minor computer annoyances
Aug. 24th, 2010 06:00 pmSome of these are things I've fixed, some of them aren't.
1. New VLC makes me go aaaaaaargh. Every time I start it up or open a new file, it tries to rebuild the font cache. ( and then? more about the font cache )
2. So, okay, Helvetica Neue is a shitty web font in Firefox for Windows. ( fistshake at designers who insist on Helvetica )
3. Websites that don't put a line break between paragraphs. Especially with lots of text. NARGH. I have so much trouble reading e.g. racialicious's link roundups, but readability has trouble parsing the unordered list format, and zap doesn't make bookmarklets for that. I have looked for other bookmarklets to add line breaks to lists, but my googlefu failed me. Anybody else have anything?
