So Deviantart has upgraded to "v6".  It now runs even slower than before.  I see no new benefits/features.  My deviantart page informs me that I have three messages but, thanks to v6, I can't seem to find them to read them! Dear DeviantArt: you suck.  For "v6," a vote of No Confidence. p.s.  I am looking for a site with a varied repositary of pictures.  Something to replace deviantart, but without the suck.  Please leave a comment here if you can recommend one.  Thanks.

Seems to me that deviantart's server is a sinclair x81 running on a single dialup connection.  Sooooo slow. Right: go back to whatever you were doing. :D

So I've been using POV-Ray for my 3d for some time.  I like the command line and I like the fact that it is free.  However, I do like to try new things from time to time and I dislike the fact that the they have gone to a GPL v2 license or (even better) to full Public Domain. That in mind, I decided to try yafray.  This is another command line rendering program and it is actually GPL V2.  SO far, so good. After downloading the source I read through the README (or was it the INSTALL?) file.  I was dismayed to see that some clueless indivicual in teh yfray team deicded that they were not going to use make. Let's see, GNU make is used by 100%
