The diaries of Queen Victoria, totaling 47,000 pages and running from the age of 13 until her death, have been digitized. The site will be free to UK users, but open access for the rest of the world only runs through the end of June.

The old telegraph system used to be called the "internet" as well, so I've heard.

Victoria is known, well after the fact, to have enthusiastically enjoyed her married life, and made sure she got more than her full share of "exercise"

hex numbers, it might be just easier to remake from scratch

LookmomImarocker · 2012-05-25T06:09:28.636601+00:00

Used the hue BFE8F9

BFE8F9a is 7 letters, and hex specs are 6

Results sort of depend on where the gradient starts and stops

BTW your blue color samples to e4eef0 in your gif, which is very different

since this "original" is obviously a water color, this permits me to use certain filters to get rid of noise that normally would not work.

so now we get this.

It's not at all perfect, but it is not terrible either

Here is a very very very rough draft of a clean up. A lot of very small details need to cleaned up to make it look right.

But it is a start, and maybe somebody else can finish it up if I do not get back to it.

You realise that you can do a google image search, and maybe find the original?

and maybe even the original site?

Of course it would be easy enough to grab one of these and take credit for it ...

Here's a quick stab at it

It will probably look better as a smaller snapshot, or from across the room.

red with black letters is especially terrifying. or black with red letters. it's a tossup.

:)

or course, for geeks, you put in dark brown and orange yellow, the old hercules monchrome monitor scheme,

for your amusement

I am first reminded of words like

spoiler and spoiler

maybe and an spoiler so you get spoiler wait that doesn't work

but there are plenty of words out there, and likely plenty of sentences.

good to have a convenient list to counter the argument of "do nothing", etc.
