I think that the 'mst' isn't the problem. It's the 'a'...

Really? I mean Rudy is simple enough, but here in Germany most people have
big problems understanding my last name at the telephone (to them it sounds
like Welltush) and even more to pronounce my name when they read it. So "De
Ruiter" could be more of a problem than Sietse. Only French speaking persons
would propably pronounce it well.

Forget it. The French can't pronounce even one syllable of my name
As for "De Ruiter"... Well, it's the 'ui' thing again, eh?

sPatch? Real POV snobs model their bicubics by hand!
My upcoming IRTC entry has two objects made of bicubics, one with
176 patches and one with 200 patches, and an object made from a
lathe. I didn't even use graph paper, let alone a modeler. And
I had to bang rocks together to get the 1s and 0s, uphill both
ways in blinding snow... whoops, sorry, that'd be the geriatric
raytracing thread at the end of the hall. I'll get my coat.

I'm Roland Mas. I'm from the Southern part of France, although I
currently am in school in Paris.
I have used POV-Ray since it was called DKB-Trace 2.12, from the
very 1.0 on my Atari ST to the very 3.0 on the
eight-Alpha-600-MHz-4-Go-RAM I had (well, I had access to it) during
my internship. (Still waiting for the 3.1, by the way.)
I do not use any modeller. My brain is my favourite modeller. I do
not indent my code, either. Emacs does it for me. Sometimes even
bash or Perl do it for me, but I do not see it because it is piped
directly to POV-Ray.
Have fun...
Roland.

I'm in Durbanville, South Africa (look somewhere on the south western
part of a map of SA and you may be lucky and find it ;-p ).
I've been lurking here for quite some time, make the odd post now and
then. I fiddle around with POV when I get some time (which is not often,
unfortunately)

This one's from Melbourne Australia,
A bit chilly to be running around in a T-shirt? try here, over the last two weeks we
have
had days in the mid to high 30's (celcius), and nights in the high 20's.

I'm not entirely sure how you'd pronounce ram-ss-t...
Anyway, English speakers mainly have trouble with the "ram", since it's
pronounced quite differently in Estonian. As far as I know, only Germans get
it almost right.
Many Estonians have trouble spelling it right, too: it's not your typical
Estonian name. I believe it's of Livonian origin - although I doubt that
means anything to you :)
Ahh, enough off-topic rambling for one day.
