• Back from a week of...let's call it "vacation"
• 3d2png support in Thumbor is...I guess you could say progressing?
  • STL files are useless, can't reliably detect them
  • There are issues because we have to test Swift and normal service
  • My Vagrant instance is still dead so I can't test anything anyway
  • At least gilles is back from vacation too, so I can have some support for it now
• Dan emailed me about video uploads from Zero partners...some modifications but he'll post a discussion about it soon.
