ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE

Given time, any digital storage medium loses its data. Corruption sets in as
bit-rot spreads. The image on the left is the original, the image on the right
slowly turns to dust.

The decay is triggered by viewing the image. The more people that view the
image, the more prevalent its decay.


ABOUT THIS VERSION

This is the second version of dust from ordure.org. Since the first version
used an obsolete version of GD.pm, which relied on an ancient libgd with gif
support, it makes sense to move to this latest version. This implementation
uses Imager, a module from CPAN which uses libpng amongst others. Imager is
far superior to GD.pm.

The original dust was started in August 2000. dust-2000.png shows the original
image. dust-2004.png shows the file as of February 2004.
