----------------------------------------------------------- Pete's QBASIC Site's Tenth Email Message - December 2, 1999 ----------------------------------------------------------- Pete's QBASIC Site-----http://petesqbsite.hypermart.net Contents -------- 1.0 Opening Message 2.0 Past Updates (Since Last Mailing) 3.0 Future Updates 4.0 Other Stuff 5.0 Final Message ----------------------------------------------------------- 1.0 - Opening Message ----------------------------------------------------------- I'm going to make this mailing list quick because nothing much has happened over the last month... ----------------------------------------------------------- 2.0 - Past Updates (Since October 1st) ----------------------------------------------------------- ***Now this is in Chronological order, and is basically a summary of the main news events in the last month*** ---------------------- Email/ICQ List Script ---------------------- I mentioned this in the last mailing. It's been added. Written by Breeze, very cool. Sign up now! ---------------------- QComics!! ---------------------- The new QComics section, formerly on Josh Reagans site has moved to Pete's QBASIC Site! Currently, 30 funny QB-related comics are on display in this new section. Check it out! It's awesome! ---------------------- Pete's QBASIC Site down for three weeks ---------------------- One day towards the end of October, my site was reported for offering illegal versions of Quickbasic for download in the compilers section. Hypermart disabled my account for about three weeks, while I continually asked them to reinstate it. During that time, the Qboard was used as a way for people to talk about my site and the only remains of the site that were left (besides the guestbook). One mailing was sent when the site was down. There's not much that I can say about this other than it's great to be back and all of your questions will be answered by looking at old Qboard articles. ---------------------- Pete's QBASIC Site is moving ---------------------- For almost a week, I've been preparing my site (and revamping it) for a move to a new server that will be ad-free and not be under the control of any free web service. Please be patient. Regardless of whether I have it done or not, it will be moved on Sunday of this week. ----------------------------------------------------------- 3.0 - Future Updates ----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- The move ---------------------- The move will be taking place soon (as described above.) Take a look at the site's news for details. ---------------------- Tutorial #5 ---------------------- Many people have asked me to continue my tutorials, and I finally will be after my site moves. As soon as it moves, I will write tutorial #5. People ask me for it at least once a week, and it's finally coming! ---------------------- Links Revamp ---------------------- A links update is really needed. There are more than 300 QB links, and each of the sites is constantly changing. Some have disappeared. Some have moved. Some have drastically changed since I first reviewed them. I've decided to update the links section A LOT. I will review the links, tell about the projects/company/site on the other end, weed out all of the ones that don't work any more, etc. Expect to see this before November. ----------------------------------------------------------- 4.0 - Other Stuff ----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- Special Thanks ---------------------- These people get special thanks for contributing to my site above and beyond what normal people do. I wholeheartedly thank you for what youdid. *James Robert Osborne (WisdomDude) -- Submitted half a dozen file reviews, and also posts on my Qboard frequently. *Retna -- Submitted a file review, and is a frequent Qboard poster. *BattleCraft99 -- Submitted file reviews and a bunch of files. Also posts on the Qboard a lot. *Indigo Fox -- Wrote the Files 2 CGI Script and Email/ICQ Script, and is an all-around cool guy. :) *Josh Reagan -- Gave me the QB Comics section from his former site. This kid is supreme. Thanks a lot!! ---------------------- Files #2 ---------------------- If you have your files uploaded, please add them to Files #2. You will get morepeople to download your files, and it can't hurt you if you do it. If you wantto submit a file for review, be aware that it might take a few days to completeit, because of the huge ammount of files that are on the 'waiting list' before yours. ---------------------- Headlines ---------------------- There has been a lack in interest in the headlines feature of this site ever since it began. If you have info about your projects, want to advertise for your site, want to rant or rave about the QB community, or have some othernewsy-type thing put up on the main page for people to view, just send it in! This is free, and is good publicity for you. ----------------------------------------------------------- 5.0 - Final Message ----------------------------------------------------------- This news letter was kind of rushed because I'm tired. I have a deadline to make, though, and sleep can wait .. kinda .. Submit stuff, and remember -- when my site moves you can surf it ad-free and since you don't have to wait for ads to pop up, you can take the time that you saved to submit stuff. (Okay, kind of a stretch, but it might work.) Seeya soon. :) Until next time, Pete petesqbsite@hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------- Pete's QBASIC Site-------http://petesqbsite.hypermart.net
