Narvik sparer minst 9 millioner på å bruke Skolelinux
+
10th May 2013
+

I fjor sommer ble jeg +gledelig +overrasket over et oppslag i avisen Fremover om Narvik kommunes +bruk av Skolelinux. Oppslaget +var basert på et notat som besvarte spørsmål fra ordfører Tor Nysæter +og rådgiver for skolesektoren, Petter Falkbu, om bruken av Skolelinux +i Narvikskolene og konstnaden ved å gå over til Windows. For litt +over en uke siden siden fikk jeg endelig bedt kommunen om å få innsyn +i dette notatet, og det ble oversendt på epost tirsdag. Jeg fikk +lagt +ut notatet samme dag, og fikk i dag sjekket postlista til Narvik, +der jeg fant notatet som +sak +2013/1023.

+ +

Notatet forteller at Narvik ville måtte betalt minst 9 millioner +for å gå over til Windows på skolene. I tillegg dokumenterer notatet +at læreplanens krav oppfylles uten problemer ved bruk av Skolelinux. +Jeg anbefaler alle å lese de 10 sidene med gode argumenter for å kutte +unødige utgifter på IT i skoleverket. :)

Change the font, save the world (and save some money in the process)
-
26th March 2013

Would you like to help the environment and save money at the same -time, without much sacrifice? A small step could be to change the -font you use when printing.

- -

Three years ago, -Ars -Technica reported how the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay -changed their default front from -Arial to -Century -Gothic to save money. The Century Gothic font uses 30% less toner -than Arial to print the same text. In other word, you could cut your -toner costs by 30% (or actually, increase your toner supply life time -by more than 30%), by simply changing the default font used in your -prints.

- -

But it is not quite obvious how much one will save by switching. -The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay said it used $100,000 per year -on ink and toner cartridges, according to -a report from -TwinCities.com, and expected to save between $5,000 and $10,000 -per year by asking staff and students to use a different font. Not -all PDFs and documents are created internally, and those from external -sources will most likely still use a different font. Also, the -Century Gothic font is slightly wider than Arial, and thus might use -more sheets of paper to print the same text, so the total saving -depend on the documents printed.

- -

But it is definitely something to consider, if you want to reduce -the amount of trash, decrease the amount of toner used in the world, -and save some money in the process.

- -

Update 2013-04-10: If you want to know how much ink/toner could be -saved when switching between fonts, Inkfarm got a -service to calculate the -difference between font pairs. They also -recommend -which fonts to use to save ink. Check it out. :) While updating -this blog post, I also came across a blog post from InkCloners, -listing -the fonts they recommend, with Centory Gothic at the top.
