Extending photography

Cardiff Bay Panorama

I have recently spent many hours learning to use Hugin, a photo-stitching application for Linux. It is less automated than some similar apps for Windows, but at least it costs me nothing. Above is one of my most successful efforts, a view of Cardiff Bay taken from the southern end of the barrage.

QuakeLive on Linux

Quake III Arena was, as for many other gamers of my generation, my first First Person Shooter, or FPS. Over the last ten years the FPS market has been dominated by the consoles and the Windows platform. Whilst Linux has played its part as the server operating system of choice for game servers, few games have been ported to Linux. Today, I experienced QuakeLive on Linux for the first time.
