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.

Quake III Arena was, as for many other gamers of my generation, my first First Person Shooter, or FPS.
