Change the background colour of the pages to a mint green shade.

It is said that green is a calming colour, however, the main reason why I like this, is because I can write for a much longer period of time now, as a white background I used before made my eyes dry and exhausted after just a few hours of working.

It is basically much more soft and careful to the eyes. I can’t precisely explain why that is. I think it’s that by making a pinch softer contrast of the text and the background, your eyes does not get exposed to as much light.

Just make sure to not make the background too dark, or else your eyes will get exhausted do to over-fixating the lack of contrast between text and background.

And maybe you find a nice pastel/light background shade that fits you; give it a try.

Different things work out and fits for different people. And I just felt like sharing this.

Here’s the shade numbers I used to get my preferred colour:

One Man Army/U.S. Bombs bassist Heiko Schrepel died on April 6. Schrepel was 39 and gathering from the sparse information found on comment threads and blog posts, died of major organ failure at Highland Hospital in Oakland, California. One Man Army has been one of my favorite bands since high school, though they were more the type that I kept to myself because so few of my friends listened to them. When I read the post on Punknews.org, I experienced that gut reaction of my heart stopping for a second and said, “Aww, fuck.” I wasn’t destroyed nor was it something that I thought wouldn’t happen because frankly, Heiko dying wasn’t ever anything that I had considered. But like most deaths, it kind of sneaks up on you. Heiko Schrepel wasn’t really a household name which might be a blessing in disguise, because his family and friends can lay him to rest without a media frenzy. He was, however, loved by punks all across the world and me, for the time he spent in One Man Army. They broke up in 2005, reformed in 2011 and released a new EP in 2012, and I missed all of it.
