16 2 1998-12-01 13:40:51 You may have noticed that new additions to the database are now announced with a green-headed news item, and some updates are announced with a yellow-headed news item.<br> I can't decide if I like this or not. It seems a little redundant considering the <b>Recent additions</b> and <b>Recent updates</b> lists are right here on the same page, but I thought I'd give it a try. The update announcements allow you to see what has changed, anyway.<br> If you've got an opinion about this, or anything else, for that matter, <a href="mailto:bobz@mr.net">let me know</a>. Hundreds of you have registered for Game Tome accounts, but only 4 (that's right. Four.) of you have given me any feedback. I can make the Game Tome better if you tell me what you want. Do you like the changes? default

Ok, no naked people, but there are some nice clothed photos of Scott & Sam. Hey Scott, can I have one of those stylin' Loki shirts that you're wearing? Loki in Linux Journal default

Level creation will be an important topic on this meeting, so if you are interested in creating some levels feel very welcome to join. People for creating/polishing the SuperTux webpage are needed as well, so if you are interested please join the IRC meeting.<br> <br> <b>Update:</b> Meeting log is available <a href="http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/tmp/supertux-2004-04-03.txt">here</a>.

Happypenguin.org is now up and running on <a href="http://penguincomputing.com">Penguin Computing</a>'s network. Everybody should go buy a Beowulf cluster to thank them. <p> I'm sure something has been forgotten or broken in the move, so please bear with us as we tie up loose ends. Move complete. default
