Happy Holidays!
Well I have been very busy but managed to get a few things done here as well.
Rhett "jonzy" Jones returned my call with an email and I was delighted to get
his advice and insight. Some things I had expected were confirmed and what
I thought might or might not work were also confirmed or corrected. It was
a real pleasure emailing with him, he truely wrote Jughead in a way that is
easy to follow, which is a huge plus for me. As a result my Jughead Muti Site
search is running faster and more lean with plenty of room to spare with the 
limited hardware on that box. I have only one problem right now and that's over
at SDF, I have sent them an email to help me better understand the file 
structure that is giving me problems. I hope they have time to help me with
_my_ problem, I hate having them only partially retrieved in the data harvest.
After the 1st of the year I will start in earnest working on that problem again.
Also I am looking at making Jughead a FreeBSD port (Thanks jonzy!).
I heard from beaker at Simple Minds! He will have his server back up soon, I
am looking forward to his site being back up :)
Under /Links/Telnet I have added:
The ascii version of the movie Starwars from towel.blinkenlights.com
A link to the Hal3000 Talker.
A link to the Hal3000 MUD Black Knights Trilogy.
And soon I will add a menu'ed shell which will begin with just lynx, ping,
the talker and MUD.
I am considering having it user/pass'ed something like guest guest and have been
testing it but may have found a problem where ctrl + z dropped back to prompt.
My thoughts behind it were that if a user was say in a place where using a 
browser was monitored, often telnet is not :) Also it would give people who
have not used a text browser a place to see it. Further on slow connections
lynx is a very nice browser to use. Ping and or traceroute is great to be able
to use from a box not along the same route as you are, I use freeshell once
in a while for just that. I just would like to be using my resources for
something useful, either fun or constructive or valuable in some way.

Well, hope everyone has a very happy holiday season!
