Golf, anyone?

After investing considerable effort getting two boxes up and running with kanotix linux, I'm finally ready to start tinkering with povray again.

bash: iwcongif: command not found
root@0[knoppix]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

Using the camera_view pigment in Megapov, I've got it set up so that I no longer have to manipulate and resize images in order to compose a "comic" format. I even used superellipsoids to give it a TV set look.

The flickr.com member hurleygurley took this beautiful photo. Flickr allows one to "blog" photos. Just thought I'd try it because I hadn't posted my own material in a while. Apologies to hg if this feature of flickr violates your wishes for use of this image!
