Colour

You may have been shocked to see that I had blended the browns of the last colour scheme so poorly that there was a ruddy great line across the middle of the first post. I can only claim ignorance.

It turns out that Apple's Safari web browser has a far higher colour pick up than either Firefox or Internet Explorer (at least the versions I have installed on my PowerBook). So what looked perfectly peachy on my screen would have looked perfectly beastly on yours. It is rather like colour-blindness for machines. I apologise for that design slip. Thanks to Adobe and Wikipedia I think I have remedied the problem.

I have also added a pic of Paul Newman as Brick down on the sidebar because I couldn't let that profile slip into the achive of this page.

Please let me know if any other design faux-pas have slipped though.

(Thanks to visibone for the pic above!)

UPDATE: Thanks Neil for the pretty picture of how unpretty the new look looked in Firefox for the sight-impaired. All fixed now?
