Monument to the past was destroyed!

2002-10-11 14:15:05 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

Donate a copy of eCS to Mrs. Ballmer! ;)

2002-10-08 03:06:47 -- Oleg N Gololoboff [VOICENWS, Thomas Klein]

Hi folks,

just ROTFL because of what I read today in german newspaper "die zeit" (times) online news: M$'s Steve Ballmer complains about XP being too difficult to use for his wife!! According to the news, he's in search of the "finally right PC" for his spouse...

Well, heck! If Bob St. John could dig out Mrs. Ballmers e-mail adress, I'ld gladly donate my copy of eCS to her so she can check out what *real* operating systems are about. :)=)

Unfortunately I couldn't find an english version of that news, so the URL is only for german readers, I'm afraid. Have fun anyway!

Netlabs.org is alive

2002-10-03 23:27:35 -- Oleg N Gololoboff [VOICENWS, Adrian Gschwend]

Adrian Gschwend (webmaster) is happy to announce opening of refreshed Netlabs.org.

After a way too long time I finaly went to Hamburg for a complete server update! I worked a lot on the backend the past months, we now have a decent content management system (CMS) to keep our projects up to date! Everyone should now be able to support us also with just a minimal HTML knowledge! (you are very welcome to contribute, simply send us an email :-)

Beside the HTML update I completely cleaned up the server, installed loads of new deamons and wrote a bunch of REXX sccripts to clean up logs and so on. Wow it's nice to work on the machine now :-))

Beside this I successfuly finished my exams (yeah!), now I'm writing my diploma work an in January 2003 I'm a free man with plenty of ideas for netlabs.org -> you will get much more in the near future, I promise!

You are welcome to browse the projects, the navigation is somewhat different and the project detail pages look different as well. Odin application database is better integrated in the new design now, but I need some days to finish the wizzard as well to allow uploads. Plenty of other changes are planned (including a rebranding to netlabs.org btw) but I'm still too busy to finish it right now so it will change within the next months, I promise!

Thanks a lot to Arne Blankerts for having a nice time in Hamburg and for sure to n@twork for hosting netlabs.org on a excellent backbone!!
