Have no fear, for I am still working quietly in the background, adding files to the downloads section, building public relations bridges, and driving yet more traffic to this growing website. Many bugs have been fixed in the last few weeks, so if you were having difficulty downloading files, try them again. Beyond that i'd suggest downloading a decent browser or whapping your network admin for having an aggressively-caching proxy. More goodies are to follow soon, but first I must attend to some real-life issues... like that coursework deadline looming on the two-week horizon. Eeeek!
In other news, Mary Dixon, the very talented artist who has contributed so many of her resources towards our downloads section, has put the finishing touches to her
CD of Japanese brushes. The work she has put into this production is absolutely staggering, and the cd-rom boasts over 200 brushes and rubber stamps, as well as sample files and tutorials. Of course, this collection is a little too large to download, but she is selling the CD for a mere $22.99 (which includes shipping and handling). Sounds like a bargain to me - go and check it out (even if just to snag the free sample set on offer!).
Oh, before I go, I better mention that I now use
SpamArrest to filter all my e-mail. Unlike traditional solutions, this is a challenge-response system, so don't be surprised if you get an automatic response back asking you to verify your human status before your message is delivered. You'll only have to do this once anyway. Sorry that this is necessary, but the 200-spams a day (even WITH 2 filtering applications) was seriously getting me down, and this solution is very effective (i've not had a single spam in the last 72hrs!). The small inconvenience is well worth the healing effect on my sanity... ;-)

Looks like all is going well for BioRUST and m0g. The downloads section is becoming pretty large. I've downloaded a few things myself (now that I have cable modem
). Yes m0g, I'm no longer redirected to the Home page.
Well, that's it for now. Keep checking the Announcements.
