SteelSkin.net – The Ramblings of Chris Nutt

After a post by ~JoanaRa, I decided to clear out the cruft from my DA account. This included a scrap that got more Favs than the final version. It was the Naruto MSN Avatars, it had before deletion 56! favs and thats 8 more than the finished version o.O. For those who fav'd I thank you, but I haven't really removed the deviation as that scrap was just an earlier version.

As you may or may not know I really like the G-Shock Polygon.  Well guess what I just received one through the post. I think I just prefer the black one a bit more than this, but I like this one very much and considering I got it for a quarter of the UK street price I am a happy man.

It’s all very tech and comes with a thick multi-language manual. Luckily I just had to set my city to LON and all was fine.

Urgh, I have to remove by hand so many second spaces from word documents, in order for the hidden extra space to not be encoded into a junk character in HTML. So many people are taught when learning to type that you should use a double space after a sentence. This was correct in the past when text was manually typeset and typewriters were the standard. Even latter when DOS based Word Processors were the norm this was correct. Why not now? you may ask, simple we no longer use monospace fonts, proportional fonts are the standard and old school hacks around the inadequacies of monospace spaces are just that HACKS. So unless you are using a monospace font, please for the love of all that is good in the world STOP DOUBLE SPACING AFTER FULL STOPS.

Thank You.
