Generalizing is a tricky thing, the jack of all trades master of none only rings half true, the truth is if you focus entirely on one aspect your skill level is going to shoot right up in that one aspect, if you focus on many aspects it will take you so much longer, even if you are a self described polymath such as myself…
With a choice between necroposting, or posting a duplicate topic, I chose the former as there is some good info in here worth bumping. I thought it'd be something familiar to many people here, and mine has been getting really bad of late, so have been looking for solutions that don't mean I have to quit my job haha. It's…

In the past I’ve either had a fairly generalist portfolio, or the chosen designs were not visually strong. I’ve reflected a lot lately, and decided to push forwards with a stylized…
CCleaner is absolutely excellent. And I don't know why people think cleaning your registry is something you can neglect....that's ridiculous. Neglecting your registry after having installed and uninstalled programs over the years can absolutely destroy your pc's performance, and bring up constant needless dialogs about…
Three Words... or two and a number.... Macbook Pro 13" I bought one earlier last year and it is hands down the greatest laptop I have ever owned, (about 3 Mac laptops and a few Windows laptops over the years). Build quality is incredible, OS X is obviously rock solid as an OS, and of course you can dual boot Windows (or…
Yep, this topic has been discussed many, many times before across the Internet, and frequently here on PC... yet it's still one of the first questions most newcomers ask so you can be forgiven :D It's a heavily debated topic, but it's probably worth getting a good handle on Max or Maya early on since that's what you'll…
I do use Linux everyday for 8 years now. OS wise, you'll have to learn how the system works and it's going to be a bit tough the first few weeks because it's quite different than mac OS and windows, mainly because it's not an all-in-one package.
