Mathematica apprentice

My gravatar is an eternal golden braid, made with the following Mathematica code:

Graphics3D[{
  GrayLevel[.3], Specularity[White, 15],
  Lighting -> {{"Directional", 
     RGBColor[1, .5, .4], {{5, 5, 10}, {5, 5, 0}}},
    {"Point", Yellow, {12, 3, 15}},  
    {"Point", White, {12, 3, 4}}},
  KnotData[{"TorusKnot", {2, 5}}, "ImageData"]}, 
 ViewVector -> {{0, 0, 5}, {0, 0, 0}}, Boxed -> False, 
 Background -> None, Axes -> False, ImageSize -> 1000]

comment Does it make sense to ask for the color of a Graphics3D “voxel”?
PixelValue and ImageValue already work with voxels, of course, because you can use them with Image3D images. However, there's no easy way to convert a Graphics3D object to an Image3D one, so your question is still valid.

@rojo I'd love that sort of auto-completion - start typing, and Mr Wizard fills the rest in for me...!

comment How to asynchronously download 100000 urls in an efficient way
I don't understand this question - surely the limiting factor on speed is the network (and the nature of the URLs) rather than the code used to initiate the download?

Nice explanation (+1) and you also used :> rather than ->

comment How could I find the correct values for every array that would lead me to unique summation number for every unique chain?
I meant that if you were using Wolfram Mathematica software you would need to use different syntax from what you've shown.

Hi there. Are you using Mathematica for this?

comment Adding custom GridLines to the “automatic” ones
@bernd feel free to edit this answer or the question with this information. Not sure which would be best, but probably better than in a comment...!

comment How can I import images from a Microsoft SQLServer database?
FFD8 is the magic (hex!) number that indicates JPEG files... You'll need to convert the hexadecimal back to binary though?
