Ok, I've long since replaced the code that made it ugly, but this is the
result of changing it again...

#version unofficial MegaPov 0.6;
camera {location z*100 up y*3 right x*4 look_at 0}
$seed1=seed(1305987);
$A=0;
#while (A < 60)
  $A=A+1;
  light_source {
    <rand(seed1)-.5,rand(seed1)-.5,rand(seed1)-.5>*100,
    <rand(seed1)-.5,rand(seed1)-.5,rand(seed1)-.5>*3

  }
  cylinder {
    $pos1=<rand(seed1)-.5,.3*rand(seed1),rand(seed1)-.5>*100;

  Thanks for the scene code, Ben. I rendered it at a higher resolution
and changed the desktop wallpaper for the first time in almost a year
