Part of the fun

June 20, 2001 by Michael Boyle

of installing a new OS – and a radically different one at that – has been digging through my old files. There are whole folders full of stuff that I literally hadn’t opened in years, let alone used. One of the things I found was the local version of my first ever personal site, which luckily I’d commented pretty well, including the date of first publication and of the last change I made. And it turns out I’ve had a personal site on the web for over 5 1/2 years now.

I’m going to try, in the near future, to make some screenshots of old versions of the precursor to mikel.org – they’re embarrassingly ugly, but kind of fun as well.

This is so cool

: WhatTheFont will interpret an image of text and return a list of possible fonts used to make it. It didn’t work very well on my little “mikel.org” logo above – doubtless because of the yellow line underneath – but still, it’s pretty cool. [via caroline]

coming to you from OS X.

A rare link

June 14, 2001 by Michael Boyle

via Scripting News (not that I find the site uninteresting, it’s just that it is usually out of step with my focus): Three Myths of XML by Kendall Grant Clark. A very tidy debunking of some of the more outrageous (and ahistorical) myths proposed by XML proponents. If I were ever to re-write my Master’s thesis (which is doubtful), this essay would become a central reference.

The Fringe starts

June 14, 2001 by Michael Boyle

tomorrow here in Montreal, and the beer tent is just around the corner from my place so I expect to be going by quite a bit in the next week or so. If you’re curious, they have a really nice website this year, design by Black Eye, development by the good people at Plank Design.
