@HoustonPress I must agree – it was a great show tonight! We had an awesome time! #DepecheMode in reply to HoustonPress #
@problogger good luck with the hand surgery! Carpal tunnel? I've had both hands done. So glad I did! Wish I hadn't waited! in reply to problogger #
@pumajen whew! Thanks for letting me know! I was about to go try to look it up to figure it out. in reply to pumajen #
@buttonsbows @alisonwaring we loved Le "Rishie-Lu!" while we were there! Really good times, awesome place! in reply to buttonsbows #
@alisonwaring the place is quiet, not in the heart of bar scene, easy to walk places in the Quarter, and it has a pool! in reply to alisonwaring #
@cinnachick I'm happy to do a house swap. 46 in Chicago sounds divine! I'm so over the 90+ degree heat! But it was beautiful out tonight. in reply to cinnachick #
@pumajen Scary indeed! I hope they catch the person soon!!! in reply to pumajen #
@buttonsbows @alisonwaring I was talking about your poolside marriage while I was there! And the free parking is a BIG savings + handy! in reply to buttonsbows #
@craig563 Eeeeeeee!!! Just saw the iPhone P.O.T.D. — congratulations to you guys! So excited for you!!! in reply to craig563 #
@hegwer Wood. White. Or whatever color you want. in reply to hegwer #
RT @boobiethon Wanna help out at this year's Boobie-Thon? The volunteer sign up is now open! http://bit.ly/cPRPS in reply to boobiethon #
@pinkletoes Just an FYI (public because I can't DM you) – the links in the blog post don't work. I think they are missing /blog/ in them? in reply to pinkletoes #
RT nicolesyRT @leggnet: Running Photoshop CS3 on a Mac and considering Snow Leopard? You might want to read this: http://bit.ly/14g2t0 #
In other words – Snow Leopard might only cost $29, but making my PhotoShop software break will cost another $699. Thanks, but no. #
Update: @mschulz has CS3 running with Snow Leopard, even though all research I have done says it won't. Glad to hear he was able to do it! #
@ottorascon Yes, but since CS4 came out in 2008, they want us to upgrade instead of supporting an old product. in reply to ottorascon #
@aliceeric I'm waiting. I want to close Twitter, but I want the answer first! *grin* in reply to aliceeric #
@HrotkoPhoto @ottorascon @nissanicole I was told by @mschulz and @damonnoisette that CS3 runs just fine. Nothing to worry about. in reply to HrotkoPhoto #
First Thursday Photographer gathering at the studio THIS WEEK! 7-9pm. @aliceeric will you be joining us? Hope so! Who else is in? in reply to aliceeric #
@MainlineMom I think our topic is going to be pricing. Trying to map out future months tomorrow to make sure that is the best fit. Ideas? in reply to MainlineMom #
@ronnieruiz Yep, I corrected my tweet as soon as @mschulz pointed out that he uses CS3 without issue. Thanks for letting me know! in reply to ronnieruiz #
@KatForsyth Make an appointment with an ophthalmologist. (The medical doc, not the eye exam doc.) Your med. ins. will cover. in reply to KatForsyth #
Confession: since doing updates, I've become a big-time traffic stat junkie for http://bigpinkcookie.com and http://christinetremoulet.com #
RT @gracerodriguez Don't confuse working hard with working smart. W/out strategy & plan, you can spin your wheels all day & just get nowhere #
Just sent an email out for the First Thursday Photographer meetup in Houston on 9/3/09 at 7pm. Want to join us? Let me know & I'll send info #

@eschipul Is that because of the Gamma 2.2 change in Snow Leopard, or something else? (I don't need dim screens. Ugh.) in reply to eschipul #
@jessicamerritt Yay!!! Hope you can make it, would LOVE to see you! Awesome!!! in reply to jessicamerritt #
@lauralwatson Nope, all photogs – pro or aspiring! (many are wedding, but not all!) DM me with your email address and I'll send it along! in reply to lauralwatson #

@sjalexander it was The Hub in Austin. Quite delicious! in reply to sjalexander #
Never miss a good chance to shut up. (via @giovanni) #
@lizvang @photojunkie me too! Part of nudge to blog more on BPC! And I took food photos for a post for @coffeemike! Loved Julie & Julia! in reply to lizvang #
"Advertising is the tax you pay for being unremarkable." -Robert Stephens, Geek Squad founder, acquired by Best Buy in 2002 (via @tferriss) #
@jcogliandro do you think some of those would be remarkable without advertising? Nike is just a shoe. VS is just bras and underwear. in reply to jcogliandro #
@jcogliandro absolutely everything they do is advertising driven, even if sponsoring, etc. Quote applies much more to small businesses. in reply to jcogliandro #
@jcogliandro also all of those companies are 20+ years old and global brands. Not niche or regional. in reply to jcogliandro #
@craig563 I know, right? A little BAM! for my mind this morning! in reply to craig563 #
All my plans for today shifted when I woke up and realized the Depeche Mode concert is tonight! Yaaaaaaaayyyy! Last saw them in 1990! #
Whoo hoo! Missing everyone in Austin, but happy to be back home in Houston! So nice to see @coffeemike and Jason before concert tonight! #
@jcogliandro really? I find them to be a common commodity, rarely remarkable at all. Also very different than service industry. in reply to jcogliandro #
@saroy the more I think about, I have to agree. But not all are really ready to eat. You could but they would taste gross. in reply to saroy #
Listening to Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode with Brittany on our way to the concert! We are ready!!! #
http://twitpic.com/fx2ot – Yay!!! Utilikilt spotted in the wild! #
http://twitpic.com/fx2qy – It is @GoGoGumby's first concert! Peter Bjorn and John are opening. Depeche Mode soon! #
Depeche Mode!!!!! On stage!!! @ Woodlands Pavilion #
@TheHZA *waving at you from center lawn, slightly stage left!* Great show! in reply to TheHZA #
@DonnaVB you mean because I'm coming to Savannah, right? Wish you and @reginaholder were here with me & Brittany! in reply to DonnaVB #
That is my policy of truth @frankdelvalle @DonnaVB. Never again is what you swore the time before! (Live right now!) #DepecheMode in reply to frankdelvalle #
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed is here in my arms. Words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm. #DepecheMode #Live #Houston #

Know the Code

Back from Austin, Texas where I was for Dane Sander’s Fast Track Photographer Roadshow Workshop (Use the code “Christine_workshop_new” if you would like $75 off a future workshop). I love to travel, I really do — but I’m so glad August is officially over tomorrow! 4 days in New Orleans, 4 days in Las Vegas and 4 days in Austin all in one month have made it a bit craaaaaaaazy to say the least! But what an incredible, amazing month it has been. I have met so many AWESOME people and I’m looking forward to the road ahead!

I’m busy catching up on email and phone calls (if I owe you one, I promise you’ll hear from me soon), but meanwhile I thought I would share a tip from my friend Jennifer, aka the ScriptyGoddess. She wrote a post recently about using Shortcodes to make line breaks in HTML in WordPress. Definitely something worth checking out if you’re in to messing with code behind the scenes and have been wanting a way to make the tag work properly!

She also linked to these really helpful posts – Mastering WordPress Shortcodes and 10 Incredibly Cool WordPress Shortcodes — check them out!
