One of the annoying things about this stuff is that if you stop paying 
attention for a while, it becomes nearly impossible to easily get back 
up to speed. Plenty of places will tell you about the latest and 
greatest up-to-the-minute developments, but if you haven't been 
following recently, you won't have the context to know WTF they're 
talking about. Nothing seems to provide that context. Nothing that I've 
discovered, anyway.

I do quite a bit of rendering, and I *have* been doing it recently. ;-) 
Also, my current PC seems to be slowly dying. (!) My sister got me a 
shiny new CPU for Christmas, I already have the motherboard, so now I 
just need to buy an OS...

Eh, I don't know. I was just being playful really. It's a random link to 
a paper about randomness. It amused me.

But yeah, sure. For most of the things I post, the description could be 
absolutely anything and nobody would be interested. I guess I'm just a 
really boring person...
