He also had a very interesting blog about his life as night time taxi
driver in New York. Little literary gems imho.

Original bing.com, image search, yes. It gives me German language.

Using the Tor browser (https://tor.eff.org/) works to get around the

Jim Charter is a traditional-media artist who participated in the
POV-Ray group for several years. Jim was never a tweaker like most
POVers; that is, he didn't use POV-Ray as a settings editor / scene
arranger for simple or borrowed models. Process is as important as
product to Jim, and his POV scenes were always constructed faithfully.
And he's a compelling writer. Jim Charter is the ONE person I asked to
pre-read short story I wrote two years ago.
and ...
Jim modeled a Corinthian column capital to which you, clipka, replied,
"OMGWTFYouMustHaveWayTooMuchTime...".
Ring any bells?

Shame, looks like it won't work for anyone else. When /I/ do a Bing
image search for
neolamprologus hard water
I get ... neolamprologus
When /I/ do a Bing image search for
neolamprologus hard water SIZE
I get ... shoes. No neolamprologus at all.
All four words are required, and I've tried a few substitutions without
duplicating the result. I think it's interesting, but I guess it's
something I can't share online.

I do remember that quite well - wonder what he's up to these days?

Yeah, I guess I'd have found that a bit weird, too :-)
