And just when I gave up on you. Heh.

Glad QBE is back. But only the next issue will be the real sign of return.

See you around. Right?

Congrats on the new issue! I enjoyed it.

HOWEVER, I must express my utter disdain and shock that you included the article of random rants by Z!re.

Vacuous filler like this has no place in your publication. Have you no standards?

Please do not allow further submissions from this individual. He has demonstrated that he has nothing useful to offer. If he must impose his opinions on the world, he can always start a blog.

Yes. But even I have to agree that that article was a little too whack to publish. But hey, free speech is what it's all about, so...if it works for one, it has to work for all, including Z!re and her crazy-ass rants. :)

Did I refer to Z!re as a guy? My bad! :oops:

Anyhoo, free speech entitles Z!re to post blogs with her ideas or post on a forum (within the guidelines). It does not mean Pete is helpless when it comes to enforcing a standard for submissions to his publication. :)

Ach. Line 2 and 3 clearly states that you should stop reading it if you get upset for random crap on the web. Thought, next time I do would like to see something more clearly FB/QB related from Z!re.

Hey!!!

Pete!! Good to have you back in business...

I was really waiting and waiting... I might have some upcoming info on Qbinux, which has been silence for a while. I've upgraded to a new pI-laptop.

More on that later.

QBinux is a Linux distribution with the aim of integrating the work of the vast community of free software developers at Pete's QBASIC Site in order to create a modern, performant, safe and easy to use system for system administrators and desktop users.

Pete has always been against censoring things, especially on the forums. I'm guessing that he would be the same way for QBE.

Did you know your FBTop50 button is defunct? Better check that.

EDIT: since when is the word "b.u.t.t.o.n" banned?

Since it became an official curse word under regulation 0569 by command of the moon court of quadrant 3.

Z!re is a man. He made it a joke that he convinced hundreds of people he is a women. There is a picture of him as "his girlfriend" on the FB Forums. Cha0s's exgirlfriend who lives in Sweden knows him in real life.
