It's hard to believe. It seems to go on for months without a full-version, then two great games right on top of each other. After we took on Descent: Freespace we are now testing "the Feeble Files." Click on the title link for details.

C64 as WWW server
Is there anybody who did not formerly have a C64 as a computer and does not remember with some melancholy the time where you knew the meaning of each bit and byte and could create wonderful things with some magic 20 or 30 written basic lines?
Actually the C64 is past because it is much too small and too weak for the high demands of the Internet-epoch. Nevertheless some C64 still run on Internet.
Here is the address of a WWW-server (title link) which works with a C64. The only extension being added is an interface card with unbelievelable 38400 bps data transfer rate.
The source code is free available and it is a good inspiration for anybody who has to implement an IP-stack on a 8- oder 16 bit computer.

Search engine: Google violation of security
When Google started to indicate documents like PDF, RTF or Word-files and made them visible at google.com, many webmasters had to think about the fact that they probably did not configure there servers the right way. But now there are some hints that, at least in some cases, this was maybe wrong.
The company Klaus Schallhorn Omnisearch proved that Google indicates so-called secure servers (ssl), too. Although they say that they do not. Meanwhile there are more then 3.8 million secure sites indicated by Google.
Even worse: Google announced that they are fully compliant to the robots.txt-standard but they definitly do not when indicating secure servers. The Google-spiders have already executed over 161,000 cgi-programs one or more times.
If you check the search results of corresponding requests you can find servers that forbid via the robots.txt access to the cgi-bin directory even under the top 10 results.
Webmaster have to take new measures to protect their sites from being indicated by spiders.
Further information is available at the title link (German).

On the homepage of StrICQ the third beta version of the ICQ client V2 is
released.
Download: STRICQv2.lha
Please read the important installation hints.
Changes since last release:
- Fixed a major error that involved a race condition in the IPC. A receiving task could actually check for data on the message port before that data actually arrived. The IPC now blocks until the message does arrive.
- Fixed an error in that some messages would actually not be NULL terminated.
- Now requests offline messages. If there are any, they won't be displayed! Hehehe...
- I still need enforcer/cyberguard hits!!
