which way does your glitch face on the home page?

I just noticed that my glitch faces to the right when i log in on my android tablet, but then he faces to the left when i logged in on a friends laptop the other day. Is it just me?

  • This is because (and I'm sorry if this is a little too technical) the homepage uses CSS3 transformation to flips the avatar image, which originally faces the left such that it faces the right now, which looks slightly better. It's likely that this is done on the client side instead of server side to save the space (and/or processing power) needed to store a second, right facing version of your avatar. Looking at the browser compatibility matrix I guess you were using IE on your friend's laptop?
