ANOTHER YEAR GONE BY
BY CHRIS SHARP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, another year has almost finished. In fact, it is eleven twelfths
finished. This year seems to have gone very quickly to me, but that was
probably because I have been so busy.
College work was a bit of a bummer. Especially since my college bag was
nicked with 6 months work in it, half way through the course, so I had to do
a hell of a lot to catch up.
I released my first licenceware product, which was Freaked Out 2. After a
lot of hassle with Dan Walton, the head, I got paid, and then Powerfist
Licenceware collapsed. Pity really, it had a lot going for it. (I would
just like to point out that contrary to popular belief, POWER has\had
nothing to do with POWERFIST apart from the fact that a few issues of POWER
were temporarily released through them).
Budgie U.K. also seems to have died. Maybe I'm wrong, but two years ago,
Budgie was all the rage, but now, there's virtually nothing coming out of
the Budgie studio. Oh well.
An ST magazine (ST User I think) has bitten the dust. It doesn't really
worry me to be honest because I never buy them anyway.

Next thing I knew, I fell ill, and now it has taken me 2 months to complete
this article!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
O.K., now I am almost back to full health, I will try to complete this
article.
Here we go -:
In June I met Melissa Hart, but everyone knows about that already so I won't
ponder on this point.
I started my BTEC national diploma year two course in September. It's going
O.K. so far, although one of my lecturers is going to take a look at my
program tomorrow. His name is Mr. Konkol. Yes, odd I know. He raves on
about how fantastic the Cobol programming language is. Sometimes I think he
tried to change his name to Mr. Cobol, but the deed poll people said someone
had already done that, and so he couldn't. He probably decided that Konkol
was near enough to Cobol anyway.
And now, it is nearing December 1st, my birthday. Hope issue 23 is good, and
that it is dedicated to me (again!). Have a very Merry Christmas, and
a great new year.
P.S., If your driving, don't drink. And if your drinking, don't drive.
Have a great time!
POWER : Well, as you can see this article is a bit out of date but it got to
me in January on the day of releasing this issue of POWER so what can I do?
Ah, the troubles and traumas of being a disk mag editor...Who'd do it eh?
Oh well, somebody's got to do it...Sigh...
