer) upload their own logo, but maybe they pay more. i agree, a photographer who puts someone else's photo on his business card is a waste of silver.

that reminds me, i should probably install the canon software from my camera on the pc (yeah, i've only had it a year and a half). that whole stitch feature won't work without it. so, um, you can't use the canon software with the images from the cf reader? i thought the mac versions i got worked with files from any source (although i think the mac software was incomplete).

gallery is open source, you put it on your own server. there are no fees. although i guess a shopping cart would come with them, and if you host of course (our server is just in our dining room with the rest of the space heaters). i guess i wasn't thinking of contracted images (although it's a good place to put proofs or sell a service so that people can let their friends and family view online), so much as some of your other images that people could view online and purchase a print of and then get it in the mail from someone like shutterfly or ofoto. i know you like to use creative commons, but there's no harm in letting people give you money if they want to.
