… and it’s neither a Kerry nor a Kennedy.
Beaker is back blogging after a brief hiatus, and wastes no time setting his sights on a particularly heinous example of Leftist Ass-hattery.
Figures it’d be a grad student. In Massachussetts, of course.

Today I took a look at my visitor stats, which actually include a tally of the screen resolutions on the computer monitors of all my visitors. I was surprised to learn that almost 1 in 5 visitors to this site have a screen resolution of 800×600 or less.
When I view this site, it is on one of three PCs: a WindowsXP box with the monitor at 1280×1024, another XP box with the res set to 1152×864, and a Linux box with the resolution set to 1600×1200. In all cases, this site looks fine, so I usually don’t stop to think about visitors with lower screen resolutions.
For instance, in this post the graphic is 500 pixels wide. I did a quick test and changed the res on one XP machine to 800×600, and voila, the post (and indeed the whole blog) looked pretty bad. The graphic was abruptly chopped off, which somewhat invalidated the point of that post.
If you are running at 800×600 (or smaller), please leave a comment to this post. I’d like to know a) why you use that screen res, b) whether you think I should change my layout at all, and c) what changes you might like to see.
I’ll take these comments seriously, but I will not guarantee that I will actually implement any changes.
I will, however, take steps in future to make any graphics I post more user-friendly.
