You mentioned bi-monthly. Is that every two months or twice a month?

Good question!
From AskOxford.com

Quote:

Does bimonthly mean 'twice a month' or 'every two months'?
I'm afraid it means both! But in the publishing industry, it is used fairly consistently to mean 'every two months'. The same ambiguity affects biweekly and biyearly. If you want to be absolutely clear, use a phrase such as 'twice a week' or 'every two years'.

Sorry, couldn't resist

ok ok didn't realise that bi-monthly thingy...

well, i think so i think i should make myself clear then... but this is just a suggestion, ok? i hope the newsletter to come out twice a month, or once a month.

in fact, perhaps once a month is enough. what do you think guys?

@laprjns:
Thanks for the reply. Good source too!

@tsuren:
OK. Twice a month was the original plan, but I didn't realise that I'd be this busy. Curse the Leaving Cert... D!!

I'd say I can still do that, but I want to make it clear: there is no way I can handle once a week.

Other comments welcome!

Edit: And for Linus Torvald's sake can we get a few more votes on the recommendation threads? I need your opinions! Come on! Help! That's right, I'm talking to you!

yeah of course... i understand. but perhaps once a month may be a good frequency.

C>Lemon · **Posted:** Sat Sep 27, 2008 10:34 pm

Yes, that would make for higher-quality and more considered content.

We shall see.

Once a month is good.

@CLemon,

Have u just looked into Tribujet MS fonts? It looks soo stylish and nice on the paper. Let me know if u like it or atleast what ya think..

I wonder if its can be used on Zenwalk and no probs with patents or what ever M$ crap.

@Zenwalk addict's second post:
There is a TrebuchetMS on M$, but I don't know if 'Tribuget' is a misspelling or a FOSS alternative...

I knew about it back then, but I was waiting for your reply to that. Anyway, I've checked the M$ version and it does look snazzy. I suggest you look up the Tuffy font from the TTF fonts Zenwalk package. It's quite similar. I have that package so anyone who's interested in having an input on the font can pick one of those fonts and we'll see how it goes.

OK?

VOTE!

Could u give the correct font package name? Alot of ttf packages exists on repo.

C>Lemon · **Posted:** Sun Sep 28, 2008 7:17 pm

It's called ttf-fossfonts. For some reason the font called "vac-something" makes Abiword crash when I select it, so ignore that one, but Tuffy is fairly similar to Trebuchet.

kool, thanks. I wud install it and use then let u know.

Btw, did any of u guys read this months FullCirlcle mag? It has got few good news and articles written.

hey, tuffy infant 2 is much kool than tuffy. So ya i think i wud suggest you to use Tuffy Infants font family. Looks way kooler and attractive.

C>Lemon · **Posted:** Wed Oct 01, 2008 9:58 pm

I agree. Shame about the childish name, eh, DodoFXP?

Tuffy Infant it is then (love those long 'f's...so cool).
