For future reference, this level of question is better suited to an open thread.

How does one create an open thread? The only options I had available were this and comments. Is it something you need minimum karma for?

No idea. Are you sure someone didn't link to Khan academy or something like that?

If I was reliable enough to be sure, then I'd probably know where the comment in question was :P But I am fairly confident. They weren't professionally made videos (nor was the website professional-looking), just a set by this one guy explaining one bit of maths at a time.

Looking for Less Wronger's maths videos?

A while ago I saw someone on here who'd linked back to his homepage, where he had dozens, possibly hundreds of bite-size maths tutorial videos. I'm now unable to find them, and wondering if anyone knows the videos I'm talking about?

Ta,

I agree with Nesov; the font is fine, but size and inter-line spacing mean I can only see ~130 words on my netbook's screen at a time.

We've changed it to a more standard font now. How's that?

That may be a silly comment, or a OS issue, but I find the font on that blog very painful to read. Why can't people stick with standard fonts on their web site ?

We've been experimenting a bit with the font. A bit of Googling failed to yield any scientific data on what font types people prefer, though there's a fair bit on font size. Sounds like a new test is in order, though... (incidentally, if you or anyone else reading this happen to know of any decent studies on fonts for reading online, I'd be keen to see it).

I think it is fair to say looking for desperation is an unusual dating strategy for young women (though if desperation isn't a turn-off for you, clearly a winning one).

Hitting on desperate boys(/girls) is an unusual strategy by definition...

Apologies for being a bit OT, but new account so I can't post this question directly (if that's even the proper approach) - and they're semi-relevant to this question.

I'm trying to remember the location of some maths teaching videos, or enough about them to find them again. They were made by a member of the LW community, though hosted on his own page, and mentioned in a post about self-improvement or similar. I think I mentioned them on here before - they seemed like great videos individually, though sadly lacking signposts from one to the next as a collection. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?
