Read about the end result here
Join me when I start brewing my first batch of Club Mate. Inspired by a podcast from chaos radio express on the topic "Hackerbrausen" (Hacker's soda, listen here) I want to try this by myself.
So far I have bought all the necessary ingrediends and tools to get started. And with the help from Jan (@janl) I can even carbonate the end result :)
See the original post here: Hacking Club Mate "imatate"
Brewing was easy. Many people joined, and they did enjoy my special surprise: "Mate jelly shots". So after having a debate over how much gram is a cup for sugar, I just went by visual judgment. Out came two batches, I made a bigger one for Imatate and a small one for Maca Mate. Cooling was definitely an issue, it took ages to heat the huge pot and it took ages to cool it down. So we decided to put everything in the refridgerator and wait for the night to pass.

#Techniques for Anti-Aliasing @font-face on Windows
It all started with an email from a client: Do these fonts look funky to you? The title is prickly.
The font in question was Port Lligat Sans from Google Web Fonts.
The "prickly" is aliasing caused by lack of hinting

| I had some intense difficulties getting this all to work. The VMs would boot | |
| fine with gui=true, but then would fail as soon as I turned that off. Yet when | |
| they failed, they were actually running just fine! I could ssh in, but neither | |
| vagrant nor vmrun could find the running VMs! You would think that it would | |
| give better errors, but no. | |
| First off, most boxes you find online will be using the VMWare configuration 9, | |
| which will only boot if you have gui=true the first boot, so you can upgrade it |

“I perfectly understand our CSS. I never have any issues with cascading rules. I never have to use !important or inline styles. Even though somebody else wrote this bit of CSS, I know exactly how it works and how to extend it. Fixes are easy! I have a hard time breaking our CSS. I know exactly where to put new CSS. We use all of our CSS and it’s pretty small overall. When I delete a template, I know the exact corresponding CSS file and I can delete it all at once. Nothing gets left behind.”
