Today is Sunday and I can find time to test Fontself

February 17, 2008 - 13:03 — Rafi Haladjian

Do I have anything special to say here and now ? Honestly, not really. Can I try to find something interesting to say, probably. Will I ? No. r. PS: now that I have seen the preview of my post, I can at least add that I am really impressed by the result of fontself. I absolutely recognize my sick way of handwriting.

ALIVE on your account

February 14, 2008 - 00:07 — Cristiana Bolli Freitas

Hi everyone!

All the personal handwritings are now alive and yours is on your LIFT account @ http://www.liftconference.com
For more instructions on how to use it in your posts, go to:
http://www.liftconference.com/fontself-website-usage

Remember that this is still a work in progress, so there will be some strange looks sometimes, but, hey!, isn't it fun anyway!?
So, we are looking forward to see the results, and do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions or comments.

I just wanted to thank you for the great feedback on FONTSELF during LIFT08!

Can't see fontself in the input format list

February 13, 2008 - 18:16 — Aral Balkan

I can not haz fontself? :(

Fontself would benefit from HTML tags (hyperlinks!)

February 13, 2008 - 17:44 — Philipp Schröder

Fontself is nice as it brings lots of personal flavour to the web page... I do wonder how many people out there can read my handwriting though?! I wish fontself would allow markup, at least clickable hyperlinks are a must! ;-D Fontself Wishlist Strong Text Hyperlinks Lists (ordered and unordered) Citations So, what markup support do you want to see in fontself? Please comment!

The Pen vs The Machine

February 13, 2008 - 17:10 — Martin Cahill

I had almost forgotten what it felt like to pick up a pen and write until LIFT 08. Since my love affair with the laptop began some many years ago, my pen has been limited to the occasional birthday card or scribbles on the back of a business card (the new fag packet). I had also forgotten how much it hurt. No wonder I failed all those paper based exams at school. It was too much effort. Come to think of it, why we do we ask today's students to apply an old technology, that requires different skills and hard-wiring, in the exam hall situation? The delete key is much easier than an apprenticeship in painting and decorating i.e. tip-ex. The pen vs the machine is a fascinating debate... a battle best described by Professor Michael Wesch of Kansas State University - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE Martin Cahill e: mcahill@gmail.com w: http://martincahill.wordpress.com m: +44 (0)774 7740579

me and my fontself

February 13, 2008 - 14:20 — Sarah Wade Hutman

so I still don't really "blog" -- even after attending two Lifts -- but am definitely excited to check out my fontself: here it goes... ...if my buddies or others are reading, well, I do promise to add future musings: musings on the future, sarkozy-bruni (or is it bruni-sarkozy?) and other things lift-related soon. [NB: it would appear after "previewing" that my fontself is not, in fact, present. where is she????]

First post and fontself test

February 8, 2008 - 15:29 — Guillaume Arluison

Ok this post may not be a breakthrough to the community so sorry abouth that. I'm currently enjoying lift, thanx to laurent and his team's good job and www.fontself.com offers to make you "write" with your "real" hand on your blog. Well this blog for the moment. Nothing painful really, there providing a service to recognize your handwriting and use it as a "font" bitmap image replacement. So let's try it...
