I was cheating (because Inkscape is hard) by simply eyeballing the distance between the name and the block numbers, then grouping both and centering it to the sign.
Would it look better if I kept the block number fixed at a specific position on the left, then centered the name in the remaining space?

Well, it varies from city to city. I was trying to make one up because Columbus's real-life signs don't include block numbers at all.
Perhaps I should look at pictures of signs from other cities and see how they do it...
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
Oh. Well, tomorrow I'll go take a look how Lubbock handles theirs. I imagine that they're centered on at least something, or they're offset from the edge a certain distance.

I am too thin skinned. That is definitely my problem.
I don't want to be identified with something that is rightfully denounced and derided because it is dangerous and destructive. And I don't understand how this can be wrong.
You know what, I don't think I should have made that post.
I'm talking about the self I should just get over. That's the 'thing'. And it's not even dangerous or destructive, that's just all it can ever potentially do or stand for, but I don't DO anything so that's moot.

Ever since the feds started mandating the countdown signals for new installations, the old style have been selling really cheap. The problem is that's just the electronics--the housing is harder to come by, because cities tend to re-use the same housing when they upgrade their signals. Saves tax dollars, so I guess I can't complain.

Fuck, I did that thing again where I posted about my obsessions in the middle of a serious conversation. >_<
I'm sorry, Fouria. I hope you feel better soon, too.
No no no no no. Your obsessions are what this thread is for!
I mean, thank you. I'm sorry.
I like reading about other people's interests. I learn things that way. And half the reason I've been in this funk at all is from taking things seriously all the time.

I just feel kinda rude when people are talking about something and instead of contributing I drop in with something about HEY LOOK TRAFFIC CONTROL. It's the kind of thing I had to spend years training myself out of in real-life conversations, so it feels wrong on the internet, too.
Actually, I think now I understand why Professor Gator apologizes so much...
I just feel kinda rude when people are talking about something and instead of contributing I drop in with FIRST WORLD COLLEGE BOY ANGST JESUS WHEN DOES IT EVEN STOP FOR FUCKS SAKE etc. etc. Which is no less rude in real life, so perhaps we're both rude.
Heapers have obsessions with traffic signals and cartoon voice acting and old gaming systems and obscure music and philosophy, which is perhaps not normal but is definitely a lot more interesting than self-obsession or obsession with introspection.

On a lighter note: anyone wanna hear a mildly amusing crosswalk anecdote?

At Ohio Wesleyan University, there's a place where they turned what had been a regular street into a pedestrians-only walkway. But they were a bit sloppy: Where the walkway meets the main road, they left not only the pedestrian signals in place, but also the regular red/yellow/green signals that used to be for cars. The latter are still timed for cars, so often the green light will be on after the pedestrian signals have started flashing DONT WALK.
When I went to summer camp at the college in sixth grade, my fellow campers and I reached a bizarre conclusion:
The crosswalk light is flashing DONT WALK.
The regular traffic light is still green.
Normally that would mean cars can go, but we have to wait.
But there are no cars, because this isn't a street.
Therefore, the green light must be telling us we're allowed to go, even though the ped signal says DONT WALK.
So, yeah, a bit of flawed logic there.
But the funniest part? The walkway is officially called the James A. Young Memorial Walkway. Guess how everybody (including official OWU materials) abbreviates that name?

Yep. It's the JAYwalk. We're jaywalking at the end of the JAYwalk.
Also mi mama was kind enough to bring my laptop with her, so I am not iPosting for once.
Also, this thing keeps installing updates. I just got done with one set of them, and now it's prompting me to install more. I did name it Teletraan-1, maybe it's trying to scan an alt-mode.
So I am within ear/eyeshot of the news, and there is currently a movie out called Pitch Perfect. It's apparently about (providing I heard the summary right) an autistic girl joining an acapella group and "taking it out of its comfort zone", this was followed by a clip of said (all white) group singing B.L.A.C.K.S.T.R.E.E.T's "No Diggity".

New computers always install a shitload of updates, because, well, the software preloaded on the disk is a couple months old and Microsoft et al have released bucketloads of updates since then.
Also "autistic" is a pleasant word to me. I don't know why.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."

BECAUSE THERE SURE ISN'T ANYONE OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN DESCENT IN ANY OF THOSE PLACES, RIGHT, ANDREW?
He's doing a history of the world, and feels the need to inject this stupid secular romanticism into it every now and then.

wat.
This must have been intentional
I like my explanation better....
also "autistic" has lots of clicks in it. So it's a nice bricky word.
TV guy wants us to sign a petition that Congress doesn't get paid if they don't sign a particular budget reform law.
THAT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS, TOM.
WHY ARE YOU SENATOR.
Can you staunch the bleeding?
I am back again.
At another McDonald's We were at a different one before, now we're waiting here because apparently she's dropping something off for a coworker.
