With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

I'm still waiting to come across an image editor for Linux with the simplicity and features of IrfanView without the extra tools in the GIMP that I don't need. Maybe the GIMP's UI overhaul will create a friendlier experience. I've run IrfanView in Wine, but it wasn't what I wanted.
Any (GNOME) suggestions?

I'm actually in the same boat. I've been dabbling with Linux for years, but am just now starting to use it more consistently. One of the first things I wanted to install was a good program for viewing, resizing, cropping, and making simple program edits. While Ubuntu/Kubuntu both come with some basic image viewers, none are as powerful as Irfanview. And GIMP seemed to be a bit too complex for my needs.
I struggled to get Irfanview running with WINE and had all sorts of problems. Eventually I discovered that Irfanview 3.97 seemed to work better than newer versions, but by that time I'd kind of gotten used to GIMP. It really doesn't take up THAT much space, and while it takes a few seconds longer to load than Irfanview, the truth is there's nothing you can do with Irfanview that you can't also do with GIMP. And there's a whole lot more.
That said, if anyone knows of a good Irfanview clone for Linux/Ubuntu/Debian, please let us know.

About time, I say!
I became a picasaweb user because I liked it better than flickr for sharing family photos, but that was back when I was a 100% windows user (ages ago!). Once I became 40% linux (WXP@work, xubuntu@home), I was pretty annoyed that picasa for linux didn't have the picasaweb integration.
So, all I'm saying is, nice update!

I don't know Irfanview, but RawTherapee (http://www.rawtherapee.com) is a nice app for Windows and Linux that is like a lite-weight version of Lightroom.
