Server, Web app and task

Few months back, I got a call from a client (who is also a friend). He is looking for an online printing business. Things like printing business cards, vouchers, promotional umbrellas and etc. Well, I did not charge as much as I should or usually do, looking at the angle that he is, after all, a friend.

Server

Now, since I’m a web designer in this one, I outsourced the back-end and come back to front-end this few weeks. We are heading to the finishing though, the biggest problem now is… VPS – Virtual Private Server.

I proposed a Dedicated Server before, however, due to the budget, they choose to go with VPS. However, the question is this: How to control a VPS?

As far as I am clear with is that, there is option to install Ubuntu server, which I am familiar working with. What I am troubling to see is, how do I taking the full control over the server itself…

Doing design in Ubuntu

Just when I thought I couldn’t do good design without Adobe Photoshop, this morning, I proved myself wrong :)
We design in Ubuntu on GIMP
I told myself to learn it few months back, but I didn’t get the chance. Mainly because I got other stuffs to do and I have a Macbook with Photoshop installed with me. So the first reaction when encountering design was “What the heck, just go to Macbook“. Then today, I don’t have Macbook or any Windows system, has been purely depending on my Ubuntu system.

I must say, the process is quite time taking. Design a simple site can take up 2 hours, not to mention some element is almost impossible to create, but I still able to create a satisfaction design though. Have to polish up and push myself to work with GIMP for a little while :) Gonna save my resources next time.
