The time has come, Adobe have completed their acquisition of Macromedia.

If you have not visited Macromedia's website recently, you might want to take a look at whats going on. Also, Adobe are now offering combined Macromedia + Adobe software packages.

Both companies have commented in the past that there customers should only expect little to be changed. It does mean that in the long term the likes of Freeland will be getting a fond farewell from many users and a big hello to Illustrator, and Go Live lovers will be introduced to its new big step brother of web dev, Dreamweaver.

I cant wait to see what happens, Adobe and Macromedia together can really pack a punch.

When I finish a project with a client I like to keep a copy of everything backed up / archived that was involved with that client so I can:

• Keep a backed up copy of emails sent/received
• Keep all my contacts backed up on disc per client
• Notes like FTP details / Printer contacts / Quotes / Invoices sent and Receipts
• Free up disc space
• Stay organised
• Save time when I have to find something

Sometimes when im working on a design, I try different ideas and it just doesn't feel right and I sometimes dont feel like asking someone for help.
