Geograph is a very interesting project collecting photographs representing every square kilometre in the British Isles.

At the moment there are three for Kirkcaldy (although technically two of them are for Dysart and one of them is practically there anyway).

I might go out and take some photographs for it now! I just need to find a pretty part of Kirkcaldy…

I’d quite like to be filling in the FIA’s survey asking — *gasp* — Formula 1 fans stuff like, you know, what would Formula 1 fans like Formula 1 to be like?

Unfortunately for the server, too many Formula 1 fans want to have a say. Hmm.

So it seems as though it wasn’t a hoecs.

Laura K. Krishna is a plagiarist dumb kid.

You see, you’re not supposed to know her surname any more. Even though if you just scroll down you’ll see it.

It must be pretty agonising for her. But it’s all her damn fault. I have no sympathy for her. She was caught plagiarising. She offered somebody money to write her paper for her, and apparently didn’t even send out the money. Lie after lie after lie.

Well these past couple of days have been heavy on the blog and especially the linklog.

I was going to post this link down here to make sure it got more attention — I’m never sure if people check the linklog. And then I realised that despite the fact I only posted it yesterday, it’s already been displaced by 15 other links!

But make sure you see this — 7:35 in the morning. It’s fantastic.

New Links have another site of free fonts up their sleeve. This time it’s a site dedicated to bands’ / films’ / videogames’ fonts.

I was just thinking of writing another post about fonts, inspired by this thread on WATMM.

I stand by my post:

Arial is shit.

Helvetica is a million times better.

Comic Sans ought to be made illegal.

Trebuchet MS is nice.

But Verdana is versatile.

But I forgot to mention Georgia! Oh man. And when I thought about it, it actually struck me how great it is. I don’t like many serif fonts, but Georgia is just awesome. It looks very traditional, old-fashioned and formal. But it has a very contemporary feel to it. It looks sharp and it is also odd, but not in a way that means you can’t read it.

I did once attempt to change my blog’s main font to Georgia, but it actually looked rubbish. That might have been because it totally clashed with the orange and grey colour scheme.

Speaking of chaning fonts, Lucidia Sans? I’ve been thinking about it…
