I'm going to print all these on one sheet and call it art.

It looks like they've got a version of old-school "penmanship paper." I love it.

I use tiny postscript files for graph paper and polar plotting paper. Just edit the top as needed and send them to the printer. Or to preview, or ghostview, or whatever. When's the last time you got a useful program that's half a KB?

Those are some nice papers. But my favorite is this stuff that works perfectly underwater with a pencil.

You're (/used to be) a tabletop RPGer, weren't you?

Regardless of my previous post in that other thread - Amro - you rock.

Any you'all familiar with Tufte?

Nah, porpoise (I had to google "RPG"). I really just needed a piece of graph paper to plot the dimensions of a potential new apartment, and found this site. I probably think it is much cooler than I should, considering my limited future use for all those papers. (And, thanks.)

Yeah.

This is good, indeed. Although, I find ruling my own paper by hand incredibly comforting. Nerdy, but true.
