SteelSkin.net – The Ramblings of Chris Nutt

Third in the series of Apophysis wallpapers I rendered up. Unfortunatly this wasn't smooth enough at 1600x1200, so I've just attached 1680x1050 and 1280x1024 versions.

I have some hi-res fractals at home waiting to be processed up and a few more to render. The best will make it here, sorry for the dry spell. Also my current home desktop isn't work safe so no posting on here.

I grew up with my Amiga and I still have fond memories. I always loved watching Demos, not game demos, but Demo Scene demos. Classics like State of the Art by Spaceballs and 242 by Fairlight gave me insight into computer art. They used to a way of seeing cutting edge realtime effects, in all reality that is no longer the case and in a way I like that even more. The concept is now king. I really like Conspiracy‘s work. Here is a classic 64kb demo by them(I’d recommend running the real thing):

I use Opera I have done for some time, I just like the have it your way interface. It does crash now and then, but mostly due to the Netscape plugin interface (meh). I tried Firefox when it was Firebird and Pheonix, but the whole thing felt clunky and like a big botch together. I’m not saying don’t try it, but there are alternatives.

Opera my browser of choice is great and used on many strange and wonderful devices such as the Wii. However if you install IE7 and then install Maxthon 2.0 Beta you may be highly impressed like I was how snappy and modern it all feels. If I couldn’t use Opera or I must use an IE I use Maxthon 2.
