Luis Belloch in Pointer to (void) presents a little example of a NAnt extension that he has written that allows you to save the log of each build, writing the specification in the build file itself..
RFOG in Nación .NET writes a third in his series of articles on his zxFortunes program. The notorious fortune program displays up a humorous saying, a "fortune cookie", every time Linux boots up. (I had to educate myself about fortune-mod and fortune files before I could write this piece and my first clue came from here: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Building-HOWTO-11.html). There are a huge number of fortune files available on the Internet, including some written in Spanish. In this article he describes how he solved the problem in interpreting the character set and the end-of-line in the fortune files that are in UNIX format. He also explains that he created an index file containing the file name and location in the file of each of his fortune cookies so that he could retrieve a random fortune cookie very quickly.

Javier Gutiérrez Chamorro (Guti) in Bitácora de Guti reports that there is a petition in OS/2 World, for IBM to release the source code for OS2. This was IBM's attempt too compete with Microsoft for control of the operating system market and by its technical superiority could have been the successor to Windows 95. However it lost out because it was not compatible with the majority of applications at that time which needed Win32s. It was written in assembler, which made it very fast, but also slowed down the development of new functionality.
