Recently I started writing this long story, something a bit more personal than the goofy Apocalipsis. It is shaping up like a longer narrative (dare I call it novel?) and started out as two parallel stories about characters with a few traits in common, alternating between both stories one chapter at a time. […]
In the past decade there has been a scarcity of horror or terror movies. Either you get the pseudo-horror crap that are nothing more than a special effects festival laden with quasi-big name actors, or pretentious thrillers that don’t even bother trying to scare anybody and are content throwing cliche after cliche at the […]
The GIMP, that wonderful open-source freely-available easy-to-use Photoshop clone, has been finally released on version 2.0. New features include a more polished user interface, much improved text tools, handling of EXIF tags, channel mixing and other great features.
And whomever told you that the GIMP was for Linux freaks only, lied like politicians promising not […]
I’ve just upgraded Gallery, the image management software I use on the site. If you notice any weirdness, please let me know.
I’ve also uploaded two older images to the gallery: one from San Francisco taken at a distance in the early morning, and another one a portrait of Horus my siamese cat.
Enjoy.

Photo.net has been undergoing some technical problems, plus, I feel that I should archive my own photographs instead of relying on an outside service to do so. I’ve created a gallery for my images, mostly of recent images, and I’ll add some of the older ones as I go.
Comments on the photos are, as […]
Now that Sinfest has become repetitive, you can take a break and enjoy The Misadventures of Hello Cthulhu. It starts kind of boring, but after the first 10 cartoons or so it really picks up. You can perfectly picture The Colour out of Space hanging out with Div.
I’m slowly returning to my right-brain-oriented pursuits. While Apocalipsis is still in the cooler because of various personal reasons that wrecking-balled me out of the right mood, I’m writing the basis for another story that so far I’m liking (I won’t post anything about it until it’s done, however, to avoid the pleasant sensation of […]
Digital… photography… calling me… Don’t know… if I can resist…
