V Planet Building Links Page
After much consideration from both site visitors and QQN, V Planet will be adding a "QB Links" section on its next update. At launch, the new Links section will feature at least 100+ QB Links.

If you want to submit your QB site to be added to the list of QB links, you can e-mail your URL to V Planet by clicking here.

Lutasarts Update
Lutasarts has updated their site saying that they are going to start working on PebbleDash for DOS again. I think they stopped working on it and now its getting a little more popular and more people are wanting to get the full version which is expected to include over 50 levels from what Lutasarts says.

Wildcards Column Delayed
I received a message from wildcard on why his QQN column was delayed and we did not get an article for last week. He said he has been really busy but will finish two by today or tommarow. Ones on composing music for games and the other is on making 3D objects.

QQN and Qlympics 2001!
For all you remember Qlympics 99 by Sonicblue Productions, QQN is thinking about starting one very soon for the 2000-2001 period. I will let you guys know about the progress. If this works out submissions will start in a few weeks then voting will start in 2001. This hopefully will be a very big event. Please post in the forum your thoughts about this.

Site Downtime
The current ISP isn't too fast, and I just heard that the servers are moved in a month or so, so that problem should be fixed soon!
This problem occurs to the Programming Oasis, any of Future Software's sites, and of course, QbasicNews =)
