Spicy swatches posted 15th October 2002

My brother, a graphic designer, decided that the colours I use on Cuzza.com needed to be a bit more curry-ey. So he kindly came up with some hot & spicy swatches based upon curry products, Indian cookery books and colour theory books. And made this a super page to display them on. Thanks Les – one day I’ll get around to redesigning the site & implementing them!

Curry in a hurry: I’ve just added a new recipe to cuzza.com: Quick Curry Sauce. It’s a delicious curry sauce for when you have run out of brown stuff and don’t have time to make a fresh batch.
Wevver bruvver: Site improvements: nice new weather icons, improved search ranking and a decent 404 page.
Anyone for a Ruby?: You can now add your own curry restaurant reviews at cuzza.com. So if you’ve had a steaming vindaloo or a dodgy biryani recently you now know where to tell the world about it. As a reward you’ll get a reciprocal link, which can only be good.
Colour tools: There are a number of really handy online colour tools coming to my notice. They all help the untrained or unreliable eye to come up with colour schemes and palettes based on complimentary and harmonious colours. I list five of them.
Google Print and Google Suggest: There’s a couple of new (to me) features on Google that I wasn’t aware of.
