Projects That May or May Not be Made

TYPOTEK

What is it?

A locally-running font-library, to display all the fonts I have installed on my computer so I can easily visualize them and choose from my collection when I need to.

Why make it?

Because windows is shit and doesn't provide a good way to sort and visualize installed fonts.
I still haven't found an external app that suits my needs.

Workflow

⚹ Install the new fonts I collected

⚹ Make sure every font has a stylesheet and web formats

> For this, use transfonter

⚹ Start a web project, probably based on Julien Bidoret's repository

> This step needs a deep dive into PHP and why it is not working anymore

⚹ Make sure that the project is hosted on codeberg for archive and versioning!

Timetable

Clean up and font installation	~ 1 full day	TBD
Verify and update stylesheets and web formats	~ 3 days	TBD
Fix PHP	half a day to a day	TBD
Fill the website with font-files and adapt categories	~ 2 days	TBD
Bug fixing	~ 1 day	TBD

Previous Practice/p>

web desiiiiiiiiiign <3

⚹ Smol contribution to Raphaël Bastide's Use&Modify (using ProcessWire)

⚹ Trials to actually make this have been running for a year(?) now...

> I lost my database, remember?

No support for iframe

Relations to Wider Contexts

If there is no tool, make it! → Strong ties to the F/LOSS way of thinking

Choices Made

⚹ Filters

> font family (serif, sans, mono, etc.)
> variable
> complete charset / missing diacritics
> made by wxmen
> license model
>

⚹ Info displayed

> Name of the font
> Foundry
> F/LOSS or paid license
> Designer(s) + wxmen/queer indication
> Text input to test the font on different chunks of text

Rapid Prototypes

Write one sentence instruction for a work.
Make it.

Dual booting

What is it?

Installing Linux on a laptop alongside Windows

Why make it?

Windows sucks but I still need it for some graphic design works

Workflow

⚹ Set a date for the install party
⚹ Open registrations
⚹ Make a wiki page for documentation
⚹ Find a good (online) guide
⚹ Make a back-up of the laptop's content
⚹ Do the workshop
⚹ Document the workshop
⚹ Enjoy the newly installed Linux!

Timetable

Making the wiki page	~ 15mn	TBD
Finding a guide to dual-booting	a day or more?	TBD
Making a back-up of the laptop's content	1 day	TBD
Workshop duration	1 day	TBD
Documenting the steps on the wiki	~ 1 day	TBD

Previous Practice/p>

⚹ Messing around in the terminal in Prototyping classes
⚹ Installing WSL on my laptop
⚹ Attending the JdLL in 2023

Relations to Wider Contexts

See my research topics leads here

Choices Made

⚹ Which Linux distribution?

⚹ Date of the workshop

> Is it better to wait for Windows to drop Windows 10 (october 2025) or does the date not really matter?

⚹ Deciding on which guide to use
⚹ Inviting an install-party expert?

Rapid Prototypes

This will not be prototyped, here will be some pictures from the workshop instead.
