We're about the same age. I started working as a part-time programmer when I was a freshman in college, March of 1980. My first two years of programming classes all ran on the university's IBM 360 mainframe using input on punched cards and output to a recalcitrant line printer.

I'd say that's a stretch, but in this context that's a terrible choice of words...

australia, titanic: utterly boring useless sh*t from opposite sides of the world.
...change "opposite sides" to "points on largest equilateral triangle" and you can add: brokenback mountain.

I am "working" on an application which is remotely like a vector drawing app.
It has handles on some curve that can be used to manipulate the curve.
I want to hide the handle by default but make them reappear when close enough (opacity animation).
I want to give handles a hovered style (i.e. when mouse down will click it)
I want to give handles a selected style (when you drag a select handle, all the other selected handles move with it)
My handle look like a white circle with a black outline (at the moment).
I have a "selected pen" which as black and white dash moving over time.
Now I am not sure how to do the hover style (and that is my question).
Initially I was planning to have a pulsating and translucent red outline but.. it's no good for color blind people...
What could I use for hover style do you think?
The best answer is UI guideline and idea on how to cope with color blind people.
Plus I heard there are many kind of colorblindness (to make things more interesting hey?)

Pulsating makes me think of the <blink> tag and websites using comic sans.

I'm a "mild deutan", meaning I have some problems with red-tint when it is dark. Doesn't mean that I can't see your pulsating outline, it just won't look like the intended color-scheme. If your outline is a brown background, I will have more trouble, but so would you.
Pulsating red on white is very visible, even to colorblind people. Key there is contrast. Set your windows-settings for the colour scheme used in windows to "high contrast", and you'll see what I mean 
Look for RGBlind (FF extension) to view your page as a specific color-blind person, and it will change the colors for you to similate it. Similar online service here[^].

It's for WPF app!
I just used HTML language (style) as it is easier to understand....
Anyway thanks for the link!
If you can see red on black and white then it should be fine. Good to know!

I would gave the same advice and link for WinForms; you can write a HTML-page and test your color-codes.

It's not invisible, I just get the colors wrong

If it comes to it, just make 'em bold on hover.
It makes the text dance a little, but makes the point.

Simple. Have Clippy pop up saying, "I see that you are hovering your mouse near a curve, would you like to select it?"
