• Ever wonder what the Linux Graphics HOWTO looks like? Well, stop wondering and check it out. It deals with tons more than just GIMP stuff...it talks about a ton of image software for Linux.

• Linux, in case you haven't heard of it, is a free 32-bit Unix-style operating system that runs on Intel based PC architectures, among others. It's really awesome, and it's my operating system of choice.

• The standard for windowing systems in Unix is X, developed at MIT. It is also free, and it has been developed for Linux and other x86 operating systems by the XFree86 project.

• I am a big Doom fan. This has nothing to do with anything, really. For a while (but no longer) I maintained the IRC #Doom Yearbook.

• I haven't had the time (or the interest) to play with this extensively, but Quake from id Software is out in testing, and my friend joost schuur runs the premier web 'zine related to Quake, Aftershock.

• I work at a company called The Maine InternetWorks, Inc., and NO, I did not do any official graphics on their pages :).

• I recently ran across an old (1993 or '94) interview with Kai Krause, and he was absolutly raving about LivePicture, talking about how it would completely transform the field of digital image editing. Well, you be the judge...it's very different from anything I had ever heard about before.

• Bruce Ide told me about his home page about a month ago. It's fairly nifty.

• Kristinn Torfason has done some neat stuff with the GIMP on The X-Tra Chronicles home page.
