How to save money printing?

Filed under: Interesting — george @ 2:22 pm

Well some people had a very simple idea! Take a font, put some holes in it, and tada, saving ink while printing! up to 20% on ink costs to be more precise! The font is called Ecofont and it is the work of a Dutch company which took an Open Source Sans Serif font (didn’t know open sourced fonts existed, whats next? Open source food?? ) and started experimenting trying to figure out how many wholes one can use before the font becomes unreadable. Give it a try! You can find it at http://www.ecofont.eu/downloads_en.html

For those who with a computer science background or any other background which included programing then you might be familiar with the concept of object oriented programing and functional programing.  Sadly the second was considered to be out of fashion by many and i remember people i used to study with in Cyprus demanding that they be thought OOP.  This article though gives us reasons why functional programing might be the way forward.  Click here!
