Free useful thing for those hosting a tasting

[Julian D. A. Wiseman]

I’ll use the existence of a new decorative feature, Droplets, as an excuse to bump this thread and remind people that this splendid software is still free and open-source.

Droplets flow around the page, attracted by positive charges, repelled by negative charges:

I’ve decided that the code should exist in a proper repository, to allow submission and discussion of issues, to allow others to contribute to the PostScript, and for better death-proofing. Hence ∃ github.com/jdaw1/placemat.

Two issues ask a question of GitHub experts (Software licence; Documentation: HTML or Markdown or other?). If you can answer, please do.

The move to GitHub is complete. If you have published links to this software, please update them to:
• http://github.com/jdaw1/placemat/
• http://github.com/jdaw1/placemat/blob/main/PostScript/placemat.ps
• http://raw.githubusercontent.com/jdaw1/placemat/main/PostScript/placemat.ps
as appropriate.

Everybody loves a pork pie tasting.

These pork-pie placemats were made by an abuse of the parameters, and there is discussion about whether their production should be regularised. Comment welcome, ideally in issue 153.

At a recent tasting the TN sheets looked terrible. Various possibilities need to be tested on multiple printers, as requested in issue 155. If you are willing to use your printer, please read and heed.

I would think printer driver and OS might also be important, in particular if the printer itself doesn't natively support PostScript.

Anyway, I printed one out. I think I might have your postal address, or you can e-mail it to me to make my life easier.

Thank you, received, and results added to issue 157.
