Those are trimmings - I did ∗not∗ sand those! When I use a sanding
block to smooth the edges, it's nearly indistinguishable from a
fab-milled edge.

There's a generic "missing file" handler that generates the ∗.html files
from ∗.jpg files, inserts the thumbnails, etc. Lets me post ∗.html but
still let the server stop people from linking directly to my images from
their web pages. Since it doesn't know the nature of the image, it just
prints the standard copyright on it.
