Wow. This absurd sounding story from a British Tabloid site (and a related citing on Autosport.com) seems almost too far-fetched to believe. Max Mosley, head of the FIA (which governs a lot of motorsport worldwide including Formula One) is being accused of a Nazi-themed orgy with 5 prostitutes - hey, I told you it sounded […]
I am a structural engineer at a small consulting firm. But even though we’re small, we crank through a relatively high number of projects year in and year out. In 2007 we quoted on approximately 230 projects. Of those, we turned over 150 of them into projects. Even though some of those are relatively small […]
Just over a year ago, my previous car was broken into. A few months ago, a buddy of mine at work had his Audi A3 broken into here at work. And today, I find out another co-worker had his Acura 1.6EL stolen between 11:30am and 12:15pm.
Bastards.
Our parking lot is between our building and an adjacent […]
A few months ago I took the initial steps (reading, learning and sketching) toward creating a font. I’m not sure if there is any uber-geeky web2.0 term for taking on projects you never actually complete, but damn I’m awesome at it! The good (I think) thing is that when you blog about them, there is […]
Jon Phillips has an excellent Inkscape 0.46 related post on his blog. It outlines some of the new and neat features of Inkscape 0.46, complete with screenshots. If you were wondering what kinds of new things are available, then make sure you check it out.
The path tweaking effects in the first screenshot in his post […]
Inkscape version 0.46 is now out. Anybody who reads this blog with any regularity will know that I am a huge Inkscape fan. I think they have packages available for Gutsy right now, with other versions (including the windows installer files) probably arriving shortly.
I’ve played around a bit with nightly build pre-release versions of 0.46 […]
I suppose it’s cliche to say ‘I never win anything’. But by and large that is true for me. However, this week has been doubly good for me.
First, I arrived back home from vacation to find a nice shiny copy of Linux Journal in my mailbox. I won a subscription (as did Mr. Heathenx and […]
I recently arrived back from an almost two-week vacation down to Myrtle Beach and Disney World. While not completely “off the grid”, aside from a daily email check and a couple of blog comments, I pretty much unplugged. I gave the camera a decent workout with a few hundred snapshots just downloaded onto the pc […]
I’m happy to report that I can now complete the trilogy of posts on browser font rendering on an upbeat note. After complaining about Firefox’s font rendering on my Ubuntu Linux machine, and the magical disappearance of fattened-up fonts in Flock, I’ve finally found the solution. And no, it’s not buying a Mac… Sorry Earl. […]
