The script for this week’s comic came from a book of verses I found underneath a bough.
This week’s comic rises to new heights.
This week’s new comic isn’t really getting the big picture.
This week’s new comic feels a little bit drafty.
Ok, so there’s a bit of geekery below the cut for those of you who like looking through shell script source code. All others should move on…
Still there? Ok, you have been warned.
Here’s the background: during the summer, my new job tends to have a few slack periods when people aren’t bringing in new work. Rather than sit around twiddling our thumbs, we go back through our old work and see what needs improvement. There’s a rather large database of images which includes a “quality control” feedback form. Images that score low on quality get flagged for review and repair.
The trouble is, we’ve got literally tens of thousands of images in hundreds of directories. Gathering up the bad ones takes hours. So I wrote a script to do that for us. It was able to go through about 10,000 images and find 120 or so of the ones that we needed in about seven minutes.
Code is below the break…

This week’s new comic has a safety message just before the ending credits.
So there’s this company – Evisol – that’s taken one of my favorite sports car designs and made an electric version. The Thorr is a Lotus Super 7 concept chassis with a high-performance electric drivetrain. It’ll do 0-60 in around 3 seconds and has a range of around 90 miles at highway speeds or 150 miles in-city before it needs a recharge.
And the name sounds like an angry Viking.
