Tuesday thread, incorporating "does DiS look weird to anyone else?"

plasticniki [Edit] [Delete] 42 replies 09:06, 9 September '14

Like, the font looks a bit wrong. idk, might be Chrome.

Are we okay? I'm okay. Though I keep trying to book a haircut and when I phone the college an answer phone message kicks in saying WE WILL OPEN AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 8TH. It's the 9th now, you idiots. I JUST WANT A VERY CHEAP HAIRCUT FFS.

  • I'm okay

    I'm viewing DiS on IE9 - the Bad Neighbours ad doesn't load so there's less jumpiness. Looks fine to me.

    thewarn-watch: his shirt looked unironed from a distance this morning.

  • It looks bad really.

    It still needs to be white on the background and not have this annoying serif font.

    • also, i'm on a bad connection

      and i often seem to have to wait 30 seconds for text to load, like i'm having to download the font, but then when it does load it's just standard georgia?!?!?!

    The Bose advert is making me want to cry.

    Waiting for bae to wake up so we can go to the heights of Abraham and then go cycling

    meowington | 9 Sep '14, 09:24 | X

      like it though, might start using it

  • Seriously, the font looks a bit small, and is rendering oddly

    (not 100% horribly) on some websites. The system we use at work is cloud-based and fucking hell it now looks awful HOW IS THIS A THING

    • if it's only chrome that's rendering weirdly

      then you might want to check that your magnification settings haven't been changed by an update or something, happened to my laptop ages ago and made chrome weird but everything else fine. it's in control panel > display > change the size of all items on Windows 8, probably something similar on 7.

      breakfast_t_england @plasticniki | 9 Sep '14, 09:35 | X
      • My word.

        It was set to 150%. Set it back to 100%, still doesn't look right.

        plasticniki @breakfast_t_england | 9 Sep '14, 09:41 | X
        • that's all i've got, sorry

          well that and turning it off and on again

  • morning

    site looks ok to me on chrome, do have adblock on otherwise it crashes every other page so that might be helping things.

    i might have an eye test today, depends on whether vision express or whoever it was i asked for an appointment get back to me. they said they'd get back within a day, it's been a day, my preferred appointment time was an hour ago so er guess i'm not going to that unless i gain access to a time machine (and tbf if i did, i'd do more interesting things with it than attend an eye test). don't think my sight has got worse but i want new glasses dammit!

  • Went to the launch of the new Jaguar last night.

    It was fucking mental. I am tired.

    badmanreturns | 9 Sep '14, 09:32 | X
    • were there a load of red buses with jaguar adverts on them?

      walked past a load parked on aldwych on the way home, was wondering what they were about

      breakfast_t_england @badmanreturns | 9 Sep '14, 09:36 | X
      • Yep they were busing the plebs in

        I was somehow a VIP which was the simultaneously the most amazing and embarrassing event of my life. Being dressed in a t-shirt and Adidas jacket stood next to David Gandy in a well-tailored tweed suit was intensely awkward.

        Oh and Stirling Moss was there!!!!!

        Gonna stop now cos this is just blatant bragging.

        badmanreturns @breakfast_t_england | 9 Sep '14, 09:45 | X
        • someone at work once had to call Stirling Moss

          had no idea who he was until it was pointed out afterwards - said he sounded like a nice man though.

          breakfast_t_england @badmanreturns | 9 Sep '14, 10:05 | X
    • would you recommend the automatic tranny

      or the manual tranny? 6 speed or 7?

      jontosh2001 @badmanreturns | 9 Sep '14, 11:29 | X

  • This has happened to me.

    Don't mind the font. Serif fonts are better for reading anyway.

    Ichor | 9 Sep '14, 10:08 | X
  • looks fine to me

    Chrome is being an utter flange on my laptop though.

    I've got an absolutely ludicrous amount of work to do and every single urgent task is an absolute shiter. My motivation's gone already.

    *checks watch*

  • hey pn

    The other night I dreamt I bought you a panini football sticker book. Exciting stuff, you were well pleased although it had no stickers with it.

    Also decided not to do a food shop last week to 'use stuff up' we are really scraping the tin stores for tea now. Found a few best before 2006 ones too

    Slicky | 9 Sep '14, 10:51 | X
    • :D

      Amazing dream.

      I found a packet of jelly in the cupboard at the weekend. Best before March 2013. It'll probably be okay, right?

      plasticniki @Slicky | 9 Sep '14, 10:54 | X
      • HOW COULD JELLY GO OFF?

        TheoGB @plasticniki | 9 Sep '14, 11:02 | X

          • Same as most meat based products?

            It's hooves to start with, so I'm not sure it's going to get any better

  • Morning PN

    Got a band rehearsal later, that's about it for today.

    Last night was a tour de force. Carvery after dinner (£5.25) with friends, then played a few rounds of Happy Families while listening to the new Sting album (whole new definition of pain), then watched the Banshee season finale and topped off with ep 4 of AHS:Asylum with my housemate. Life may never get that good again.

  • Font issue

    Chrome was updated late last week. There's a bug in it whereby Gill Sans is rendering inappropriately:

    Had an interview earlier. Now in I'm a spoons with a pint and a breakfast. How bloody depressing.

    Dans | 9 Sep '14, 11:29 | X
    • Could be worse.

      you could be posting about it on DiS.

      Wish I was in Spoons with a pint and a breakie.

      Hope the interview outcome is what you hoped for xxxx
