Type designers and Web designers have reached a consensus on a format specification for embedding fonts on the Web. Mozilla is already including support for the font format in Firefox 3.6, and wide adoption could come sooner than many expected.
…
- The latest draft of the WOFF File Format specification is online.
- You can now download an official beta of Firefox 3.6, with support for WOFF fonts, from Mozilla’s developer site.
- Typographer Erik Spiekermann has put together a sample page that uses a WOFF version of the popular typeface FF Meta. You’ll need the aforementioned beta of FF3.6 to view the custom fonts.
- Mozilla’s John Dagget and Jonathan Kew have a post with several examples of more advanced typography generated using CSS properties at Mozilla Hacks.
- We have an introduction to
@font-faceand related CSS technology for those looking for more background, as well as a look at some of the issues that prompted solutions like TypeKit and ultimately WOFF.

Mer avancerat än iNudge, men liknande idé.
I windows kan man trycka win+L för att låsa sin skärm. Om man kör X så kan man köra igång xlock. På OS X är det lite mer jobb, men det går att fixa. Först får man skriva ett litet shellscript som man sedan binder till en tangentkombination.

The second small change from coin project, new numeric litterals has been integrated to jdk7/tl workspace and will be soon promoted into jdk7 main workspace.
The patch introduces two new notations for numeric litterals:
1. Binary litteral Litteral coded in binary starting with prefix 0b. This prefix can be prefixed by minus for negative number.
0b11 == 3
-0b11 == -3More examples here.
2. Underscores in litterals Allow to use underscore (‘_’) to separate digits in litterals. Underscore can be used anywhere between two digits.
long aBankAccountBalance = 1_000_000_000;
long aVisaCardNumber = 1234_1234_1234_1234;
long aFrenchPhoneNumber = 01_60_95_77_33;Of course, these two new syntax can be mixed:
int value = 0b11111111_00000000_11111111_00000000;
Biopython is a set of freely available tools for biological computation written in Python by an international team of developers.
It is a distributed collaborative effort to develop Python libraries and applications which address the needs of current and future work in bioinformatics. The source code is made available under the Biopython License, which is extremely liberal and compatible with almost every license in the world. We work along with the Open Bioinformatics Foundation, who generously provide web and CVS space for the project.

We figured the best people to persuade developers to come to Ableton are our own staff. We interviewed some of our developers and came up with this: a 16 minute movie about working at Ableton. We hope that once you’ve watched it, you’ll want to work here, too.
Trevlig video som verkligen får Ableton att framstå som en schyst arbetsplats för en musikintresserad utvecklare. Mer info på Abletons hemsida.

1.0.7 innehåller en del sköna uppdateringar.
Tweaks for Mac OS X Snow Leopard, to force it to run in 32-bit mode.
This should bring back the video library (if temporarily), and hopefully
fix serial as well, though I didn’t have a serial device handy to test.
+ Fix problem where line highlighting was off in ‘static’ mode.

+ Auto-format was killing Unicode characters (how did this last so long?)
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1312
+ PVector.angleDistance() returning NaN due to precision errors
http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1316
+ Removed a major try/catch block from PApplet.main(), hopefully
this will allow some exception stuff to come through properly.
