Ah, the memories! I remember going around for maps of Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory with the "Adolf Gandhi" nickname. My goal was to convince both the axies and the allies to construct all the constructable buildings in a certain "ruined city" map, to further peacefully inhabit it. Just in case, I equipped a flamethrower. |

I work for a large font company, and I just stumbled across your story while searching for other font info. I must say that I am greatly troubled by the belligerent tone that Agfa Monotype (through lawyers) took with you. The decision to target you was a case of straight-up bullying, stemming from a dangerous mix of arrogance and ignorance. It is reassuring to see that your refusal to back down, along with your clear thinking and articulate arguments, seemed to have made them back off. I was never aware of this situation as it was happening, but you have my gratitude and admiration for standing up to such unfounded charges and threats. Ironically, in defending the position of independent developers, you have helped protect the very community that larger font companies depend on for creative content and technical innovation. While companies do have a legitimate interest in aggressively defending their intellectual property, hopefully this case will serve as a cautionary tale that they need to use more discretion when throwing their weight around, and that misguided bullying will have repercussions in the form of negative publicity and even boycotts of products. Thank you for your brave and principled work that has benefited us all. |

Good idea, Max. I will try this one out soon. |

Hey now you can have a really sexy pickup line that goes, "I have time in my pants. Can I have some in yours?" |

Some people have more of it on thier hands, others keep it in other places. |

Yes, it's just that some people spend it more wisely. |
| |
Mike, everybody has the same amount of time. |
| |
Ah, I miss counterstrike. My desktop should be working again soon though. Maybe I'll help with the barrel arrangement once that happens. |
| |
It occurs to me now that the uncooperativeness of the other freedom fighters might have been due to the symbolic meaning of moving all of the barrels into the USA spawn point. That is, that what I really, subconsciously meant by "work together towards a common goal" was "take all of your oil except for the stuff that's stuck in that one car." |
| |
I've been playing Battlefield 2. Well, not too much lately. But it is fun, although there are not quite as many barrels. |

I'll be the first to say it: You have entirely too much time on your hands. Not only did you do this... you spent the time to chronicle every detail of it. Kudos. |

I made them in various versions of the Cakewalk midi sequencer, using the piano roll. Cakewalk 3 was the best, really, but it doesn't run on my computer any more. I guess there are some up there that I did play on the keyboard, 16 bit ones like "Radon" and "Akasha" and "Sony", but I consider that method obsolete. ;)
The ones that sound really gritty like they came from a NES were designed to be converted by my "midimml" software into NSF files for that extra special sound. |

That's a reasonable complaint.. unfortunately, hard to do anything about. (The best I could imagine would be a 2x zoom mode for very high resolutions.) On the other hand, I could complain that if you can't make out the individual pixels, your resolution is set too high for your monitor/eyesight... ;) |

Great game.
The only problem I have had is that the small font is almost impossible to read on a monitor with good resolution, which is most annoying when trying to see what the record time is.

I was wondered how you made these tunes... I can't even read sheet music, let alone play that fast. :) |
| |
Or maybe I am an Other-pu-kin. |

Max, it might be because you are an ELF and there is IRON nearby. |
