Hey. New board.

I have submitted some code that will allow you to override the font with any font installed on your system, as well as change the font size. Gud is the expert who needs to make sure I didn't break anything, etc, but it's on the agenda.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

More magic!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Wasn't the last font Verdana?

I picked it up somewhere. Seems more likely here than any job.

I'm talking to a guy from Blizzard Entertainment tomorrow about a potential role. I'm not sure exactly why he contacted me, but I'm curious enough to have a quick call. I think this has about a 99.5% chance of going nowhere, especially since I don't hear great things about working for them.

Take the job, get me something with a Zerged Kerrigan from Starcraft and then run for your life.

What is even happening?

I don't remember what it was, and It probably doesn't read as well on your phone, but maybe we could compromise? I never read on my phone, which makes me an anacronysm or a luddite, etc. But darker would be better, at least for me. And thank you!

Also an anachronism/luddite.

Is there a way to make the text less wide? I'm not talking about the font, just the way posts span from left to right. This wouldn't be a problem on a phone, I guess, but it's hard on the eyes to read a wide string of text in paragraph form on the laptop screen. Right now, I'm just narrowing my window, but I wonder there's some setting I could change.

Please tell me I'm not the only person who can get to the board now.

Hey. New board.

Is there a way to make the text less wide?

Yes, that's in the queue too.

Here's a screenshot of my test bed with narrowed width, custom colors (I know they are kind of ugly, it was just a test, you'll be able to choose your own), and custom font and font size:

It may be a while before Gud can get these features all tested and such, but it's coming.

I'm here. Just should be asleep!

I appreciate all the work, Gris. Might be a bit before getting to version 1.1. Right now I'm just worried with basic functionality.

I'm here! You did it! Gud, this is incredible. I can't imagine how much work this must have taken. Thank you!

Hey. New board.

No worries at all. We go back to school this week, so I knew I wanted to get as much of my thinking about this off my chest as possible before I'm far too busy with other things.
