@gvenk Thank you :) <3

@lapor Thanks, Kristijan and thank you for reporting the issue – fixed :)

@karanja Thanks so much. That gives me hope to read. And thank you for reporting the typo – appreciate it – fixed :)

Folks, I’m running out of bandwidth on the plane again. Will be landing in Sydney in a few hours and demonstrating Site.js at the IxDA meetup (if I manage to make sense right after a 24-hour trip – will be dropping my bags off at the hotel and heading straight over) :)

@paulkruczynski Thanks, Paul – here’s to that :)

@manuelcaeiro Thanks so much :)

@djsundog Thank you :)

@celareartem Ah, thank you, will fix asap (still on the plane and running out of bandwidth again and now there’s quite a bit of turbulence) 🤢

@rick_777 Wasn’t trying to be dramatic with the pause, was literally foiled by capitalism (my MBs ran out right after the first message so I had to buy more) *smh* :)

Introducing Small Technology Foundation, Site.js, and Tincan

https://ar.al/2019/08/26/introducing-small-technology-foundation/

Right, well, I’ve never announced anything from a plane before but here goes…

There’s something really cool about asking your partner to hit your dev server and tell you what they think WHEN YOU’RE AT CRUISING ALTITUDE ON A FREAKING PLANE (thanks, ngrok and Singapore Airlines) :)

And so it begins…

Cork 🛫 Amsterdam 🛫 Singapore 🛫 Sydney

#UXAustralia #SmallTechnology

✅ Site ready
✅ Other site also ready
✅ Opening keynote for UX Australia ready
✅ Laptop setup so I can run through the demos for IxDA Australia
✅ Packed
✅ Need to be up at silly o’clock tomorrow for the flight to Sydney
✅ Very excited about it all :)

What’s all this then? Laura and I have a couple of things we’ll be announcing next week.

#SmallTechnology

Me: I have a week to ensure the web site is live and finish two talks so we can launch at the international conference I’m opening.

Also me: what do you think of the custom ASCII-art message of the day I just made for the server?

@futzle Haha, I remember those days (and being bitten by that). Ah, I don’t miss the good ’ol days (well, apart from the lack of online surveillance, that is).

Quick update: the lovely designer sent me WOFF2 exports she made from her OTF files and they work perfectly. So the issue is with FontSpring’s WOFF2 export. Will update with the name of the designer, the font, and links to it (it’s beautiful) once I hear that FontSpring have fixed the issue.

PS. Chatting to the designer now – might be a font foundry conversion issue. I’ve ruled out a couple of other things. Will update once we’ve tracked it down.

@futzle Thanks, Deborah, it is rather odd! Will get to the bottom of it eventually. I noticed that it works fine on FontSpring (where we bought it from) on Windows so it must be something we’re doing/have done on our end… I have a hunch it might be a mime-type issue perhaps…
