More BBSes are connecting to the net. Fewer get closed... perhaps this is
a good sign. Also i noticed that one particular BBS got a co-sysop, which
for these days, its strange :) More collaborations like this should be
done and users/sysop get together and form groups, like the old times.


::s o f t w a r e::
Check Iniquity BBS, written in Ruby, from Phenom group. Its in early stage,
but a demo is available. 
                    http://www.iniquitybbs.org/index
Also a new version of the old program Telegard is in progress. It will be 
open source and written in JRuby.

Enigma 1/2 got updated also. Here is a link to the demo video:

::g r o u p s::
Phenom got a major update in their site at:
                http://www.phenomprod.com/index.html
Lots of new stuff announced there. Take a look.


::w w w::
16colors site got a major update. go at http://16colo.rs/ and get a 
strong dose of ansi art in all of its glory, with a good search engine. 
unfortunately from what it seems the http://pc.textmod.es/ stopped 
getting updated with new packs and it seems abandoned. hope it will get 
back on the track soon.
