Screen capture of Electric Sheep, a dynamic visual delight, running under xscreensaver on Slackware 14.2:

Click for the original image.

I took the screenshot by telling Ksnapshot to take a screenshot after [mumble] seconds. Then I put the screensaver into preview mode and Ksnapshot grabbed the capture; I then sent image to the GIMP to crop it, because my monitor is 16:9 and Electric Sheep seems to default to 4:3.

(Note: In the current version of KDE, the Plasma Desktop, Ksnapshot has been renamed “Spectacle” for some fool reason. It seems to work pretty much the same way.)

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
