@pixelambacht So, it's a font with 256 ligatures, each ligature represents a number from 0...255 and the resulting character is a binary representation of that number? Could actually come in handy for some programming tasks.

I had been thinking of making a font that would do the opposite: make ligatures of all combinations of 8 zero's and ones and show the digital number instead or on top of it. (Could find if it already had been done.)

@pixelambacht @drawBot Posca works nice, indeed, but this is "Sakura" gell roler. Should be quite easely obtainable, maybe "Pippoos". Or your local "kunstenaarsbenodigdhedenwinkeltjes".

#plotterart @pixelambacht RGB (-ish) color swathces on black(-ish) paper, to see how it blends. Quite satisfied, actually. Pens are not 'pure/spectral' red, green or blue. Pattern created using @drawBot

@mapologies The Dutch sounds really similar to the American original. That's because the English word 'cookie' comes from Dutch. According to the 'www.oxfordreference.com':

@paulrickards I was seriously just looking for such a script! How did you know?😍

@OscarCunningham @andrewt A nice game with a great idea based on celtic knots: https://www.andrewt.net/puzzles/celtix/ And an ingenious way of generating colors using the golden ratio to step through the color wheel. Need to remember that!

@andrewt I was looking at your code for Celtix, and I thought this was a very big-brain way of getting an even spread of colours.

Is this how English schools teach their pupils to communicate?! A mail from a pupil of the Great Marlow School in the UK:

“why is there a coffin, pillow and other useless shapes and not a regular box with a pyramid on top. i need a big ben for my school project but theres no shapes for it or even similar to it. ADD A BIG BEN AND A ROYAL MAIL VAN.”

@eaterofsnacks Maybe my 'coffin' template (https://www.templatemaker.nl/en/coffin/) fits this description? It's both creative and cremative... 🤔 #selfpromotion

#typography So, I've made about an odd dozen of 'single stroke' svg/otf fonts. Using fontforge + adobe type tools + python + FontLab8. I need to renew my FontLab license 💸 . Or, does anybody know an alternative to FontLab8 that handles SVG/OTF fonts even better?

@mapologies Looking at the map with 'M' in the Netherlands,.. does Almelo have a metro!?🤓

@jaspervankuijk Ah, Polen speelt tegen "A.1 Invaart, uitvaart of doorvaart verboden. "

@mapologies In Swedish and Norwegian, another name for wolf is 'varg'. Looking at the etymology of Georgia being derived from 'Varkana' (land of the wolves) sounds similar. Is that coincidence?

@luckyresistor And while you're there, have a look at the enourmous font collection! What an opus by Peter Wiegel

"serveersuggestie" toch?

Does anybody know if I'm missing something obvious with #prettymaps ? Should I add some code to the examples on GitHub to see anything? When I run it, either in Pycharm or from the terminal, no map or graph or picture is shown. Just error messages, but different ones.

@concretedog @HackSpacemag Can't help thinking of the Dutch 'Valk' (falcon) sailing boat type, which was designed specifically to me made from plywood. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valk_(boot) (In Dutch)
