Pete's QBASIC Site

By the way, I'm keeping the title of my site the same for the same reason I decided to keep "QB Express." Maybe sometime in the coming months I'll reconsider, but for now, I don't see any reason to change. Also over the coming months, I hope to fix up some of the issues with the site, like...

<p><strong>Freebasic Forum Opens</strong> -- Posted by <a href="mailto:pberg1@ithaca.edu">Pete</a> on December 28, 2007<br> The last few months, there has been a <a href="http://www.petesqbsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2479">lot of debate</a> over whether this site is a dedicate...

Yeah, Coranto still works... I just disabled Guest posting, so unregistered users can't submit content. And the only way to be registered is for me to set you up with an account manually. I really need to figure out a spam solution for this site, since user submissions have been disabled since 2005 ...

Yeeps, sorry #26 hasn't been released!

I got hired to work on this reality tv show pilot and I've been doing ridiculous shifts the last few days...9AM to as late as 2AM the next morning.

The issue will be out as soon as I get a day free.

PS: I would like to run a QB Express coding competiton every month, but the reason I don't have enough time to come up with the idea, and then collect / rate each entry and write up the results. If somebody else would like to organize the competition and write up the articles, I'd be glad to let you...

how about making a specific output requirement in the shortest amount of code? A required output is given and participants must figure out the quickest way to achieve that output using the least amount of code. Size matters. That's a very cool idea. Any ideas on what the "output" could be...

Apologies the new issue isn't out yet... I unexpectedly got another job, and have been working 12 hour days lately... It will be out ASAP!

PS: Submissions are still being accepted!

I just stopped posting there because those guys never have contributed anything to the magazine. (Aside from that whack job mennonite.)

Okay, so the deadline has come and past, and we've received about FIVE submissions. (In a normal issue, we receive 25 - 30 or more items.) There will be a new issue by the end of the week, but it will be pathetically small. If you have ANYTHING you can submit, please send it in! qbexpress@gmail.com

FIVE DAYS LEFT.

The deadline is this Saturday, November 24th!

Send your article in to: qbexpress@gmail.com

(Seriously...we still have only two submissions so far...)

Awesome, Xerol! I'll definitely put in a mention about your game in the next issue.

The original deadline for QB Express #26 was November 15th, but seeing as we've received NO SUBMISSIONS WHATSOEVER , I've decided to extend it to November 24th. Yeah, we've got nothing . This is bad. We've never been in a worse situation for an issue yet....we haven't even received a measly letter t...

I would like to get the next issue out by the end of November if possible, just to keep it as close to the monthly release schedule as possible.

I originally said Nov. 15th, but I think a week later (Nov. 22nd) is more reasonable.

This whole "segregation of languages" thing is so stupid to me...especially between different dialects of BASIC that are 90% compatible with each other. Mentat's right. Lighten up, guys. It is like I go to a auto-parts store and find that most of the products for sale are sailboat-parts. I...

This site has been called "Pete's QBasic Site" since it launched in 1998. Freebasic didn't even exist until 2004, at which point, I started including Freebasic content on this site. I see no reason to change the long-standing name of this site that everyone has grown used to over the past ...

Mac, unlike on your forum, people ask questions for both QB and FB here, and they do it without fear of being ostracized for either compiler. Precisely. You can ask questions about, or discuss ANY programming language here -- QBasic, FreeBasic, FORTRAN or LOLcode. Any and all are welcome. I would a...

Real life.

We haven't received nearly as many submissions as we were hoping for, so the deadline has been extended a few days! You can now submit articles for QB Express #25 up until Sunday, October 7th . What kinds of stuff do we really need, you ask? Well, as always, newsbriefs . We also don't have any game ...

Heheh, exactly right. I've never once turned down an article.
