Shrinking
I've had a bit of a play with the formatting of the site. The text was just a bit HUGE and it was bugging me. I'm using proportional fonts so if you can't read it because it's too small for you now you can resize the text with the text size controls in your web browser options (or hold down ctrl and move your mouse wheel up and down).
Speaking of not being able to see things, I have to go and pick up my first ever pairs of glasses today (buy one get one free). My sight's been bugging me recently and according to the very nice girl (can you call a qualified optician a girl?) in Specsavers I have a slightly weak left eye which is what's confusing my brain, especially after long hours of staring at a computer screen every day. I was surprised to find that my current symptoms of extreme blindness are considered by opticians to be a very mild almost trivial prescription. I have newfound sympathy for people whos eyesight is actually pretty bad. Being slightly over competitive about most things I still didn't like 'failing' any of the areas of the test though. It was my first eye test in about 15 years or so and things seem very high tech these days. Also surprising was that glasses didn't make me look noticably more ridiculous than I already do in fact I maybe even thought it looked ok?
Oh, Brits were dreadful yesterday. Admittedly I only saw bits the second half but there were no redeeming features at all from what I could tell. Shame.
