Geek Meet in Stockholm
I spoke at Geek Meet in Stockholm last night. The slides are now up on Slideshare:
- Web Typography and sIFR 3 is about the current state of web typography, and a quick run through sIFR 3
- Homemade Ubicomp is about ubiquitous computing you can do in your kitchen, with examples from PICNIC and the Copenhagen Institute for Interaction Design.
I had a great time, thanks to Robert Nyman and bwin for organizing.
Heads up: Stockholm soon, London next
Life’s quite lovely here in Copenhagen. Last week was filled with gentle snow, mostly enjoyed from behind my office window. It all vanished on Sunday, however, and I strangely miss it
Therefore, albeit not quite, I’m headed up to Stockholm on Thursday to give two talks at Geek Meet. One on Web Typography and sIFR, and one on Homemade Ubicomp. An older version of that talk – which I gave at SHiFT ‘08 – is available at Supercollider.
I’ll be in Stockholm until Sunday, so if you want to hang out, ping me. I think Robert Nyman is doing a guided tour through Stockholm on Saturday, so if you don’t know the town either (or think that Robert doesn’t!) perhaps you should join us.
I won’t be back in Copenhagen for long, because I’ll be in London for business for a week and a half from Wednesday on. That means I’ll be there during the weekend as well, anything interesting going on then?
My year in cities, 2008
As per Kottke:
- Enschede, NL*
- Naaldwijk, NL*
- Amsterdam, NL*
- Copenhagen, DK*
- Roskilde, DK,
- Bogø, DK,
- London, UK*
- Brighton, UK
- Lisbon, PT
- Berlin, DE
- Lausanne, CH
- Geneva, CH
One or more nights were spent in each place. Those cities marked with an * were visited multiple times on non-consecutive days. I lived in both Enschede and Copenhagen, but took trips to the other city after moving. Bogø isn’t necessarily a city, but it is a place ;-)
sIFR 2.0.7: Fixed issue with CS4
The sifr.fla file included in sIFR 2.0.7 could not be opened by CS4. This has now been resolved, thanks to Andrew Crowe who managed to open it in CS3 and re-save the file in a different format. Many thanks to Andrew, and also Nathan Strong, Todd O’Connor, Chris Peters and Lenny de Rooy for reporting the issue and testing a solution.
You can download the updated file from the sIFR 2.0.7 page.
sIFR 3 without Flash Pro
On sIFR Generator and sIFR Font Maker, two tools to create sIFR 3 movies without the Flash IDE.
