Meaning that many a friend that should have been there, wasn&#8217;t. Turns out the algorithm to do all that mosaic computation was a tiny bit more complicated than I originally thought. Which is great, since it&#8217;s always fun solving these problems, but also fell on a rather bad timing, since you are usually not expected to spend your days in front of a computer between Christmas and New Year&#8230;  I will probably write a separate post full of geekerish about the solution, later on.<\/p>\n<p>But nonetheless, we made it: it&#8217;s 5:30pm here, still 6 hours to go with this year, and I am proud to introduce the newer, better, bug-free version of my New Year&#8217;s Card&#8230;
