Andres Frederic wrote in to talk about Phasme DBMS, a new DBMS that they are looking for help on. And someone named only "MooMooMoo" wrote in with a link to a website documenting Database Protocols use by some of the big boys. And the page has a rough open source client library that uses it.

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. Finally, Jules wrote in to tell us that the Gnoutes project (we announced it yesterday- it aims to do Lotus Notes like stuff) has been renamed to Yoga.

John Gotts wrote Charles Hines has stepped down as maintainer of fvwm 2.x. His message confirms that the reason is that he just doesn't enough time to dedicate to the project. Thanks to Charles for years of hard work on a code base that has influenced a lot of window managers.
