Decided to try applying a colour palette from lospec.com to improve the appearance of the card table.

I think it looks better, but happy to be corrected by someone who actually knows something about design/colour theory...

1st progress screenshot for my web based card game 'Sticks'

This was more work than it looks 😂

Actually, a lot of the complicated game logic is done, I want to see it working now.

Really enjoyed reading this collection of essays by George Orwell. Even after 80 years his tips on writing and the warnings about how we are influenced by media is still relevant. He's also prophetic when he warns about the automation of creativity being the tool of totalitarianism.

A friend of mine wrote a book and annoyingly it's very good.

It's also on sale so if you like YA fantasy stories give it a go.

Apologies to the person that asked me this question. I Googled the difference between flirting and being nice, turns out they were right and I was wrong and I have indeed been flirting with EVERYONE my entire adult life.

Not the effect I've been going for as a married, straight man. 🤦
