I have just seen my first UFO and I didn't even write the script!

With "A little Help from My Friends" Erik, Adam, and Frederik, I have finally succeeded in getting Python, RoboFab, and FontLab 5.1 running merrily hand-in-hand with OSX Lion 107.2 and executing Python scripts! Did I say a LITTLE help? That should read "Great Gobs of Gargantuan Help!"

Contextual Alternates gone Wrong--or, Fun with Froggy Swash Tail.

Sometimes you just do stuff for fun and the learning process. Here is a first cut on what will become Froggy Swash. That flying frog tongue which leaps out some great distance and snatches an unassuming bug off a lilly pad was the motivation. Also, a little fun poked at {calt} use in this day and age.

My Mother Died Today

She was 90 and had been having heart problems for the past 30 years. It wasn't unexpected yet, even when you think you have prepared yourself for the inevitable, you are caught unprepared. Her mind was sharp till the end and her sense of humor still shined through. We will miss her.
