The face is cool, but three.js - the engine behind this - actually has quite a pleasingly orthogonal API as well. Worth taking a look at alongside this. (And where is the save button when I need it ;_;)

Tantalizing. I wonder how well it holds up to adverse conditions - wouldn't mind lashing this to a monitor, opening up a dashboard, and forgetting about it.

It's also leaving La/TeX detritus around, which is pretty annoying. Eqn environments aren't converted properly, diagrams are dropped altogether, some manual linebreaks are left in. Luckily enough sect 1.4 isn't too mangled.

In all seriousness, though, would you recommend anyone else do that after being able to prove you've "done your time" in the system?

I have admit - I have a cousin that's been through Cambridge (went through a nanotechnology track, now taking a doctoral at Max Planck, will always feel inferior to him) and I do agree with you: he's barely poked his head out and reconnecte

"I disagree with this article! Here's a hypothetical that proves it - I know it's true because I disagree with this article." I'm all for nuanced positions, though.

Hmm, got some OpenStep for x86 disks roaming about somewhere. I should give it a try.

Looks interesting - snagged dis.co.vu, now I just need a startup for it or something. Just two minor issues, though: the option to remove a domain seems to be missing, and it's not clear that the free domain limit is 2. But everything else'
