Segoe and the custard truck
Two entirely unrelated items, but a headline that needed to exist somewhere on the web. It should be the name of a band, or a child's book, perhaps. Anyway, I've made a minor tweak to this site, so if you're using Windows Vista Beta 2 or 2007 Microsoft Office System Beta 2 you'll see the typeface has changed to Segoe UI. For everyone else it should still be Verdana.
Second, I've discovered the existence of custard trucks. I had no idea there was such a thing until this morning when I saw a truck that looked exactly like a petrol tanker only the tank was yellow and it said CUSTARD on the back. At first I assumed it was a petrol tanker owned by Custard and Sons, Purveyors of Fine Petroleum Products, but a closer look at the side of the truck confirmed that it did actually contain custard (there were other words on the side such as 'whey' and 'milk products'). Unfortunately, I didn't have a stick of rhubarb with me, or I would have waved it at the driver.
