Open Office (20:35 PST)
Much to my dismay, I recently discovered Star Office
(an open source project resembling the Corel and
Micorsoft office products) is no longer available for
free download. Apparently Sun's (yes, the Java guys,)
agreement with 3rd parties was not exactly condusive
to open source development.
But I soon discovered Open Office, a supposedly
seperate project from Sun, which is the open source
version of Star Office. It took me about 5 minutes to
download, and I can tell you righ now it's the very
best office suite I have ever used. Plus it's free
and open source. (I am even runing it on a gates of
hell 95 machine.) Wow!

sf.net Morphs (14:25 PST)
It's true, SourceForge
has changed to look more like a
GameSpy site. They claim to be working on real
improvements, namely: "Freshmeat.net Integration" (so
that your files can go up on Freshmeat automagicly
when you put them up on SourceForge,) "Persistent
Logins" (so that people don't have to login so often,
and so that they can have a more windows like security
level,) and "Spam filtering" (obviously to help you
avoid spam.) Not all of these changes are neccesarily
bad.

D6 RPS (9:20 PST)
You know how I was saying I liked the old Star Wars
system better than the D20 system? Well,
West End Games has released the old Star Wars
system, appropriately calling it the D6 system!
But still, I am glad we have the Hack and Slash
Role-Playing System, for it is A) vastly superior to
anything else I know of for our gaming purposes, this
being no coincidence since we've been working on this
variation non-stop since '97, and B) because ours is
Open Source, and I mean REALLY open source, not just
OGL.

May Review (9:15 PST)
Last month we released v.2002.06.08 of the Hack and
Slash Role-Playing System, (and this version does not
have the OGL option,) the Crystal Space based
PlaneShift MMPORG had their first tech. test released,
Crystal Space got a grant from www.linuxfund.org, and
Crystal Space has since been holding a competitive
codeing contest of sorts. Oh yeah, and our web
service started working on a regular basis again.
