Captchas
Are they reasonably legible? Anyone here who's colourblind?

Did you mean "colorblind?"

I can read them better than Beth's at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, in all seriousness.
Assuming I'm even capable of being serious for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Thanks David, that's a very useful site. Now that I'm building something that's going to reach a lot of users, colour-blindness is something I need to take into account. (I did know that there are different forms of colour blindness; also that it's statistically pretty certain that someone at munu has some form of it.)
Judging from that site, they should work okay for most colour-blind people.
And Vinnie, I downloaded the software that Beth is using, but it's in PHP and Minx is written in Python, so I can't use it directly. It's pretty good, so I might adapt it at a later date. On the other hand, it takes as much code to generate Beth's captchas as it does for the whole of Minx so far...

I am, at least according to a dot test I took as a kid. Here's what I see (haven't read anyone else's responses, and I'm holding out a small hope that I'm not really color blind.
lettuce
fern
buffalo
kangaroo
mule
petunia
chincilla
anaconda
buffalo
In that order from top to bottom. Pretty easy to make out.
