In the black

Cuts are very much in the news at the moment.

In many forms. From government spending, to evidence of spending by those who seek to govern.

I am toddling off now to get my first hard copy of The Daily Telegraph in an age, as I think the redacted supplement might be worthy of keeping.

However, it's all out there in various places on line, too.

But having looked at these I do rather fear for the printers of Britain, as I suspect black ink will be getting lathered on page upon page.

Now I am just wondering why 'they', in anticipation of near inevitable printouts, cannot have just blotted out the redacted elements with a white box, as I can do with one click and drag on MS Word.

What we have seems bad for pockets and planet. Not to mention what is going on in Parliament.

No change there then.

An Ink Saving Font

This is one of those ideas that it so simple it makes you wish you'd thought of it first.

Ecofont, as reported on the EcoGeek site, can save up to 20% of the ink when printing a page of text compared with a normal font. There is a link on the page to where you can download it for free.

Like all the best ideas, simple yet very effective.
