A cute little site for playing around with color themes and console fonts.
The O'Reilly newsletters says, "Like a new pair of shoes!"

I spend a lot of time in Linux consoles and vim, and really appreciate Solarized Dark and SourceCodePro, though I see a couple others worth checking out.
Note that you can type in the simulated console, which is important if you're checking out key characters like zero.
That's weird. Went to the site and Avast immediately shouted "threat has been detected!" ?!??

McAfee did the same.

Well, isn't that special.
https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/app.programmingfonts.org/ reports no problems.
I have most ads blocked in my hosts file, so if it's in there I'm not seeing it.
Do your alarms provide any more details?I'd report them to webmaster.

I've walked through the code on the site, and it looks okay to me (as much as you can guess a minimized jQuery files looks "okay"), Site owner Koen Lageveen tells me he's heard reports of web fonts being reported as malware before.
If your software provided any details on what the threat consisted of, I'll be glad to forward your info.

It appears that one of the fonts, Quinze, was generating the false positives.
Mike and/or Laurie, if you could check to see if the site doesn't alarm on your machines, I'd appreciate it and pass that on to the site author.

Interesting site, some monospaced fonts there that I hadn't seen before .

UPDATE: Site now displays for me without issue, Ted. Looks like they've fixed whatever it was.

I've been using SourceCodePro ever since you posted about it awhile back.
I'm not a fan of the dark backgrounds. I find the off-white background to be the easiest on my eyes, I think, especially as I (and the rest of us!) get older. The dark/black backgrounds were what you had back in the mainframe programming days and green-screens, but I think they're harder on the eyes. Isn't there some documentation as to that somewhere too? Who knows...maybe I'll go back to that on Flashback Fridays so as to feel a bit young again. lol
Ed Yourdon has died. A name that reverberated through much of my career. http://www.i-programmer.info/news/82/9377.html Not the sort of news that's welcome at any time, but especially as he was a year younger than me!

Sad news indeed but he did make a big mistake with his predictions about the severity of the Y2K problem despite selling a lot of books about it!

Either that or he helped raise the alarm (or hysteria, depending on your viewpoint) that resulting in the huge crash programs that kept airplanes from falling from the skies, the financial industry from grinding to a halt, and the end of the world as we know it. I suspect the truth is somewhere in the middle. We really don't know what would have happened if we didn't. I know I billed a lot of hours in the time leading up to 12/31/1999.
"The Rise and Fall of the American Programmer" wasn't 100% accurate, either. Hence, "The Death and Resurrection...'
Making predictions is hard, especially about the future...

He laughed all the way to the bank I'm sure about the Y2K work.

You think it was a hoax? IMO, it was a very critical warning that every major company around the globe examined and agreed with, and then invested a lot of money in fixing. The only reason that those things didn't happen is because of the advance warning by people like Yourdon. There were many problems in systems that weren't fixed, such as people getting video rental bills in the thousands because they had rented a VHS tape for 100 years, but because they weren't the type of systems that people's lives depended on, they were relatively simple to remedy manually. The important systems had already been fixed.

Of course, the hoopla was overblown by the media. I've had a lot of experience dealing with reporters over the years. Every time, and I mean _every_ time, they did a story that I was involved in, or knew the facts about, there was at least one major error in what they reported. Specialist science and technology reporters are no better at being accurate than generic journalists. Every news story that you see, from every source, contains errors, and the headlines, which are written by editors, not reporters, are often way off base in relation to the content of the story.
The media coverage of the problem was a hoax. The problem was very real.

No, not thinking it was a hoax at all. I'm just saying lots of folks loved the billable hours. If I could have, I would have too. Unfortunately, I was an employee at the time so I got the same paycheck regardless.
I had fixed the Y2K problem of a 10-year-old Foxpro/DOS MIS system in a electronics trading company. The problem was users insisting inputting 2 digits for year of dates. The patch was indeed too easy to implement and nothing went wrong in the end! ;)

I remember this person, but I could hardly tell anything useful from his work. :)
