Well, it's time to clear out the submissions box, so buckle down and get ready: Pilchie writes "I was watching Jeopordy tonight here in Toronto, on CFTO (BBS Network) and they have a little blurb everyday on upcoming technologies called Tomorrow Today. It said that Linux probably accounts for half of Web-servers, mentioned Linux's role in Titanic, and show a clip with someone named Crawford from Corel talking about the port of their products to Linux. All in all, very good press."
Matthias Granberry sent us a link talking about Markus Gietzen's port of GemEm to Linux using SDL.
Lastly, InThane writes "Hey, some guy's working on a free(!) Partition Manager program, and it looks like it's got source code with it as well. It's released as freeware, so someone might want to talk about having him GPL it instead; otherwise some code might end up in the next version of Partition Magic. Look here for more info."

Finally, a few minutes to clear out the submissions box. First up Dave Whitinger wrote in to tell us that Three Point's news has expanded in 3 lists (Press, Security and Software News). Han-Wen Nienhuys sent us a link to a project he has been working on called LilyPond. It is a sheet music layout program ala TeX. Looks pretty excellent (if you're into that sorta thing :) Bill Lynch wrote in to warn us that Dave "Zoid" Kirsch (Linux Quake Port Guy) would like some comments on support of linux libraries. Stomped has a link to Dave's .plan file. Albert Strasheim wrote in to plug a Linux t-shirt design contest. Winners get Amazon credit and free shirts, so you designers out there may want to hop over (wonder if I should submit DFTP:) Finally, Brian Vincent sent us a link to something from Graphon called GO-Global that accelerates X apps 300-1000%. AIX and Solaris already use it, but now there's a linux port.

Alan Bailward sent us a link to a funny User Friendly. And Joe wrote in to tell us that FoxTrot is doing a series where Jason writes an OS over here. daschel wrote in to send us a link to a site about Bubble Wrap. What a strange world. Angus Davis wrote in to warn us that they've posted lots of interested stuff for mozilla hackers. This includes some docs on the new layout engine and porting instructions. They also need help porting the new engine if anyone is interested. And lastly, just wanted to mention that Everything has swollen to 6600 nodes in around 48 hours. There's some cool stuff in there to read now, and the server is holding up pretty well under somewhat less intensive usage than Wed.

Looks like it's time to clear out the quickies again! First, Erv Walter sent us a note about S.u.S.E releasing more X servers. Hmm. S.u.S.E...aren't they those guys who've been hitting us about 13,000 times/day recently? I wonder what kinda soa they drink over there...Next off, David Kindred wrote in to tell us ISE is releasing the source code to Eiffel under an open source license! Maybe I'll have to take a look at that language again. Finally, Promethus sent us a link to a Bill Joy interview. Bill is one legendary man - one of the cofounders of Sun, I believe. A very interesting interview.

Ok, we've got a buncha quickies all queued up, so here's my attempt at bringing that number down. First off, Dawn Endico wrote in to tell us that the last batch of the Mozilla Mail & News client has made it into the CVS repository. Next, Bill Rugolsky wrote in to let us know that SENSES and Mitsubishi have released the source code to Indy3D, their OpenGL benchmark test. Send them feedback, guys! Next, for the funny link of the day, Garrett Rooney sent us a link to this story about Steve Jobs meeting an over-eager security guard at MacWorld. Definitley funny =) Finally, on a related note, unity wrote in to tell us that Apple made a profit of US$101 million dollars this quarter ($.65/dilitued share). Wow, things are looking up for Apple!

Well folks, its friday, and I'm ready for the weekend. And I'm gonna celebrate by cleaning out the submissions box. What follows is a fairly sizable list of quickies that have been built up over the last week or so. First off, Felix Finch sent us a link to IllusionWorks.com. It is exactly what you would expect. Kinda cool. Frank Berger sent us a link to a Chicken Conversion for Quake II. What a strange world we live. Oliver Fischer, the guy who was working on those Linux Keyboard Keys has updated his page with more information for anyone interested. Mike Roessing wrote a sort of zd parody.

I've got a ton of these things building up, so here we go: Daniel Gould wrote in to tell us that Toshiba will be bundling Solaris with PCs. G. sent us a link to a salon article about trendy technology. A leather mouse? Yowsers. Don Rude wrote in to tell us about a Quake 2 Southpark Total Conversion. Kick ass. Many folks wrote in to tell us that Debian.org has recieved an excellent face lift to corrospond with the Debian 2.0 Beta Release. Lastly, Chris Frost wrote in to tell us that this weeks themes.org victim is tigert (possibly the most talented gimper out there).

Leif Hardison wrote in to say that hardware.doa.org is is sponsoring a contest for the most inovative case designs. Peter Renshaw wrote in to tell us about the ICQ GNU Project which aims (surprise!) to produce an open source ICQ proggie. Mike Rust wrote in to tell us that SNES9x 1.0 for DOS been released. It supports transparency and SuperFX emulation and all kinds of neat stuff. Linux Port should be Coming. Joshua Fouts wrote in to plug The Online Journal is following the proceedings involving Kevin Mitnick's trial in detail. They also have an article about Chris Lamprecht. Both are pretty interesting. Lastly Michael Dillon sent us a link to an interesting article on 4 phases of Linux acceptance.

Jouni K Seppänen wrote in to tell everyone that Lars Wirzenius typed in his speech from LinuxExpo. It was pretty cool and I'm sure many of you will enjoy it. Mircea Ciocan wrote in to tell us that the indestructable distribution has risen from ages of silence. We now have Slackware 3.5b2 online for those daring slackers willing to join in. I started with Slackware years ago, and Dave still prefers it. And I know he and the other diehards will be happy that it's still alive. Finally, for a laugh, ewjc wrote in to give us a link to This Wired Article about a nudist who allows access to her site for anyone, unless you have Microsoft affiliations. On one hand, It's a blatant PR stunt designed to cash in on the current tidal wave of anti MS feelings, on the other hand, it's free nudity! (Laugh! I'm kidding! Sheesh. I better go back to the homework before I try to be funny again *grin*.

Taking a break from the 20 page paper of doom (draft IX, due friday) to post a handful of things worth noting. Vincent Janelle is trying to round up a group of people to unofficially redesign linux.org. Direct questions to him if you're interested. Weez asked me to call out for applicants for a few server openings on SlashNET. Contact him for details. Pez sent us A story about Quantum Modems. It's worth a read for anyone seeking a laugh (and if you, like me are writing a paper, you may need one) Finally Mike Molloy wrote in to give us a link to The Acronym Database which tracks 53,000 acronyms. Guess I should go see if I can't submit TMS and TCWWW^TM quick a minute *grin*.

Brian Moore wrote in to send us a link to a story about Communicator 5.0 And finally, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote in to announce that the PHP3 has hit the wire. For those in the dark, PHP is another excellent web page scripting language.

Ok, I've been working like a madman to get caught up, and I have several things worth mentioning, but don't want to post so many articles. Normally I don't do quickies mid day, but if I don't, I'll never catch up *grin*. First Jan Csernoch wrote in to tell us about his c64 site which contains tons of stuff about the classic machine that I'm sure alot of you folks logged some serious time with. Chris sent us a link to Mr. Bunny's Guide to ActiveX. Kurt (another one of my roomies) bought this book. It is great fun, especially if you've ever had to code ActiveX, but even if you haven't, you'll enjoy it. John Gotts posted a page of Pictures from LinuxExpo for those who might be interested. Roddy Richards wrote in to tell us that they have released the source (GNU GPL) to NetStat, they're network monitoring stuff. He warns that some IPs may not be resolving properly right now though.

Anand wrote in to tell us that "Tim Johnson has created an alternate, and possibly easier to navigate, interface to the Linux HOWTOs.." DX sent us a link to a Wired column on what it means to be a geek. Is wired the right place for this sort of forum? I suspect reading a weeks worth of comments here will answer questions better than a years worth there *smile* Lastly Jeff Davis wrote in to send us a link to The Gartner Group on Open Source. It's actually not a bad summary, but I question some of those probabilities.

Matthew Tebbens wrote in to tell us that he's revamped LinuxApps.com. Pretty cool. Ben Hutchings wrote in to say that supposedly RH5 has been ported unofficially to the Amiga? Any word on this? Dave Whitinger (of Threepoint fame) wrote in to warn us about his Low Bandwidth News List. 1 message/day like 0xdeadbeef. Christopher Gutteridge sent us the nuttiest thing I've seen in some time: The Visible Mars Bar Project is one of the coolest pages I've seen in awhile. Nate and I were gonna do a Bananna awhile back, but just never got around to it. Definately worth a gander if you're familiar with the visible human project. Seth Vidal wrote in to tell us about netwinder.org, Corel's new site dedicated to Corel's Uber Geeky Linux NC.

Chris de la Rosa sent us this link to one of the web site scrambler thingees- this one does Redneck, Jive and Elmer Fudd. I enjoyed the Vally Girl converter, the page reverser, and several other variations on this theme so I figured I share these with ya. Jello sent us a link to the fastest Web Server ever. Nasa has a web server in the shuttle, and at 5 miles per second, it certainly is the fastest web server Dan Upper wrote in with EyeControl.com. They are developing devices to use your eyeball to control your mouse. Currently overpriced and targetted at the handicapped. Mass production hopefully will bring them to the masses in the not so distant future. ever. Despite ISDNish bandwidth *grin*.

Allright we've got a new mysql running. Hopefully things will be stable. Ooo, and older articles will be 'archived' soon (comments remaining intact). It's the last major code change before the Test Site. OK first off steven sent us a link to a Fortune 500 open source stuff Dr.Claw wrote in to tell us that Debian has gone into deep freeze on 2.0. Oh, and we were mentioned in wired yesterday as part of the whole J*va invaders thing. I didn't intend to make a big deal about it, I just wanted to tell everyone why they can't play Invaders anymore, but 2 hours after I post it I've got a phone call from 'em. Oh well.

Allright, Gonna go See Terry Gilliam's new movie (Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas). I love TG- Brazil, 12 Monkees, Time Bandits, Python, uber cool. So anyway, before I go, I wanna quick post a bunch of stuff. First, Jauder Ho his looking for help to write a new DNS Management Tool. Edward Carter is looking for help creating a GL/GTK modeller. Next we have some fun stuff (and after the day I've had, I need some fun!). Check out what Ben Lewis sent: Live Deformed Frog Cam! That's so cool! And finally, Juhapekka Tolvanen sent us a link to Cool Linux Penguin Stickers. Proudly adhese to a flat clean surface!

Next, Matthew Kirkwood sent us a link to link to another linux support site. Third, Jesse Off sent us a link to another one of those silly You know you're a nerd when. Mostly Unix jokes. Pretty good. Next, Jason Poll sent us a link to a collection of online books, the site includes programming and Linux books apparently. Continuing along, David Sinck sent us a link to one of those James Bond super cars with fancy video doo dads. This one has instructions to build your own if you have tons of cash to drop on all sorts of strange hardware. It's really pretty cool. Lastly, Harry McKee sent us a link to an article about a Telepathic Clapper. Hopefully they can come up with an ad campaign less obnoxious than 'Clap On/Clap Off'
