Thank You To Stephen at Macsolv

Though most Mac users are problem solving vigilantes by nature, when it comes to server issues, donning the “Trouble-shooter” hat isn’t always the best idea. Yet, those of us who have built a Mac-based workflow have at times had to double as our own IT department. This is, in part, due to the absence of truly dedicated Mac specialists in the St. Louis area. Don’t get me wrong, there are certainly those who can sell them, many of us who are quite proficient at using them and some who can tinker around enough to provide a quick fix on occasion. This lack of expertise has for some time led us (and likely many others) to get creative in ways other than those we pride ourselves on as a design agency. Recently we had encountered an issue with cirumstances larger than what we were prepared to handle ourselves. We needed an expert. Enter Stephen Alison. Stephen is new to St. Louis, but quite seasoned when it comes to Mac environments. He runs a small, specialized consultancy called Macsolv. Take note: This is no PC guy in disguise. This is a bona fide Mac guru with the chops to prove it. Stephen is a former Systems Engineer for Apple, Inc., having held the ACSA certification since its introduction in 2003. He has also achieved ACTC 10.5 Certification and is an Apple Certified Trainer.  He has helped us with our needs in a fraction of the time that it has taken anyone else (including ourselves). If your workflow depends on your Macs running as efficiently as they can, we highly recommend you contact Stephen at Macsolv.

We want the Atomicdust blog to be a place where people can come and share their thoughts on marketing, design and how adorable they think our babies are, and leaving a comment allows you to do just that.

We will moderate the comments, and reserve the right not to post anything we deem inappropriate. That being said, we have created some guidelines to help ensure your post gets published:

Do: Be vocal
Share what you know. Ask about what you don’t.

Do: Spread the love
Feel free to share the posts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or wherever you play on the Internet. But if you could give us some credit, that would be nice. We work hard to write these posts... and want our fifteen minutes of fame.

Do: Watch your language
We’re all adults here (probably), but please, avoid using language that is obscene, vulgar, or lewd. (Lewd? That word just sounds gross.)

Don’t: Get all elementary on us
Spelling is hard sometimes. Please forgive people for their typos and spelling errors.

Do: Be like Honest Abe
No lies, please.

Don’t: Be like Kanye
TURN OFF YOUR CAPS. That is just annoying. (But not when Kanye does it. Then it is genius.)

Don’t: Be a hater
While we welcome criticism and open discussion, remember to be respectful. Make sure your comment is constructive and that it doesn’t offend, threaten or attack.

Don’t: Spam us
I’m sure that magic pill really works, but Atomicdust blog readers aren’t interested...
