Matt,

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this brilliant piece on squares and primes (primes being my personal favorite).

Sorry I missed square day!

oh, you’re right. I’ve made a quick adjustment to the AmbigramMaker.xaml. It’s now a fixed width (1000 x 500). I was too lazy to figure out how to make it work for any browser size. You’ll note that there is a small crosshair at the center now.

Thanks for the link to the ambigram maker over at FlipScript.

Nice article, and tool. Although, when I tried it, the two “halves” of my ambigram didn’t meet in the middle (there was a gap in the center that spanned almost a third of the entire design width).

Other than that, cool idea!

Hmm.. a great prog album - YES
The LAST GREAT prog album.. err.. NO.
I can think of several in the nineties and noughties by Marillion, Radiohead and others

Anyone have any luck on finding this game? I found a product description page here (http://www.manufacturers.com.tw/showroom-6588-4-5-0000015262-0.php) and have contacted them about how to purchase one from them. I had this puzzle as a child (about 15 years ago) and loved it. I have searched high and low for it since then. I’ll keep you all posted if I hear back from them or find anywhere else to buy it.

Oh, by the way, you probably will need the Silverlight 2.0 plugin to see the xaml files (http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/)

I’ve been running this for about twenty minutes now, and kind of like it. Particularly nice is the fact that the eye doesn’t have to jump all over the place to read it. Hours and minutes are concentrated into a 30-degree-or-smaller wedge, and seconds still fit into a 60-degree-or-smaller wedge.
