geoffroy··on Code.org – Dedicated to growing computer programming education

In France, we were taught Logo when I was 9/10 (back in 85) on Thomson computers (French equivalent of Sinclair ZX Spectrum) at school. http://regards.sur.sciences.free.fr/ordis/logo/logo.htm I got stuck into programming since then !

geoffroy··on Font Rendering - Mac vs Ubuntu

BTW, everything looks so big on unbuntu 12.04 compared to win xp on my laptop at 1280 x 800 px res. Is it normal ? even reducing the font size on ubuntu to 10px does not change much. I can't see as much thing on the screen on ubuntu compared to win xp, playschool like. Not very convenient for surfing or coding.

geoffroy··on Programming Music with Overtone

I've been learning SuperCollider for a month or so. It's a weird but very interesting and powerful language. Got some of the nice elements of Ruby : lambda functions, live coding, etc. with realtime goodness.

Overtone is a Clojure port of SC, but since I don't know Clojure, I chose to learn SC language directly (and the community is very good).

Would love to have a Ruby port of SC though!
