#Introduction (July 2024 edition) Hi, I’m Kate. I’m a 41-year-old software developer based in the south-west of England. I created my first website in 1998, and I’m best known for my National Grid: Live site at https://grid.iamkate.com. In my day job I’m the Development Director at https://itseeze.com, where in 2007 I created a content management system that’s now used by thousands of sites for organisations across the UK and Ireland. In the same way most of us say “goodbye” without realising it derives from “god be with ye”, maybe one day people will end conversations with “likensubscribe”

 @kate I've read that we can't confirm its "god be with ye." Not that that affects your point!

“Threads works on the viewer with a peculiar power: one finds oneself horrified, fascinated, numbed, provoked, unsettled, made restless” — a review of the BBC’s nuclear winter drama Threads, which was so unrelentingly bleak that after its 1985 broadcast to mark the anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings it wasn’t shown again until 2003 I designed the 12-bit rainbow palette for use on https://grid.iamkate.com. It consists of twelve colours chosen with consideration for how we perceive hue, chroma, and luminance. The palette uses a 12-bit colour depth, so each colour requires only four characters when specified as a hexadecimal colour code in a CSS or SVG file. For more details, see https://iamkate.com/data/12-bit-rainbow/

@kate I love the logic behind this! ...but eyeballing the respective r/g/b columns on the 16 colour triplets, I was confused that the blue values didn't follow a logical progression - the "5" in #a35 drops awkwardly between a 7 and a 6. Digging further, I see you already have it as #a36 in the embedded svg, the "#a35" in only the visible text and css. Is "a36" the intended fix? (though... #a35 seems redder/better to me, but then the third colour would have to become #c65 or even #c64?!) Dear @kate I'd like to adapt your model for my color palette templates in presentations. The Hex value don't work, at least not in LibreOffice where the # character is ignored. Do you have a recommendation? Best wishes, |

Welcome to the toot-i-verse Kate.
Great to meet you.
This is a great place.
It took me a while to find the right server / instance that fits me best. And the level of discourse reminds me of the old internet. (I'm old.)
Looking forward to your toots 😆
(never gets old)
