For no particular reason, I worked a little on an old font today.

The changes are pretty minor. I’ve made the curves on letters like O and B more smooth (while still trying to retain the squarish look of everything), and slimmed down the strokes on the X, B and W so they match the other letters better.

You kind of have to squint a bit to see the changes. However, I think this is a bit more professional and clean looking now.

One of the nice things about working on fonts is, you can let something sit for a few years and pick it back up, and you don’t have to spend a whole lot of time re-familiarizing yourself with what’s going on. This font was last edited in 2009 I think.

Contrast that with my Dart board game project, which was a bit baffling to sort out today, after having gone unedited for a couple months.

It occurs to me that this whole saving-journal-post-drafts-in-Wordpress thing is backfiring.

See, I used to post everything directly to LiveJournal, which seemed incapable of reliably saving drafts. So if I wanted to write something, I had to do it all it one sitting, or at least have my post-editing page open all the time, beckoning me to come back to it. With WordPress, I can save a draft, leave the WordPress interface entirely, and completely forget that I was writing something.

There are any number of saved drafts on my site here, waiting to get edited. Chances are, I won’t get back to them. And that’s part of why there haven’t been many posts here lately.

As with most things, I think my posts are better when they’re just a little bit rushed. Everything’s more focused that way.

So I think I’ll go back to just trying to throw things together all at once here.
