For the record the entire contents of the server was just restored within
the last hour. How long this will last I do not know yet but we must assume
for the time being that the clock is still ticking.........

(The only groups affected by this are the binaries groups. The text groups
 were never set to expire. To retrieve older messages in the binaries groups
 you may have to reset the groups in your news reading program.)

As soon as I find out more Chris, Alan, or I will let everyone know the
details.

True, but some questions are inherently somewhat time-limited, such as MegaPOV 
bug reports.

These are my opinions.  I do NOT speak for the POV-Team.

True, but these types of messages comprise much less than 1% of the total
message contents for that group and the impact of removing them would
hardly be noticed.

Mmm, this gives me an idea, maybe usefull maybe not.
How about a temporary newsgoup for bugreports during the beta period of 
3.5?

Hello!

In my search for info about Bezier curves, patches  and splines
I stumbled over the web-pages starting at this address:

http://graphics.cs.ucdavis.edu/GraphicsNotes/Graphics-Notes.html

I found them very informative and thought that maybe some of you
might be interested.

I also hereby take the opportunity to announce my POV-Ray gallery at the
address at the bottom of this post. I'm open for critique, so please comment.

Best regards

Tor Olav Kristensen

I added a bookmark to that page a few weeks ago because I too found
it a valuable resource.

As the Linkmaster for the POV-Team I find objects like what you present on
your page a valuable learning tool for other POV-Ray users. I would like
to suggest that you place the source for some of your objects on your
web page. If you do I will link to your site from povray.org which will
increase traffic to your web page and at the same time you will be helping
out other POV-Ray users.

  If you do add the object source to your page send me an e-mail and I will
be glad to add your site to the links pages at povray.org. I am not accepting
sites that are just image galleries at this time.
