- Me!
-
- Hi there, I hope to get all the members of WOA roped into doing this
- part of the mag, explaining what interesting things they've been up
- to in the two months between WOA issues. Now it is exactly 8 weeks
- between WOA since rather than been released on the 14th of every
- other month (which sometimes gives us more time, and sometimes less
- time between each issue), you now get WOA every 2nd Saturday of
- every other month.
-
- So, what have I been doing this issue? Amongst other things, I
- finally got connected to LocalTel. That's one of only a select few
- phone companies in the UK to provide free calls to their own ISP.
- That means that if you send me an email between 6PM and Midnight
- british time, you're guaranteed a reply the the same day, if not
- instantly (depending on whether I'm out of the house or not).
-
- But it also means that you have more of an opportunity to chat to
- me. Tell me what you want for the mag, tell me what you think,
- just come for a general chat! Whatever. I can be found on #amirc
- on Dalnet under the handle Troggy, and on irc.esper.net on the
- channel #trogsoft under the same handle. I'm there practically
- every night any time after 6PM british time. Please come and tell
- me what you think of the mag.
-
- I've also been on holiday for a week during the making of this
- issue. Possibly the worst time to go away too. It was the week of
- the World Of Amiga show, and I missed all the announcements made
- at the show and I'm still trying to catch up with it all as this
- is being written (August 7th).
-
- And that's another thing, due to me going away, things got into a
- bit of a mess, even in the more than capable hands of Joe Solinsky
- who was in charge on my week away. The main reason for things not
- going smoothly was me not giving anyone the job of writing latest
- news stories. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control,
- and beyond Joe's control too, many people missed the deadline for
- articles.
-
- That is why we are working up to the release date. I'm about to send
- out the issue to Phil (the Production Editor) to get it converted
- to HTML tomorrow, and no doubt, I'll be dumping more articles on
- him over the week, and I have no doubt that what you're reading is
- of the usual high quality (that is, if you're reading it on the
- web :)
-
- When I got back, I found that Joe has been talking to Phil about a
- new design for the WOA Online issues, although I'm not sure if
- they take effect this issue, or next. Either way, I suspect you're
- in for a treat.
-
- Also, this issue, I've been watching a lot of TV. And it would seem
- that I infact watch more of the British Channel 4 (www.channel4.com)
- than I do of the supposedly more popular BBC (www.bbc.co.uk) and
- ITV (www.itv.co.uk). And one thing I discovered while watching the
- popular American teen drama Dawsons Creek on Channel 4, is that
- Katie Holmes (one of the actresses in the program) is possibly the
- finest teenage actrees ever, anywhere!
-
- Anyway, until next issue...
