Joel NewKirk Member of the IRTC Mailing List Information below valid at 31 October 2025 Back to Main Page I'm Joel NewKirk, 30, living in NewJersey USA with a wife and son. I am disabled and unemployed, but always looking. My primary projects in life (after my family) are POV-Ray for Amiga, which I am the team coordinator and lead coder for (and is being released Saturday V3.1) and my participation in ICOA, (Industry Council Open Amiga) a professional organization composed of Amiga hardware and software developers, Amiga Inc, and Gateway 2000 representatives. We support each other, and are contributing to the design of the new AmigaOS5.0 and the next generation of Amiga computers. Now that POV-Ray V3.1 is releasing on Amiga 68k, I'm going to spend most of my time divided between ICOA (where I am planning to stand for a Steering Committee seat, and already run two workinggroups), POV-Ray AmigaPPC version (testing now), Cuttelfish (my POV-Ray Materials editor) and an as-yet unnamed project to bring a full-featured POV-Ray modeller to the Amiga. Once work on the next version of POV-Ray gets rolling, I will add that into the picture as well. Aside from my 'serious' computer work, I (obviously :^) enjoy computer graphics work, particularly from the standpoint of a programmer. POV-Ray's scenefile language is a fantastic entity to work with in that regard, and by being on the POV-Team, I am in a position to influence changes sometimes where I see faults or shortcomings. :^) With this full plate (especially several time-consuming factors in the 'Family' category) you can probably see why I don't get any IRTC entries completed... :^) (aside from the fact that I am a hopeless perfectionist, and never think that an image is ready) j UIN: 15787804 Web Page: http://users.snip.net/~newkirk/ POV-Team *AMIGA* http://www.amigaworld.com/support/povamiga NewKirk on IRC channel #POVAmiga Email: newkirk@snip.net Top of Page
