wat... "your time is more valuable than any of the people".. i couldn't disagree with this more... but the concept of using time where best placed I agree with.

Great to see praise for Ubuntu Mono font... Whilst it was developed (and funded) for Ubuntu, it is released under a free licence, available on google docs and google fonts. I'll give Operator Mono a try... but i absolutely love Ubuntu
