Despite having a population of over 1.1 million people, Adelaide is considered a "small town" by other cities in Australia—in particular Melbourne and Sydney. That said, picking on Adelaide is also a hobby and recurring joke for people in Melbourne and Sydney. Quit picking on us or we'll murder you. ![]() -------------------- |

I have been experiencing vivid dreams while—and since—coming off of Efexor. Last night I think I dreamt about web development, except in the dream it didn't resemble actual web development work at all. -------------------- |

I'm progressing in Super Metroid, albeit slowly. I'm very bad at it. I've defeated two bosses now (I don't count the one at the beginning, that's more a part of the intro), but one of them was through sheer luck. I am pretty bad at dodging things. Shooting diagonally doesn't seem to be easy either. It can't be done without moving, can it? -------------------- |

12:48pm on Friday the 13th. In Adelaide, Australia. -------------------- |

It's worth checking. My athlon's motherboard had a persistent bug for a couple of years before it was fixed in a chipset driver update. That said, I had to wait two years for said fix. -------------------- |

Originally posted by Black Lord Well, it IS partial compensation for the fact I'm using the lightest variation on the typeface: for those of you who get to see my "layout" in all its true typographic glory. -------------------- |

Originally posted by devin I'm betting you're not seeing it as I'm seeing it. ![]() Yes, the text is large, but it's also the lightest variation on Helvetica Neue; which means it's whisper thin. The font-stack has been set up so if you don't have Helvetica Neue, you just get Helvetica. And if you don't have Helvetica, you get (ugh) Arial, it's cheap knock-off cousin. Unfortunately, neither Helvetica or Arial have a font-weight variation as light as Helvetica Neue. I'd consider using Gill Sans Std, but I am not sure which variations on that are available in Windows by default these days. It's been a year since I used Windows fonts. I don't like the default weight for Gill Sans Std except as a heading. -------------------- |

Arial is nearly identical to Helvetica in proportions and weight, but with subtle structural and balance differences. I prefer Helvetica, but it's the original, it's better balanced, and rounded. Compare the roundness of the capital letter G from Helvetica and Arial. That said, Helvetica is a classic. It's been used in countless things, you won't have to look far for a logo with it. Arial is passable, but I certainly wouldn't use it for any important design work, and I prefer to use Helvetica where I can. -------------------- |

Originally posted by OnyxHm. For Windows, probably. I know it's a default font on Macintosh. D'oh. Haha, well, Mac users get to see the sexy lite font. Eh, perhaps I'll look in to using Gill Sans, although I'm not sure: again, which variation is it that Windows has? I have Gill Sans Std, Gill Sans MT, and just Gill Sans. Gill Sans is another classic typeface, but again I prefer its light versions. -------------------- |

Different font stack: Gill Sans Std, Gill Sans MT, and Gill Sans. And then Arial, if you're somehow one of the few people in the world that doesn't have a variant of Gill Sans. Looks like both Gill Sans Std and Gill Sans have a light variation. Gill Sans MT does not. -------------------- |

Eh. I liked Helvetica. ![]() But Gill Sans is my other go-to font. I even wrote an entire User Guide in it. It's a much more unique font than Helvetica, although I sometimes get hung up on the lowercase letter a in it, because it's the only letter that doesn't seem to balance right. -------------------- |
