Beholder projects invariably benefit from the help and involvement of
some friends and experts, including:
-
René Carbonell
-
On DeviantArt: HoundedByGremlins
Cartoonist extraordinaire: René is my brother-in-pens and if we
had done even a fraction of the projects we’ve talked about over
the years then how much more amazing the world would be! Oh well.
However, René did all the illustrations for La
Séptima Bala, the animations for Fudebakudo (and some
illustrations in the book), as well as providing one of the pivotal
designs for The Knot-Shop Man.

Mark Stitson

CompSci PhD, sysadmin and excellent cook: Mark has been keeping the
hamster wheels spinning on the Beholder server for longer than I can
remember.

Pete Hoare
-
Another CompSci PhD, all-round clever chap and nice guy: Pete was the
prime mover for getting Beholder online in the early days.
Beholder on the Web
Although beholder.co.uk launched in 1995, “Beholder” probably
first appeared on the internet in 1985, because that was my process name on
the VAXen, way back when Pete and I were, er, exploring JANet. In those days you have
no idea how exciting it was to see somebody else's typing coming up on your
screen from exotic places as far away as, say, Lancaster. Oh, and CERN of
course... but I expect they’ve tightened up their passwords since then.
The main Beholder site (this one) is built on Foundation.
