Sadly, yes:

Every absurdity has a champion who will defend it.

The server is now back online after giving me slight trouble on Friday night. I want to apologize for the server-downtime and for any inconvenience it may have caused, but it should be fixed now.

I used the downtime to perform some overdue updates on several packages and the operating system itself.

Everything is back to normal operations now.

Not a quote, but something we all have to learn sooner or later:

Problems don't disappear by ignorance. They tactically withdraw, regroup and return with multiple strength.

As can be obviously seen, I have changed the design/theme of this website.

After a couple of years with that red-on-black design, I thought it was about time for a change. This design has a lighter feel than the old black-backgrounded one, but is still dark enough that I can look at it myself without getting my eyes burned out. (Which is usually the case with websites that have a white or similarly light background-color).

I hope you like it :)

Yes, I noticed that a long time ago...

I have uploaded a new image into the Galleries: Background Images / 1024x600:

 D20 Blue/Gold 1024x600

I have just finished another POV-Ray Include: Polyhedra.

For all those of you, who wondered how I did those images with the D20, in there is the answer. :)

And here is another D20-image:

I have just published a new include-file for POV-Ray, "Polygons", which deals about creating polygonal objects and stuff.

Along with it, I took the liberty of updating the bundle-file, too, as a number of other include-files have received improvements, too. Even some new files have been added which aren't listed nor documented at all. For those files, I cannot provide much help until they have a page of their own published, sorry.
