Goodbye to Freehand, GoLive

During the Adobe Live event, Robert Raiola of Adobe Systems France said that Adobe will halt the development of Freehand and GoLive, according to MacGeneration.

Adobe will support these two products for some times. Adobe will concentrate all its efforts on Illustrator 13 and Dreamweaver (which will have a new interface similar to other adobe products).

Make your own fonts

bitfontmaker.png

Web site BitFontMaker lets you design, create, and download your own fonts.

If you’re interested in creating a font with BitFontMaker, all you need to do is draw each letter and symbol on the glyphs map using a little bitmap. It may take a little bit of time, but with a little elbow grease you can create your very own font tweaked to your liking. Alternately, you can browse through the BitFont Museum and download other people’s BitFont creations.

Personally – there’s a reason I’ve never designed a font before, so I’ll probably stick with what I’ve got.

Video-game from 1952 – OXO, a tic-tac-toe

Cory Doctorow:
This blog post traces the history of “the first computer game,” a tic-tac-toe implementation programmed in 1952 on Cambridge University’s EDSAC mainframe — the post includes URLs for an EDSAC emulator.


OXO, a revolution in entertainment, that featured amazing 35*16 pixel graphics, and was actually a version of tic-tac-toe, played by dialing (on an typically 50s phone-dial) your input and facing a simple but decent AI. The first video game’s creator was (as is usual in these cases) a PhD student: A.S. Douglas. It seems his thesis was on human-computer interaction.
