Electric Sheep is a collaborative abstract artwork founded by Scott Draves. It's run by thousands of people all over the world, and can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac. When these computers "sleep", the Electric Sheep comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep". The result is a collective "android dream", an homage to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

Thinking about starting a webshop so you can sell your lovely pictures or magnifient paintings? I guess we are all in the same boat. My first choice would be Shopify (just look at how many ppl have saved it on del.icio.us!), but for a Trial/Free account, very very sadly, you take up to 5 oders, w/o SSL security or domain name, and that pushes me into looking for a perfect plan B. I found VirtueMart, haven't tried it but it looks very promising. Just look at Demos for some real actions; worried 'bout support already, I'm sure that a bunch of know-it-alls on Fourm would love to give you a hand.

       I'm upgrading my PC (by purchaing a NEW one - ouch!!) and my GIMP as well. The new, stable version for Windows is 2.4.2, with a prettier GUI. If English isn't your mother language and you prefer reading English like me, they have a solution for you on GIMP Talk. Go to C:\\Program Files\\GIMP-2.0\\lib\\locale and remove all the folders that do not start with en_ and then your GIMP will be ready to take off!
