De Grafische Werkplaats in Den Haag dreigt per 1 januari zijn subsidie te verliezen, en zal daardoor na 50 jaar moeten sluiten. Teken de petitie om bezwaar hier tegen te maken!

@npub1urz…39sc It was a really nice machine to have. (A bit heavy though.) And the amount of ports: USB + FireWire + ethernet + modem + audio in + audio out + DVI.

Arial is such a good typeface for correspondence! And so legible too. (Cough!) This letter from Deutsche Bahn contains the following provision: “Please be aware that the voucher code will not contain any zeroes, but might contain uppercase O.”

Browsing through some old files from the 1990’s and had to create this overview of custom icons for PostScript Type 1 fonts. It was a nice challenge to create something in 256 colours on 32 x 32 pixels.
How many foundries can you spot?

@npub1urz…39sc we used Mailchimp for years but left because of absurd pricing changes. Apparently they are not too keen on small players. Now we’re using Moosend which is fine enough.
