Internets of Interest: 16^th Jun

Collection of use­ful, rel­ev­ant or inane places on the the Internets for 16^th Jun:

• ExpanDrivel ” Menlo /​ Vera Sans Mono Comparison — The ExpanDrive Blog — This art­icle has ‘switch­ing’ graph­ics show­ing the dif­fer­ences between con­sole fonts. Once you really ‘see’ the dif­fer­ences you under­stand what all the fuss is about.

  Highly recom­mend you look at the graph­ics on the dif­fer­ences between fonts. Download the free fonts at least and con­fig­ure your PUTTY to default to using these fonts.

• Betalogue » Blog Archive » Safari 4’s Full-​​Page Zoom: Impressive — He is right, using Command + on the key­board increases the entire web page not just the text. That’s way clever after an eight hour ses­sion of read­ing web pages on Cisco UCS and try­ing to work out what you need to buy. Then read­ing design guides.

  Get Safari and use it for gen­eral read­ing. The font ren­der­ing and graph­ics engine (even on Windows) is much bet­ter than (dare I say it) Firefox. But keep Firefox for spe­cial pur­poses such as CiscoWorks or other Java sites.

• SourceForge​.net: Wireshark: Files — Wireshark 1.2 goes stable. Time for a download!
