Try downloading the tar/gz I have just created for you on my website

Your assistance is certainly generous and well-intentioned, but I think it would be best if we didn't encourage posting links to scripts on our personal sites. It would have been better to simply include the source of your script, all 184 lines of it, between a couple readmore tags.

The simplest view is that, when avoidable, it is best not to make a node dependent on an external site for completeness. There are, however, far more compelling (security) reasons. Unfortunately, they are quite subtle and easily overlooked.

It is very important that the code provided in our answers be readily available for peer review. You might say that it was; anyone could download the code and look at it. That's not necessarily true. You can't tell who might be checking up on the site from an internet cafe, mall kiosk, or school library. Some may even decline to download the package simply because they don't want to reveal their IP to you (which might expose their place of employment, for instance.)

It is also important that, when we do review code, we can all be sure we are talking about the same thing. A link on an external site may easily be made to look like one thing to one person and another to someone else. Hence, in this case, all I can say is that the code that I downloaded from your site looked clean after a quick inspection. I have no idea about anything that anyone else downloaded.
