Welcome to Anomalous
Introduction
Anomalous - Deviating from (or inconsistent with) what is standard, normal, or expected. irregular; abnormal; incongruous or inconsistent.
Dictionary dot coms, like anomalous.com, are in limited supply these days, which means they're not so easy to acquire. In addition, they're brandable and usually come with a certain degree of inherent traffic. This tends to make them pretty sought after amongst the usual online startup crowd and business multitude alike.
Explore the word 'anomalous' on the internet and you'll be presented with a regalia of sites catering to various anomalous phenomena - or phenomena that falls outside of current understanding. In fact, there's an entire branch of science called anomalistics devoted to the study of scientific anomalies. The detection of anomalies from relevant data can be useful in fields such as computer science.
Anyway, as interesting as the aforementioned sounds, I'd like to take this site in a different direction. However, I'm still ironing out the details, so in the meantime, this place-setter will have to suffice. :)
Design Notes
You'll have to forgive the lackluster page appearance, but I've virtually given up trying to make web pages look acceptable in all browsers. It's simply not possible. Besides, these pages are merely place-setters until I can come up with something more permanent.
I have to say, there is nothing more deflating than producing a text-based web page in Safari, only to fire it up in IExplorer on Windows and see its poorly-conceived, text-rendering engine completely trash it.
The bottom line is, you'll never get a standard text-based, web page to look good through Windows IExplorer until they update their text rendering engine - period. I hear they'll be using Direct Write for IE9. About time. I hope it's an improvement.
Anyway, if you're using Windows, this page is best viewed through a Safari Browser with the Quartz Engine running. On a Mac, it shouldn't matter. Under all circumstances, high pixel density (ppi) is preferable. Text-based webpages simply don't look right on any other setup.
This web space has been put together from scatch pretty quickly. Over time, I'll endeavour to improve things.
