[^1]: I've replaced the link, as Samsung clearly no-longer acknowledges this camera's existance!

It seems like I've always been fascinated by the printed word, the mechanisms humans have built for sharing their thoughts further and wider. I remember discovering that _cliché_ is an onomatopoeia-that it sounds like what it describes: the noise a printing press makes when it stamps a word or phrase so common the block must be made out of a different material. But these letters were unusual enough that I wouldn't be able to start from anything existing. It was time to learn about making a font.

I downloaded a trial of the excellent [Glyphs](https://glyphsapp.com/) font-design application and began to build something that might honour my friend's creation, at least as much as the bedridden delirium my cold had cultivated would allow. I scanned the postcard, used clever software to draw around the outside of the characters, split them up, then used Glyphs to tease these unusual shapes into the parts of the font anatomy I was [learning about](https://typedecon.com/blogs/type-glossary). How much of that "F" is a [descender](https://typedecon.com/blogs/type-glossary/descender)? Is that a [swash](https://typedecon.com/blogs/type-glossary/swash) on that "Z"? How much energy did I have for [ligatures](https://typedecon.com/blogs/type-glossary/ligature)? These shapes were so eccentric, where on earth should the [cap line](https://typedecon.com/blogs/type-glossary/cap-line) go?

Just as the evening started to draw in, I completed this font I call Caspian. I used it to send my friend a couple of artsy postcards but I also wanted to do something more.

I like Facebook (despite its recent frustrating changes that make walls confusing) but I have a niggle as a developer using their APIs. If you choose to use Facebook's XFBML to put a commenting system on your blog (like I do here) then anyone posting that page inside facebook has a separate comments list. Try posting this page on facebook[^1], if you comment on that post in your feed the comments won't appear on this page and things you write here won't appear there.

Granted, sometimes this behaviour is preferable (popular sites might have thousands of comments on one page, and 99% will probably not be your friends or anyone you care about) but it would be good if when you initially 'share' a link on facebook, while the javascript is grabbing the pictures and headlines from the page, it would also look for XFBML and tie the commenting systems together if the site publisher had the relevant option toggled in their [developer settings](http://www.facebook.com/developers/). You could even have non-friends' posts hidden by default (or listed merely as '34 other posts').

I realise its hardly a pressing problem, but I really love Facebook's interconnectivity and I use off-site Facebook commenting in a couple of places[^2], it'd be nice to see it happen!
