His homepage http://www.fourmilab.ch/ is an eclectic mix of interesting stuff. There is an interesting link of his latest perl project in printing passport photos at a mall on a single sheet, while resizing the image from a digital camera to print out multiple copies of the at the correct size on a single sheet."

    John Walker is growing to be one of my heros and all together favorite nerds. From the "Hacker's Diet" to the one off script, his web site is an ecclectic geek paradise.

    I only hope that someday my website will contain even half as much junk.
