It's a good day for: Fonts

So it turns out (on the Simpsons) that there are these things called fonts. They are strange beasts that arrive from the aether in zipped form, then expand into crystal trees when you add water! More importantly, they come in handwriting-esque style for comics! Imagine just how much more funny these strips might be if you could actually read the words straight off instead of having to send off for a distance learning cryptography kit with all the paypal induced stress that entails.

It occurs to me that it may actually be better for me to leave it there with you imagining the comic being funny.

Is it working?

Not so much? Alright so I have updated the sixth strip so that the text is in computer not hand - the observant among you may notice some other changes as well :)

Let me know if it helps and please do not track me down and kill me on the basis that it's comic sans because it isn't! Honest!

It's a bad day for: Proprietary file formats

Oh you can send it Word, you can sent it in Powerpoint. God forbid you might even send it in pdf (if the irony doesn't kill you). Most of all you might send the raw data in text format. However should you choose to send it in .jws then it is just very slightly possible that I will be forced to poke you in the eye on Monday. Yup - it's definitely time to start considering which colour of eye-patch will go best with your hair.

The science bit

Ahhhh AUC experiments. After two successive experiments in which pairs of samples came out weighing almost precisely what the other should have weighed, I have hit on a fool proof solution. I am only running one sample by itself....
