hi Martin,

well, i was just thinking about a double helix this night, just before closing my eyes!

i'm planning to do a lot of other multidimensional type experiences (text in 3d, text + time...), so it could be one of the next ones (feel free to extend the current helix-text code, if you like).

thanks,

a
