I originally just wanted to post my findings on implementing an HTTP client to serve as an example to others learning Eiffel, but I realized that the importance of the following example would be lost on many people without a little background on the subject and felt like an explanation in the form of a rant should also be included. Therefore, if you’re just looking for the example, scroll down to the later sections and take a look. Otherwise, keep reading.

You may have heard of graceful degradation- this website degrades quite differently.
I always forget about this site and then remember some time later. I figured I’d set it down in stone somewhere, and maybe share it with others who haven’t found a useful tool like this yet.
Adobe Labs released a great colour scheme tool a while back called Kuler that allows you to create great looking colour schemes really quick.
Colour scheme tools like this usually cost $30+, but this one is free, comes with pretty much all of the functionality you could possibly need, and supports up to 5 colours (you probably don’t need more). You can even publish, share and rate schemes from other users. Did I mention it’s free?
Adobe has their problems (and inherited some too, cough, Flash), but it’s safe to say they’re an authority in the world of 2D graphics tools and this site definitely lives up to the name.
