I think I'll go with "public domain" considering it is something that could easily be generated by someone else from reading the spec.

Actually, I was using it for creating single-sign-on cookies between two websites.

This is just begging to use Lua's coroutines! It would integrate well with the existing model, too. Instead of a callback, you could just say "file.read()" or whatever, and the read function would do a non-blocking read, yield, and when the read was done, the coro could be resumed from the mainloop, the same way a callback would be called.

Also, I may have to have a go at integrating Calabash (https://github.com/pib/cala... ) into this.

It looks quite promising.

Oh, actually, GIMP can only open it when it has a newline at the end of the file. If it remove the newline, it won't open it. Strange.

Wow, GIMP threw up a ton of errors on that image, but Chrome "displayed" it ok, and GIMP did eventually open it. OS X's Preview sure didn't like it, though.

I like that it's all printable characters so you can just put it in a string directly in code, byte-for-byte. I think changing the size bytes to non-printable characters would still be worth it, though :P

I don't know if I'd say it's "incorrect" to emit the full document. In the document here it gives a situation where you'd want to emit full docs: http://wiki.apache.org/couc...

"Note: include_docs will cause a single document lookup per returned view result row. This adds significant strain on the storage system if you are under high load or return a lot of rows per request. If you are concerned about this, you can emit the full doc in each row; this will increase view index time and space requirements, but will make view reads optimally fast."

It all depends on what you're optimizing for.

Wait, is it Creative Commons or GPL? GPL doesn't really work for a 3D model since it's not really source code...

I wrote some software that takes an STL file and slices it into layers, then I cut those layers on a laser cutter.

I cut some out of textured acrylic intended for use over fluorescent lights. The solid ones are impossible to see anything through, but the slotted ones work pretty well :P

I cut one out of coroplast, which works nicely except for the trigger and sprocket, so I cut those out of a slightly thinner acrylic.

As an added bonus, I didn't need any washers and the motion of the sprocket is enough to kick the trigger back in place, so I didn't need the trigger-return rubber band either (which is good because the little hook on the trigger snapped off!)

The rubber-bands I have are a little too short so I c
an get about 5 on before they start snapping from being stretched too far. :-D

That sounds perfectly fine to me. Go right ahead. You could post a link to it here as well, if you'd like.

I should have mentioned that I did see it, and it was just funny.

Sorry about that, I recently moved the site to a new server and didn't set git again.

I've put the project up on github: https://github.com/pib/papaya

A word of warning: I haven't touched this code in quite a while, so no guarantees on how well it will work.
