Photon Soup Update

The die-hards kept running the program and we simulated 45.3 billion photons. The pictures are here. Thanks to all that helped out. I will be submitting the images to SIGGRAPH 2005 and a paper. (P.S. Never post your email address on slashdot. I got 900 emails! ouch.)"

Never post your email address on slashdot. I got 900 emails!

I remember sending him an email. I also remember mentioning that the methodology (him mailing you the file) as opposed to downloading it or using Java Webstart was not the smarted way to go about doing this.

Finally, I also remember he never sent me an invite even though I asked. Oh well, glad it worked out for him in the long run.
