After a visit to Libre Graphics World with a report about the state of GIMP 2.8 and a look into the future. I tackle a question I was asked at the 28c3. Is there a way to draw geometric figures in GIMP? Well, I found three. The selection tools provide a variety of ways to make a geometric selection which later can be stroked or filled with a colour or pattern. The paths tool can be handy too, I didn’t cover it in this show. The Gfig plugin allows the construction and editing of such figures, but there are a lot of drawbacks and some risk of fatal crashes. And finally – is GIMP the right tool? Why not take Inkscape, dabble a bit and export the result to GIMP? Inkscape is easy to use for simple tasks – they have a really good user interface. For more complicated stuff there are the tutorials at screencasters.com. Long time no show there, but perhaps Richard and heathenx can be pestered into making some more. They haven’t given up but gone into hibernation a bit. And if you are in or around Toronto – Steve Czajka is holding an interesting course there.

Marmots are generally large ground squirrels. Those most often referred to as marmots tend to live in mountainous areas, (marmots Himalayana) are spread across rocky barrens of Ladakh, Tibet, Nepal, and even Mongolia. Ladakh is very lyrical .more than the rarified atmosphere ,it is the amazing mountains that take your breath away. But in crevasses of giant rocky outcrops lie the most beautiful surp...rises. The barren mountainsides hold little lives which are known as Marmots. Also known as the Tibetan snow pig, these creatures burrow their way under the rocks and feed mostly on berries and small vegetation. Tso-Moriri, the 15-by-5 mile lake, is a good place to spot marmot. Travelers also tell tales of spotting marmots about 15 miles from Pangong Tso, on the way back to Leh. Locals say this is the spot to catch some friendly marmots in action –only because they know that passing travelers will feed them goodies. Marmots are difficult to spot during winter as they tend to hibernate
