Pretty Pictures

I still can't say much about the place where I work, but I can share a pretty picture with you. This is the output of a stress/performance test that I wrote a couple weeks ago. It takes a little over a minute to generate a 700x700 pixel version of picture below. I find this amusing, because the software is not really designed to do this kind of thing -- it's meant to be more of a database than a computation engine. The conversion into GIF format was done by postprocessing the output with ppmtogif. Click on the picture to see the 700x700 version.
