This is really great guys, thanks.

I would much rather than you put the heart on one of the heart code points instead of on the euro sign code point, such as U+2665, and put an actual euro sign on U+20AC, accessibility be damned.

I thought I removed all the hearts, they were placeholders for a little bit while I worked out the characters, but I'll check again.

@rvan
Just what I was looking for! I will make some changes later today and get a new version out. You guys rock!

If that doesn't work I'll put it on Mediafire or something. Thanks!

Hello friends,

I've done up a bitmap typeface with some odd ̶u̶n̶i̶c̶o̶d̶e̶  characters that I don't use, basically, ever. Would a few of you mind giving this a whirl to see how they sit with the rest of the characters? I don't mind if you use ̶u̶n̶i̶c̶o̶d̶e̶  characters or not, so I guess any feedback is nice.

Thanks!

Edit: Removed the old links, latest version is up here, based off of nitro2k01 and rvan's comments.  Considering making a git repo for this...

The blocks supported are Latin Basic, some (80%) Latin-1 Supplement, and Latin Extended-A.

I actually got the day off for this one~

Free $250!? yes pls

That was fun! I enjoyed the 8bit aesthetics but the music looping threw me off a bit. What did you write that in?

Aw that's so far! I wanna go sad

Hello friends,

My mother has ditched an old iHome and I've, naturally, snapped it up to take it apart and build something fun out of it. Now I'm no real expert with eh..."raw" electronics, so I'm just going to remove all the useless ish and make a more condensed speaker setup.

I've got most everything how I want it, but am looking to change out this odd conductor charging mechanism [Fig. 1] with a pair of batteries or something. Now I figure this would be easier if there weren't more than a power and ground cable coming out of the charging mechanism [Fig. 2]. Do you think I could lop off the extra cables and wire the ground and power to a battery housing? This thing has been really touchy, is why I ask (if I remove the wireless card it fails to power on).

I could probably power these tiny speakers an easier way, but I'd like to see if I can't get this working.

Thanks!

The battery [Fig. 3].

I believe you're talking about this thread?

I searched, "custom lsdj kit," to find that.

Also this might be useful.

Im planning on getting into linux. For one my girlfriends laptop is so sluggish with Windows 7 installed and all the bloat; so were looking for a nice begginer friendly distro that will breathe new life into it. (its like 2gb ram and 2.0 ghz processor)

Ive heard Ubuntu and Debian thrown around alot, and given the music software availible il probably go for Ubuntu or some derivative of it.

Can anyone speak about Mint linux? If theres any point going for that over plain Ubuntu? Ive heard its more geared towards begginers.
Or any other suggestions on suitable distros for such a computer; to be used primarily for the web. Music software is not a prerequisite, really. (At least not for her laptop)

All insight greatly appreciated here; ive spent many many years being a geek, but never bothered to look into linux before.

I've jumped around distros before, but I've settled on Arch Linux. Its deliciously lightweight and super customizable.

I do some new-age piano/ambient/downtempo. I just released this album a few days ago. I'd appreciate some feedback!

Through whom are you getting these tapes made? Looks cool though! Stoked to get my hands on one.
