Linotype 202 hack at Bell Labs

posted on 2017-01-11 23:00:00

I've come across a wonderful story that has happened a long time ago at Bell labs. They basically bought a Linotype typesetting machine shortly before the arrival of laser printers. After they realized that Linotype would not provide them with information how to create their own fonts for the device they started to disassemble the whole software and recreate it from scratch. They succeeded but the technical report they wrote could not get published due to serious concerns by their lawyers. A long time after the engineers recreated the technical report and documented the process of creating it as well.

Training break (again...)

Looks like there will be another training break for me. On Thursday I will get two teeth out and the wound has to heal before I can train again. A bit annoying but I look forward to having that thing finally off my list.

Maybe I'll find some time while recovering to do something in the fields of Lisp programming or guitar playing.

Another try for a blog.

Due to my recent love for Common Lisp I use coleslaw this time. Let's see how it works out.

This time intend to primary use this for my training logs as I want to host the place on my own. Aside from that there might be some photos and some stuff about coding...

This blog covers training, hacking, coding
