`16.Jan.2023` Sven Scheele (ANF)	Event: Interface XXXIII in Kiel (Germany) on 28.01.2023 Sven Scheele writes: "On Saturday, January 28, 2023, the retro computer event "Interface" will take place again in Schwentinental near Kiel, Germany. As usual, organizers are the Vintage Computer Club (VCC), the Amiga Club Schleswig-Holstein (ACSH) and the Computer Club Klausdorf (CCK). Registration by e-mail at the address interface@jugendhaus-klausdorf.de is recommended. Without registration there is no guarantee for a free place. Even if there are no more Corona restrictions this time, we ask to participate only if you have no corresponding symptoms! But this should be self-evident. Once again, two large rooms (over two floors) are available. The multi-purpose room on the 1st floor is not available this time, but as an alternative we can share the café on the first floor (as a "workshop" for hardware projects, repairs and the like). The top floor offers enough space for talking shop and playing games on the computers and consoles we have brought along. Power strips and network cables must be brought by the participants. Official start is at 14 o'clock, from approx. 12 o'clock the organization team begins with setting up the tables etc. The venue is the Jugendhaus Klausdorf, Dorfstraße 101 in 24222 Schwentinental (Klausdorf district)."

For a retro-meeting as a part of that event, 30 seats of 1.2 by 0.7 meters each will be provided free of charge, the setup will start at 9 am, the event at 10 am. If you want to participate with retro hardware, please register exclusively via the e-mail address bloekchen@gmx.de. (snx) [News message: 16.

`16.Jan.2023` David Plesance (Twitter)	Book: Message to subscribers of German version of "Commodore - The Inside Story" David Pleasance, author of the book "Commodore - The Inside Story" addresses via Twitter the subscribers of the German edition of his work, especially those of the printed edition. Due to e-mail losses, he asks for the current delivery address for sending the printed version to amiga@lookbehindyou.de with the subject: "INSIDE STORY GERMAN VERSION". Subscribers of the e-book version, on the other hand, should send their current e-mail address to info@cbmamiga.com with the subject: "COMMODORE INSIDE STORY GERMAN VERSION EBOOK". Translated back into English, his message reads as follows: A REQUEST TO ALL GERMAN SPEAKING COMMODORE/AMIGA FANS WHO ORDERED THE GERMAN VERSION OF MY BOOK "COMMODORE THE INSIDE STORY" AS PRINTED VERSION: As some of you know, I had a health impairment in July and August last year, which even led to a hospital stay and a (minor) surgery. As a result, I was not productive for almost three months and therefore unfortunately missed the Christmas printing deadline. As you might guess, this is the time of year when all authors and publishers want to get their books out there - the season of giving. In the next few days, I will receive three estimates for printing the German edition of Commodore - The Inside Story, giving not only the current printing costs, but also an approximate date for receiving the finished product. At this point, I expect the books to be available by the end of March. In addition to this "challenge", I unfortunately also experienced an administrative nightmare when my email provider, Godaddy, in its inexhaustible wisdom (and a certain greed), decided to stop providing its customers with the "free" email that was included with the registration of our domain name. Instead, they insisted on forcing everyone to use Microsoft Outlook - which, of course, entails a monthly fee. Unfortunately, in my case, when Godaddy made the transfer from their system to Microsoft, much of my data disappeared - hundreds of emails dissolved into the ether, never to be seen again, and what's worse, neither company wants to take responsibility for this disaster. Why am I telling you all this? The reason is that I want to make sure I know your current shipping address so that I can properly deliver your copy of Commodore - The Inside Story in German translation. I am aware that due to the delay in printing this edition, some of you may have changed your address in the meantime anyway. Since all German copies of this book will be shipped from Germany to avoid customs problems, I ask each of you to send an email with your complete mailing address for delivery to amiga@lookbehindyou.de. Please mark your email with the subject INSIDE STORY GERMAN VERSION. However, for those of you who ordered the E-BOOK version, we will send it to you from the UK - so please send an email with the subject COMMODORE INSIDE STORY GERMAN VERSION EBOOK to info@cbmamiga.com.

`16.Jan.2023` Mixel	Jump'n Run: new demo version V1.4 of "Creeping Me Out Hex Night" Michael 'Mixel' Dawes provides another demo version of his jump'n run 'Creeping Me Out: Hex Night', created with the game construction kit Scorpion Engine. According to the developer, this new playable demo version provides "a few little changes here and there". The biggest change: Game performance is much better now, and it also works on A1200s with no fast RAM (which he doesn't recommend, it is just a preparation for future CD32 version). Basically the game requires 2 MB Chip and 1 MB Fast RAM as well as a 68020-processor. As the developer explained to us, the game is about 70% finished, and he will continue to expand and improve the game after its release. You can support the developer via his Patreon website.
