And now in 2015.


When I first started this blog, it was 2006, a time when posting anything interesting online was fun and colourful. And as far as I remember, there weren't any bookmarking-and-sharing sites then, like magnolia. Should check if that is still around. Oh, nope, they had a meltdown. http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2009/02/19/magnolia-data-is-gone-for-good/ Anyway, just stumbling across this old bookmarking site of mine was exciting, and I thought I'd revive it - just for old times sake. And still post up sites I find quite lovely. For starters, the last site I was on and spent time on was Alok Nanda's - http://aloknanda.com/

upload and image. and get the colour pallete. in seperate neat boxes with the code right next to it. so that ends another chapter where an art guy turns to the writer and goes, "so which colour, huh?"
