How to create a font from your own handwriting

September 6th, 2009

Fontcapture is an awesome webtool. What it does? It does create your own handwriting font in some very simple steps. First you download a template. You print this template and write all the characters specified on it. Then you scan your template and upload it to Fontcapture. Fontcapture processes your handwriting and offers you a ttf file for download. See the image below for my very own OsiWrite font.

Remove “An automated WordPress update has failed to complete” message

June 15th, 2009

This weekend I tried to autoupdate my blog to Wordpress 2.8. This failed for some still unknown reason. Since this fail I was stuck with the following message in my admin page: “An automated Wordpress update has failed to complete”.

I decided to update Wordpress manually but the message kept in place. It turned out that I needed to remove a file called “.maintenance” from the website root directory. Finally the message disappeared :)
