Now it can be revealed! --

Lots of new stuff going on at gopher.floodgap.com.

Veronica-2: - Internal changes to V-2 allowing smarter back-end caching. - Host purge.

NEW -- Flood Feeds, a newsfeeds interface for Gopher. Right now it's populated with headline news from Voice of America, but other feeds could be adapted. There is also about 9 months worth of back news for browsing also (yes, it's been acquiring continuously for some time), and it will be searchable in Veronica-2. Ironically, today's news seems to be missing, but I think that's because my mail host has been acting up (was up until 3am trying to repair it last night).

Fun and games, including such time wasters as: - Figlet gateway (lots of fonts) - Phases of the moon - Gateway to /usr/games/fortune - ASCII art coming soon - Humour database?

Updated new sites list.

Bucktooth 0.1-pr6: - Not much different, just some custodial updates to the bundle. The actual code is minimally changed.

Have fun!
