    Hey! I was once accused of over enthusiasm for this! (Sorry Steve... ;)

    Erm... if I remember correctly, somewhere in the Midlands was mentioned.

     Hope that might be ok ish.....?

Right. Hopefully that'll coincide with some holiday at Uni so I can get
over. Also hopefully, I will have the money to afford the trip from here
to there!

BTW: I've written myself a short scene file for my signature, but it's
still too long. Can anyone give me tips on how to compress it?

sig_file{
    /*=-The Grey Knight-=*/camera{orthographic location
-3*z}light_source{-3*z rgb 1}#declare sn = 333;#declare sr =
1/3;#declare ir = 4;#declare rs = seed(777);union{#declare p =

The original being 830 characters (not counting the sig_file{}, but counting
everything inside it), here's one that's 563 characters:

camera{orthographic location -3*z}light_source{-3*z rgb 1}#local D =
seed(0);union{#local p =0;#while(p<=8*pi)#local F = pow(sin(p),4/2);#if
(p<pi)#local G = -F;#else#if (p<3*pi)#local G = -4*cos(p/2);#else#if
(p<5*pi)#local G=F;#else#if (p<7*pi)#local G=4*cos(p/2);#else#local G
= -F;#end#end#end#end sphere{<4*sin(p/2),G,4*abs(1-p/(4*pi))>, 1/3#if
(rand(D)<.5)pigment{rgb z}#else pigment{rgb .5}#end}#local p =
p+(8*pi/333);#end scale 1/((4+1/3)*2)no_shadow}plane{-z,-2 pigment{average
pigment_map{[1 bumps turbulence 0.65 ][1/16 rgb 1+z*3]}scale <5, 2, 5>/20}}

Thanks, that's got it down a bit. Now if I could just do Fourier
analysis on that piecewise curve for the ypos variable, I could break it
down into a set of simple waves (probably faster)

Warp! We need your help!

I can get an easyjet flight if I can scrape together the money; could
anyone provide me with a place to stay while I'm over? (Assuming it's
overnight that is)
Is there anything we should bring? I might do an image on the theme
"Reunion" or somesuch for the occasion; and of course I'll bring along

Oh yeah; and I can only get flights to Liverpool and London, so if
anyone is passing and wants to give me a lift down...
