DL, could you define artist for me? To the best of my knowledge, one can be an artist in many different ways. Around here several people (not Jim himself TTBOMK) wields that "Artist" expression around as an explanation to a lot of things. What does it take to call oneself an artist – some sort of exam?

A lot of this sounds like the newspapers shouting out that "Scientists" have discovered that this-and-that is dangerous (or isn't) and instantly people believes it because "scientists" know everything.

Sorry if this comes out a bit harsh, but as long as Jim comes up with good explanations himself (like in this thread for instance) there's IMO no need to follow it up with that "he's an artist – not an programmer" expression.

Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
