You’ve probably already seen this review via the mention on slashdot but I couldn’t let it go by without commenting on it. In the usual Slashdot manner I haven’t read the article yet so I’m not going to defend the Mac version of the GIMP. All I’ll say is that every photo I publish here [...]
Ah, here’s an interesting interview (22MB .mov) between Governer Bush and President Bush. My, how he changed his opinions!

Myself and John spent the last 2 days working on GoldMine trying to get it to import users (easy), setup extra fields (bit harder) and automatically importing them into a new track (not done yet). Documentation is terrible, help files are a small help, the program is unwieldy. We visited their website to be confronted [...]
