This is just ridiculously cool, snippet from the article:
Warping, or dommain distortion is a very common technique in computer graphics for generating procedural textures and geometry. It's often used to pinch an object, strech it, twist bend it, it, make it thicker or apply any deformation you want. It works as long as your base color pattern or geometry is defined as a function of space.
I fixed the search functionality of the site. The bug was that the search index wasn't updated asynchronously. This is configured as follows
# settings.py
...
SEARCH_BACKEND = 'search.backends.gae_background_tasks'
....
This will add the indexing jobs to a Task Queue and update the index in a short period of time.
Next todo, implement the native full text search of GAE.

Continue readingThe function get_serving_url in Google app engine will now return a small (500px-ish) size image if the size=n parameter is unspecified. The old version would return the image without shrinking it (up to the max size of long_egde=1600px. The solution is simple, just add size=1600 to get a full size image (it will not enlarge a smaller image).
This change is not documented in the API docs :-/

I found a bug in the site search, disabled temporarily (probably related to the fact that I haven't configured asynchronous index update).

The site is not finished and probably never will. PS: I have basicly zero hits and use the site to try out the new and fresh web technologies. I therefore don't worry about archaic browsers.
