I tracked down this nice monospaced typewriter style font called Batik, it is a sort of a rough font that duplicates the effect of a coarse, aging ribbon. Anyway, I needed it to emulate someone else’s artwork for a website I’m working on and I found the font on several of the ‘1001 free fonts’ type of sites.

Problem is, none of the copies of Batik I downloaded worked in Windows XP. Not just my computer, but a couple other computers I tried. Then I checked with the old NT4 server at the office and it worked fine. Digging futher, I found a typography program that complained about the font not having some fields filled in, I filled them in and suddenly I had a font that worked and I could go on with my project. So here is a working copy of Batik(might have to right-click, Save As and name properly).

Zlad!

Yay! I’ve finally upgraded the Gallery software and I’ve started adding a bunch of stuff. I’ve already uploaded some pics from the Hall Build, I’ve got a ton more of those to go along with pics of my new (old) house and older pics of family and friends. So Check It Out!.

I’ve also tossed in some misc pics that I find amusing, YMMV due to my somewhat twisted sense of humor. Heres one, with no idea of who should get credit, titled Unsuspecting Innocents:

…working lots. Thats because I’ve started my own company with my buddy Chad.

I’m proud to announce ClonePC and Clone Solutions. ClonePC provides high quality computers and Clone Solutions designs and programs websites. We’ve both been doing these kinds of things for years as a sort of hobby and on the side, now we’ve made it official.
