The povray.org website is partially disconnected from the Internet. From their announcement, packets outgoing from them are getting black-holed by Comcast (IIUC). They haven't reported a response from Comcast since March 14.
If you're having trouble getting to #povray, or have an "in" at #Comcast, see details below.

For #ThrowbackThursday, here's an image I rendered in 2002 using POV-Ray. It was when I first got interested in #SizeCoding after seeing what others had been doing, so I tried to make as cool of a scene as I could using the shortest code possible (only 466 characters here). The original render was 1024x768, which was my monitor resolution at the time, and it took quite a while to complete. Now I can render it at 8000x6000 in a minute forty, which would have blown my mind back then.
