Author here. Happy to answer any questions.

The font color is unreadable on ubuntu/chrome.

Weird. It's #000 on #FFF, unless my meager CSS skills have failed me. Maybe it's just too thin or something? I'll see what I can do but probably not today. /points to the markdown link in sibling comment.

The 'Lato' font is unreadably thin for me on Linux. If I turn it off (via inspect element) and allow it to use the next one (Helvetica) then it looks fine.

Chrome renders thin fonts stupidly thin on Linux (remember that Chrome uses it's reinvents the whole wheel when it comes to rendering!).

Are you using chrome by any chance?

[lmm]

Yeah, should've said, Chrome.

Looks clean on retina mac. Maybe a font rendering issue?

I can't read it due to firewall :-(

You couldn't stick it in a gist or something could you?

I host on Github pages, so the original markdown is available at https://github.com/tgross/tgross.github.io/blob/master/_post... Does that help?

Also, what kind of corporate firewall lets you have access to Github but not tech blogs? We're hiring. Just sayin'

[shubb]

Actually the company firewall here blocked it because it automatically recognized the hexy domain name as 'suspicious'. Which if you think about it is kind of smart...

Worth knowing too - people sometimes hide analytically servers off on cryptically named domains, and maybe they get eaten by firewalls more than you'd think.

[breakingcups]

Same here, Trend Micro blocks your domain. It even goes as far as to call it a "Verified fraudulent page or threat source."

Meh. It's my personal blog. I don't care enough about that. =)

Thanks!

I guess they knew you'd say that - your company is blocked too!

IBM's (although it doesn't block all tech blogs, and who's to know why they've decided to block yours.)
