Now that i do part-time design work for my projects, i decided it was time to get all the free fonts available. As i am using ubuntu here are some awesome packages and links for fonts. Packages : (command to install on ubuntu) sudo apt-get install ttf-gentium ttf-dustin ttf-georgewilliams ttf-sjfonts sun-java6-fonts ttf-larabie-deco ttf-larabie-straight ttf-larabie-uncommon Another cool site: http://crunchbang.org/archives/2007/10/13/465-free-fonts-for-ubuntu/

I was thinking about the book The long tail , its a great read even if it is bit old. The ideas are very much relevant in today’s businesses and will continue to be as long as the Gaussian bells are around. After some discussions with my friends i chanced upon this interesting idea that using the long tail model you can effectively change the consumer usage patterns, much like the Heisenberg principle in physics....

Recently, i went to gaffar(New Delhi) and got 2 cell phones to muck around with it …. One is a sony ericksson another a nokia Turns out i needed a CA42 cable(Nokia), but it still does not work. The sony Ericksson rocks …..

So i have been working on fixing my internet stuff, so here are my new new things. http://www.kwippy.com - This is an awesome twitter replacement http://www.dipankar.name - A little bit of self promotion, uses blueprintcss (i am still learning he he) http://apps.facebook.com/dipankar - A test facebook application which demonstrates minifb.py More later, i am working on some more interesting things …. will write more soon

So i decided to finish off http://dipankar.name and used blueprintcss with web.py as the backend. Very minimilatistic , i will wrap up the “internet asset” section with RSS feeds from the respective networks soon.
