### this is a 'grid builder' that does the math separates the grid into random integers that add up to fill the entire thing. The variance in randomness can be controlled with the multiplier on the variance variable. we will use two arrays from this function, one to build rows, and the other to build columns. I based it off code found here: http://sunny.today/generate-random-integers-with-fixed-sum/ ###

### Example of using the method in a script for Drawbot

# import the method from hexToRgb.py (have hexToRgb.py in the same folder as your script)
# alternatively, you can also just include the whole method in your code
from hex2rgb import hex2rgb

# have a hex color in mind (works with or without the # sign)
myHex = "#2F3137"

# use an asterisk to feed the tuple (R,G,B) result in place of any usual drawbot color value

Font "package manager"

I've been thinking about creating a font management service similar to traditional software package managers (e.g. Debian Aptitude, NPM, etc.)

The basic idea is this:

1. There's a main repository of fonts that are free (as in free to distribute) that the working group hosts
2. There's a small program that serves as the "manager", to be used or installed on client systems
3. The "manager" can be configured to operate with multiple repositories

Prologue

I wrote this answer on stackexchange, here: https://stackoverflow.com/posts/12597919/

It was wrongly deleted for containing "proprietary information" years later. I think that's bullshit so I am posting it here. Come at me.

The Question

Amazon is a SOA system with 100s of services (or so says Amazon Chief Technology Officer Werner Vogels). How do they handle build and release?
