OT: Coming to the USA
My wife and I are in the final stages of organising a month in the USA, and would love to meet up with any PDML-ers for coffee, lunch (or even dinner!) at any of our stops. If anyone would like to meet up, our itinerary includes: New York, 13-19 October Boston 21-23 October New Orleans 26-28 October St. Louis 31 October - 1st. November Chicago 3-4 November Los Angeles 7-8 November San Francisco 10-11 November I'm planning to get a pre-paid cell phone for the trip, and will circulate the number when I arrive to any respondents, for last minute details, but this email address jco...@iinet.net.au will reach me for preliminaries. We're very much looking forward to this trip, neither of us has been to the States before, and we've decided to use Amtrak for all our intercity travel, which should be a great experience!

OT- blurb.com Adobe InDesign plug-in with Lightroom Creative Cloud question
Hi All: Has anyone used the blurb.com Adobe InDesign Plug-in with Lightroom Creative Cloud? Any comments, complaints et al? I’ve recently became a creative cloud user on my Mac laptop. I used Adobe InDesign to layout our school literary journal this summer, so I have InDesign skills—well, developing skills :-)—though laying out the journal was a lot of fun—fun to learn some new software skills. I’m seriously interested in downloading the blurb.com Adobe InDesign plug-in for Lightroom CC, but if it’s crap and not worth it, I’d rather not, of course.
