Fixed.

I am modifying mpiPovRAY for research. I had a segmentation fault that took me 3+ hours to figure out what the hell was going on, but it was the easiet error once I noticed what was going on. Don't you hate those? 😛

OpenOffice.org is always in need of developers. I want to help out, but I need more experience programming. I'm still in my infant stage.

Raytracing is an embarrassingly parallel problem. It'd be more interesting to parallelize something else. I did one for a class and made it threaded (on bot Linux and Windows).

Take a look at sourceforge.net for ongoing projects

What class? Undergrad or Graduate?

I'm currently reading through Realistic Ray Tracing by Shirley and Morley

Undergrad. I forget what the textbook was since I didn't really use it, but I think it had a picture of a tiger on the cover.
