So, now we have about 3300 new faces from about 1600 sites.
I'm not sure this is a good thing.
I haven't tried to use this database with faces in the regular way yet,
but I bet it'll show us how slow faces can really be. This will
probably be a good thing for a face server daemon to access when
necessary, if such a critter ever comes to exist.
Anyway, I extended the Showall script from my bitmaps collection into a
"facesall" program that can show arbitrarily large databases using
multiple windows if necessary. I used this to see all the faces in the
FaceSaver collection. It'll replace the Showall script and can be
retrieved from iuvax:pub/faces/facesall. The FaceSaver database will
soon be in iuvax:pub/faces/facesaver.tar.Z -- all 8 megs of it (I'd
estimate, 14 megs uncompressed -- it's not done compressing yet). The
fs2xbm script is in iuvax:pub/faces/filters.tar.Z.

I recently found out that there's a fair chance I'll have the
opportunity to visit your fair country this winter ... er ... summer
... er ... December! Perth, to be specific.
