Fixing Textmate’s font appearance on an external monitor
A problem that had been plaguing me for a while was my main programming text editor’s font appearance was dimmed whenever I launch it up on my Dell 3008WFP. To make things tricky, the problem only showed up intermittently. Sometimes it would look perfectly fine. See the pictures below for a comparison.
It took me a while to figure out what caused it. It happens when I launch Textmate with my monitor connected. If I launch it on my laptop first, then connect it to the main monitor, then everything is fine. I had wrongly suspected that I had a monitor problem (sorry Dell).
A quick search on Duckduckgo http://duckduckgo.com/?q=textmate+font+external+monitor+problem shows that OS X doesn’t seem to detect the correct font smoothing style for flat panels.
Choosing “Medium” fixed it

Hello. This is my title.
Sometimes I just don’t wanna post by email. I want to post using the web interface but it’s incredibly hard to find. I can’t shift tab here unfortunately to get to the title.
Taylor Swift reminds me of a fox..
So I started searching for foxes and to my surprise I found the Swift fox! How cute.
USC vs CAL
oon:
I was watching the USC/CAL game with a couple of my friends at Manny’s (formerly Raleigh’s) when my friend got into this heated argument with these two girls from USC. They were being obnoxious and bitchy, and if they were dudes, they would’ve got their ass kicked.
I missed the first half of the conversation, but from what my friend had told me, they kept bashing Cal, saying USC is better in every aspect. According to them, USC students are more socially adept, have better leadership skills, and can get better jobs. The audacity of these women to come to Berkeley territory and gloat about their school is fucking incredible.
Anyway, I only heard the latter half of the conversation and it went something like this:
Friend: Ok, let me ask you this, do you make 100k? Are you making a 100k right now?
USC girl: Well, we just started working…
Friend: So you don’t?
USC girl: I didn’t say that.
Friend: Well, let me tell you something. I do so shut the fuck up.
My friend was lying his ass off.
