 This was going to be a snarky piece on how good typographic practice is rarely found outside of the professional realm, but nobody would want to read that. Except, perhaps, for other typography nerds. And that is part of what I have to say. But a small part.

 description: What Samsung did is not “theft.” There is no doubt that they blatantly copied some of Apple’s design elements, so based on our current legal system, Apple certainly had every right to pursue damages.

 On August 24, a jury in San Jose, California awarded $1,049,343,540 to Apple after Samsung was found to be in violation of their software and design patents. This case is monumental not because of the actual damages to be paid by Samsung, but because of the precedent it sets. There is no question that Samsung’s designs were inspired by (perhaps even copied from) the iPhone and iPad. In a statement following the ruling, Apple hailed the ruling “for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn’t right,” while Samsung stated that the verdict “will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners.”

 When iOS was first introduced, it was filled with beautiful, glossy icons with shadowing and reflections. However, there’s been a shift in the UI design as the operating system has matured.

-
-For my freshman writing seminar at Muhlenberg, I wrote a paper on a system I devised for controlling many different theatrical cueing consoles from one master console using MIDI Show Control (MSC).  I called my system [Unified Show Control (pdf)](/assets/pdf/Unified_Show_Control.pdf).
-
-Shortly after finishing this project, I discovered that [QLab][] from Figure 53 already has MSC built into it. Though it was slightly disappointing, I was thrilled that my idea already exists, albeit in a slightly different form.

-
-Installing Helvetica in Safari
-------------------------------
-
-* [Download Helvetica](http://updates.benburwell.com/safari/helvetica/latest.safariextz) to your computer.
-* Click on the Downloads icon in the toolbar.
-* Double-click on `helvetica.safariextz` to install.
-
-Installing Helvetica in Google Chrome
--------------------------------------
-
-* [Download Helvetica](http://updates.benburwell.com/chrome/helvetica/latest.crx) to your computer.
-* Click the ![triple bar](/assets/images/icons/settings-icon.png) icon on the Chrome toolbar
-* Select Tools > Extensions.
-* Locate the extension file on your computer and drag the file onto the Extensions page.
-* Review the list of permissions in the dialog that appears. If you would like to proceed, click Install.
-
-It’s not perfect; there will be some text that is not Helvetica since this is simply the application of a stylesheet. If a site is using significant amounts of JavaScript, some text may not be transformed. This will be corrected in later versions.
-
-For the most part, fonts will be replaced on sites that don’t have very specific typography. In general, you’ll find that sites that have put care into their typeface choices will have those choices preserved.

 I’ve been using [Alfred][] for some time now as an application launcher. If you’re not familiar with application launchers such as Alfred, it’s essentially Spotlight supercharged. It can find and launch applications, open files, perform custom web searches, even shut down your computer for you — all from commands you type in.

-title: Forest™ Printer Management System
-description: For my Software Engineering class, we built a printer management infrastructure.
-date: 2014-04-28 00:00:00
-category: projects
----
-
-In the Fall 2013 semester, I took a Software Engineering class. After a few weeks studying about development lifecycles, scheduling techniques, and such, we split the class into groups to propose and develop large software projects. I joined the team that was building a system that would track printer usage, display status, and collect statistics. Having previously created [a printer status project](http://mathcs.muhlenberg.edu/~bb246500/printers/), I found the idea intriguing.
-
-Several of the team members had experience using GitHub, so we decided to [create an organization](https://github.com/printerSystemCSI210) to store documents and provide version control. We had the school Math/CS department web server running Apache available for web hosting. Additionally, I had experience with [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) running on [Heroku](https://www.heroku.com/), so we had that technology in our arsenal as well.
-
-One of the first challenges we encountered that would have an impact on our architecture was the fact that most printers do not have public IP addresses and thus would need to be queried from inside the local network, while we wanted the public-facing site to be accessible regardless of physical location. This led us to developing the concept of an API which would enable a master database to be queried and updated by various components. In developing an API-central infrastructure, we were also looking down th line towards supporting client-developed applications and native applications for various platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, OS X).

-        <img src="/assets/images/forest_interaction_diagram.png" alt="Forest Interaction Diagram">
-    </a>
-</p>
-
-Our first task was to develop a data format and database schema. As we intended to use [actionhero](http://actionherojs.com) for the API server, we created a [schema for MongoDB](https://github.com/printerSystemCSI210/api-server/blob/master/initializers/_project.js) and a base [set of API commands](https://github.com/printerSystemCSI210/api-server/tree/master/actions) we would need to implement in order to get a framework of the service up and running. We [deployed this on Heroku](https://forest-api.herokuapp.com).
-
-Simultaneously, we began work on a [web frontend](https://github.com/printerSystemCSI210/frontend) [hosted on the Math/CS server](http://mathcs.muhlenberg.edu/~mb247142/forest/frontend/home.php) that would communicate with the API to display graphs using [chart.js](http://www.chartjs.org). You can make an account here and add printers, though the interface is probably still a bit buggy.
-
-Additionally, we created a [Ruby program](https://github.com/printerSystemCSI210/query-agent) that would be running on the local network and would pull printer addresses from the API and query their status and properties via SNMP and push this information back to the API at a specified interval. We began working on bundling the gem as a standalone application using [Omnibus](https://github.com/opscode/omnibus-ruby), but due to lack of time at the end of the semester, this was never completed.
-
-At the end of the semester, we had built three interacting components, each using a different technology (Node.js/Mongoose, PHP/Apache, Ruby). You can [read our final Venture Proposal (pdf)](/assets/pdf/forest_venture_proposal.pdf). While all of our components communicated over HTTP using JSON, it’s worth noting that actionhero supports socket connections over TCP/TLS, which would have been a better choice for some of our infrastructure in production. We decided to use HTTP since it was easier to deploy on Heroku’s free tier and easier to interact with without writing additional components in Ruby and PHP.
-
-We’ve talked about continuing to develop the project beyond the class, but no progress has really been made. It’s probably possible to get a working monitoring system up and running based off our code (which is [all on GitHub](https://github.com/printerSystemCSI210)), but it would require quite a bit of legwork as it currently stands.

 A common frustration of Muhlenberg students is to print a document to a dorm printer only to find that the printer had no paper when going to collect it. This leads to both frustration and wasted paper, since when more paper is put into the printer, it will print out all the queued jobs from when the tray was empty. By that time, students have often given up and printed their document to another printer.

 I recently wrote about [migrating my website to GitHub Pages](/writing/migrating-to-github-pages-and-jekyll) and noted that I wasn’t completely satisfied with my deployment workflow. Ideally, [creating a build should be done in a single step](http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html). As I wrote, my previous build workflow required me to manually compile my [LESS](http://lesscss.org) files before committing if I’d made changes. While my stylesheet doesn’t change often, this method is certainly not ideal.

 On September 29, 2014, [CloudFlare](https://www.cloudflare.com/), a web security company and CDN provider, [announced](http://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-universal-ssl/) that they would begin offering free, automatic SSL to all its customers (including those on their free plan). This is an enormous step forward for enhancing security and privacy on the Internet; while website owners would previously need to purchase an SSL certificate for their site and often pay extra for SSL hosting, CloudFlare now makes this all free. Plus, you get the benefits of their other services such as DDoS protection.
