Indeed we are here once again, late as usual too..
Not a huge amount to say at the moment, as I've expended myself all over
the main texts, and scrolltexts and hidden article question quest for the
Falcon version of Maggie.. Consequently I'm as creatively dry as a
watermelon that has spent six years in the desert having its life force
sucked out of it.. (Eh!)
(Maggie editor in LSD outrage! - Home Secretary presses for very heavy
slap on wrist!)
At this time (Sunday evening), I'm very nearly finished on the ST
version, and just awaiting the hidden article from Kev 'Taffy' Davies to
make its way through the vagaries of the E-Mail system.. Great stuff,
this new technology, a mailing to us that fails to un-encode properly, a
message travels back to Kev at approaching the speed of light, then sits
around for three days, waiting to be answered.. Then the new mailing does
not work either, so another E-Mail goes back to Kev to say "Sorry mate,
it's padded envelope time!" - Postman Pat smiles knowingly in a smug, 'I
told you so' sort of way as he eventually delivers the vital package in
vans and on feet and things to my door??
(Whither the Internet, is it all bollocks or what!?!)
Postscript to that:- Sorry Kev and Mike, but your articles just did not
make it in time for this issue, look forward to putting them in issue
twenty though!
Issue 19, so long in the making, the human race re-evolved into something
else whilst they were waiting, something with the attractiveness and
mobility of a table lamp.. (Maggie Editor in more LSD outrage, will the
youth of today never learn!)
Specific Foul-Ups that plagued the making of this issue..
1. Waiting for articles in the post..
2. Waiting for articles on E-Mail..
3. Getting corrupted files, where articles once roamed, from the E-Mail
instead..
4. Having to improvise emergency main menu pictures for both shells as
Kev, the normal graphics guy was unable to come up with the goods due to
a severe dose of overwork..
5. Maggie editor, confronted with the task ahead, mentally puts on his
suntan lotion, lies back and does nothing instead.. (Ah, didn't want that
one to go in..)
Check out the cool articles on disk, quite a lot of them too, on the
'something for everyone' principle, unless that 'someone' is very boring
with no sense of humour to speak of.. Also several nice pictures,
following on in the groundbreaking achievements of issue 18.. The music
is one of those 9-channel things made on the PC originally..
(Cool News! - Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley own up to marriage
failure.. It was all a meaningless empty charade, but Michael gets
custody of the children.. Then put into custody shortly afterwards! But
who are we to speculate, eh!) (What, me dislike Michael Jackson?)
Check out the Goodies folder, and the oh-so-helpful textfile that tells
you what is in there..
A last minute apology, this issue does not quit out cleanly, not at least
on TOS 4.01.. Leon is working on a newer version of the Falcon shell, but
this is not ready yet.. It is a last minute apology, because that is when
we found out about this problem (at the last minute..)
I'm really out of things to say now, so let's wrap up and get this issue
kicked out into the big bad world!!
See you all next time..
CiH, finally, Feb 8th 1996..
