Hello,    I added a new chapter titled: Inside the Punk Art Machinery - How To Generate 10 000 Punks (and Punkettes), Algorithmically - Paint by Numbers [1]    It reads:     Let's code the artist known as generate\_punk - a method that returns a (ready-to-save) punk image from the attribute parts coded as numbers starting at 1. If the code is 0 then the (optional) part gets skipped:     codes = [2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 0, 10, 1]     punk = generate\_punk( codes )    punk.save( './punk-0000.png' )   And here's the magic paint by number art machinery...    Cheers. Prost.

Hello, > it seems that an extra '%5B1b' was appended on the url?    Thanks for the errata. Sorry - I mostly use an online email program (and the no text formatting is always checked) but somehow some links still get messed up - not sure what I can do. Cheers.
