The internet should be made to print :(

Posted by Michael Dale on Sun, 31 Oct 2004 3:06 PM

When you print something off the internet or publish something on to the internet it just feels weird. Using print CSS helps (http://blog.dalegroup.net/archive/blog/newsid/127) but when you have typed a few thousand word thing and put it online it feels as though it is only a page or something.

It's just so depressing.

Printed stuff rules. I don't like really any large amount of text on a screen, I'll always print it. Books are even better than printed pieces of paper. That it why I want to purchase the FreeBSD handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html). Not print it or read it off the screen. Books > printed sheets of paper > screen.

Speaking of print. Print design, such as business cards or brochures are cool. I wish I had some graphical creative skill.

On another topic. In about 1 hour we're getting a billet from France who speaks no English and is 12 years old. Should be interesting...

...and now I've run out of paper for my printer.
