		<title>Customize QuickLook for fonts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not only to see if it's the font I am looking for, but also to see if the six glyphs specific for the Icelandic language, are in the font (which is a common problem) or, if they are, to see if they are drawn in a proper way and usable.  <img src="http://font.is/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/201007231119.jpg" width="596" height="467" alt="quicklookfontscustom" class="full-image" />  The problem however is that QuickLook does not have a character table for Icelandic, but the English one is used, leaving out those glyphs I am after. ...  The character sets are are kept in a file called  SampleSupport.plist  which is found at: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreText.framework/Versions/A  Copy this path and in Finder go:  Command + Shift + G  and paste the path into the field and you will instantly brought to the right place.  ]]></description>

		<title>New look, not just for the looks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This site was just moved between servers at my host provider. The reason for this was that the SQL database on the old server was outdated and prevented me from updating WordPress. Why not just update the database? Well, there was some delicate stuff on the old server and it was too risky to update [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grid Systems – Easy Grid Calculator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Grid Calculator InDesign plug-in is by the way awesome because it not only calculates the grid but also sets the whole thing up in InDesign ready to go and ready to be saved for later use.  ...  But it is also possible to play with number of columns and rows and fiddle with the units in the Margin section to let everything fit and the measurements for the margins are calculated at the same time.]]></description>

		<title>Diode lamp shows darkness and daylight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://font.is/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/201002242010.jpg" width="550" height="819" alt="201002242010.jpg" />  This is a concept for a diode light unit which I sent in for a competition held by The Illuminating Engineering Society of Iceland and Orkuveita Reykjavíkur (The Municipal Energy Grid). ...  You can choose between settings like showing only one day, where it also serves as a calendar, all the year at once, solstice, equinox or a clock and few other visual settings like running fast through every day of the year.]]></description>

		<title>Simple way to control your email – your own way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That way I won't loose track of the mail I really need or want to do something more with.  <img src="http://font.is/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/201002092353.jpg" width="550" height="567" alt="SmartMailbox" />  Another great thing about Smart Mailboxes is that although its findings comes from various places in my mail it is not aliases. ...  Every once in a while I look at those boxes and send it to the trash to free up some mails from the Inbox.    <img src="http://font.is/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/201002101308.jpg" width="550" height="185" alt="mailfoldersruslinfo" />  Another similar idea for some of the Smart Mailboxes is to keep separate track of all the mails that I get related to social media like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.]]></description>

		<title>How to make a circle color spectrum in Illustrator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You could also do all this by clicking with the mouse on the center of the guide lines to get a dialog box to fill in the measurements but I thought it would be worth it to show you both methods.   <img src="http://font.is/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/200911231309.jpg" width="550" height="377" alt="spectrum09" />&#160;&#160;&#160;  Select the grid and make it to guides with  Command + 5  or go the long way via the  View menu down to Guides and to Make Guides  in the sub menu.  ...  The first division is there.   <img src="http://font.is/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/200911231323.jpg" width="550" height="138" alt="spectrum13" />  Then click approximately into the center of the top edge.   <img src="http://font.is/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/200911231326.jpg" width="550" height="145" alt="spectrum14" />  And after that add two vertical dividers on each half so we have six sections in total horizontally.   <img src="http://font.is/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/200911231330.jpg" width="550" height="131" alt="spectrum15" />  Using the Direct Selection Tool, (the white arrow) select all the anchor points, except those who align with the circle.]]></description>
