Laidout
This is a desktop publishing program for Linux I've been very slowly making since about 2005, which I use
to lay out my cartoon books. It can lay out pictures and lines in folded booklets, and even
on top of arbitrary polyhedra (see also my Polyptych component).
It's supposed to be great for zines and books and such. At least that's what I use to make all my books!
Visit Laidout's webpage.

The LaxkitThis is my graphical user interface toolkit that I've been making over the last few years.
I originally had no intention of being so obsessed with it, but I keep thinking it will
be worth it in the end. Most of my other software is built on top of it. Hopefully I will
be able to squeeze a few years of use out of all my computer projects, before global warming and resource scarcity
destroys society. The Laxkit is also another project on sourceforge.net.
