There were a couple of interesting articles over the last few days about
the inroads that Linux is making into the special effects industry.  With
the recent release of Maya this will only gather pace.  It will be most
satisfying when i go to see Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings over the
Christmas period, to know that the effects were developed on Linux boxes.
It's a shame our politicians are not so enlightented about the benefits of
free software.

The penguins continue their march onto "world domination" :)
