Interview with Urban Müller (Aminet Administrator)

Interview with Urban Müller
by Petra Struck - 09.01.2003 (In Deutsch)

As we had to report in early January, the Aminet series of CDs was cancelled. So Aminet CD #52 will be the last one put together. This turn of events compelled us to ask a few questions of Urban Müller, the person who does the CDs and is also an Aminet administrator.

Amiga-News: Who is Urban Müller?

Urban Müller: I'm an Amiga fan since way back when. I first satisfied this passion during my IT studies and then as I worked as a search machine programmer.

Amiga-News: What constitutes Aminet and what is Aminet?

Urban Müller: Aminet was the attempt to ease the load on our university's Amiga archive through the use of mirrors, and it succeeded through the help of volunteers.

Amiga-News: How many years have you busied yourself with Aminet?

Urban Müller: Oh my God, it's been almost ten years! :)

Amiga-News: How is Aminet organized? Who does what and how long does it take to do it?

Urban Müller: The two moderators - Matthias Scheler and I - proofread all uploads for correct *.readme file, to make sure there are no viruses, for appropriate content and correct category designation. Normally this doesn't take too much time, however new features (for example the new web interface from Andrea Kareth) and the maintenance of the many mirrors take some time.

Amiga-News: What sort of difficulties have you had to overcome in this enterprise?

Urban Müller: Almost everything has gone quite well. Only occasionally are mirror admins difficult to reach, and I myself have a network card problem with the Amiga :)

Amiga-News: How is Aminet financed?

Urban Müller: Luckily Aminet's financial requirements are not very high, because bandwidth and storage space have been provided by universities.

Amiga-News: The cancellation of the Aminet CD series will leave a hole that will not be easily filled. Why exactly is it being stopped?

Urban Müller: The number of breaks shrank steadily, also in part it's due to the fact that almost everyone can connect to the Internet and therefore doesn't need a CD.

Amiga-News: Under what circumstances would it be possible to carry on the CD series, for instance would it help if we had a subscription campaign which registered 500 new subscribers?

Urban Müller: I think that would only postpone the cancellation a bit.

Amiga-News: Could you possibly turn over the rights to make Aminet CDs to someone else?

Urban Müller: I wouldn't rule that out, if someone is interested.

Amiga-News: What feelings do you have about the current Amiga situation?

Urban Müller: It's going to be difficult for the Amiga to expand the tiny user base after such a long period of standing still, but I would like to be surprised by positive developments.

Amiga-News: Do you still have an Amiga?

Urban Müller: Of course, but now I spend more time using Linux.

Amiga-News: In closing, is there anything you would like to say to readers?

Urban Müller: I thank all the people who have contributed to Aminet, especially the software authors, who have invested countless hours. Without them the Amiga would never have been useful for as long as it has.

Amiga-News: Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to our questions. (ps) (Translation: dm)

H & P


Haage & Partner Website Revised
The webpage of Haage & Partner has been completely revised. At the first glance it seems that Amiga will not play a big role at H&P in the future. The resisted decline of the Amiga market is apparent. The Amiga pages are there as they were before, but the principle focus of H&P is now visibly in other areas. (ps) (Translation: dm)

No Soldering Required: Radeon 9500 Conversion to Radeon 9700
Driver patch enables functions only offered by more expensive products.

After the Russian website Overclockers.ru publicized a modification in which one could change a Radeon 9500 with 128 megs RAM to a better-performing Radeon 9700 with a BIOS update and a bit of solder, the story continued: tinkerers found new ways to do the same thing without any hardware modification nor warranty voiding, although there are a few restrictions.

Amiga Inc. Website Covered in Computeractive's Netcharts
The website of Amiga Inc. has landed in the "Netcharts" section of the English-language computer newspaper 'Computeractive.' The website is described as follows:

www.amiga.com
Unlike the rest of the 1980s home computer systems such as the Sinclair Spectrum and Commodore 64 that went west during the early 1990s, the Amiga is still reasonably common. All sorts of software and applications are still being developed and Amigas are still widely used to create video effects for TV and film. (ps) (Translation: dm)

amiga-news.de tries new ways of financing
The costs for amiga-news.de were covered by banner ads only. Due to the stagnation of the Amiga market it became more and more difficult during the last year to find paying clients for these banner ads.

With Martin Wolf of Eternity we try from today on a new kind of advertisements. amiga-news.de sets up a banner for a product, in this case 'Tales of Tamar', and for every purchase that was done via this banner amiga-news.de gets a provision. (ps) (Translation: ub)

No Amiga to Waste: Ideas wanted!
This page can be used as a source of ideas for coder. If you have a real good idea for a program on the Amiga that should be programmed you can post it here, and maybe a coder will take it and make it.

Coders for the Amiga are rar nowadays but some are still looking for ideas or asking what programmes are needed.

The last entry was taken years ago, so I wanted to get some attention to it again. (Translation: gf)

TTEngine 6.0 and TTManager 1.1
TTEngine 6.0 and TTManager 1.1 have been released. New features:

  • Font requester in TTEngine. From user point of view it looks almost the same as ASL font requester that every Amigan is familiar with. The font requester uses data stored in "ttengine.database" file and is an easiest way to use the database with applications. Requester gadgetry is based on GadTools to keep independence of disk-based GUI packages and the look consistent with ASL. Three new functions in the library API have been introduced to handle the requester: TT_AllocRequest(), TT_RequestA() and TT_FreeRequest(). See autodoc file for details. Currently the font requester provides only the basic functionality - font family and size - and will be extended in the future versions in the compatible manner (TT_RequestA() is taglist based much like ASL). A new version of "PlainTest" example program uses the font requester.

  • Internal: Cache autooptimisation. TTEngine font cache now modifies its structure in the runtime to minimize cache search time. For example with "PlainTest" example program cache optimization lowers the number of cache search iterations from 15 500 to 6 700.

  • Cache size limit. TTEngine 6.0 font cache size is limited and the limit can be adjusted by user. This way you can avoid memory exhaustion even if working with hundreds of TrueType fonts. When the limit is reached TTEngine starts to flush unused fonts from the cache. Read more about this feature in an User's Guide document in the distributuion archive.

  • Internal: TTEngine global data acces is arbitrated with semaphores. It eliminates a rare possibility of lockups when multiple applications use TTEngine simultaneously.

  • TTManager: The database manager is now aware of cache limit setting saved in the database file.

The Register: Microsoft's masterplan to screw phone partner - full details
Andrew Orlowski deals in the English language article, which you can read under the title link, in detail with how the dispute between Microsoft and the telephone manufacturer Sendo started out, and who carries which responsibility for this argument.

In this connection we remind of the fact that Amiga Inc. announced in their Executive update of November 2002 a partnership with Sendo concerning their Smartphones Z100. The telephone should be delivered together with the SmartPhonePack by Amiga Inc. Few days later Sendo announced in a special report that the development program for Smartphones was given up, and as consequence the Z100 will not be delivered. (ps) (Translation: sk)

Image cataloging: PhotoFolio 2.3 upgrade released
Steeple Software is proud to announce the release of PhotoFolio v2.3. After two free updates (2.1 and 2.2) that introduced many new features, PhotoFolio v2.3 is a paid upgrade that adds even more features:

New browse window functionality
  • Sorting ascending and descending in the browse window.
  • Select orphaned proofs (proofs that have no images associated with them).
  • Open with configurable context menu can send a proofs' image to any application.
  • On opening can automatically synchronize the browse window contents with an updated directory.


Better proof management
  • Delete orphaned proofs. Images that have been deleted that have already had proofs created can be deleted automatically.
  • Create proofs for new images. Creates proofs for new images that have been added to directories automatically (where proofs have been created for the directort before).
  • Send a list of proofs and details to a text file.


Improved drag and drop support
  • ARexx scripts can be dropped onto browse windows, the main window and the ARexx settings window.
  • Images can be dragged and dropped from the Workbench to add them to a browse window.


New program windows
  • Path palette window for storing paths that are used often.
  • Directory view module - now has toolbar with copy, move, rename, delete.


Show window
  • Can save the loaded size image or the original full size image.
  • Can perform image processing. Current operators include Flip X and Y, Rotate 90, -90 and 180, Sharpen and Gamma adjustment.


Main window
  • List of open browse and show windows in a menu for easy selection to bring to the front.


Tooltypes
  • Per project settings with the SETTINGS tooltype.


ARexx - Additional commands:
  • ADDIMAGE (Adds an image to a browse window)
  • DELETEORPHANEDPROOFS (Deletes proofs that have no image)
  • CREATENEWPROOFS (Creates proofs for new images)
  • SELECTORPHANEDPROOFS (Selects proofs that have no image)


There have also been many minor improvments and several bug fixes. See complete list complete here. With continuing support, PhotoFolio promises to be one of the most powerful image cataloguing systems available on the Amiga platform. PhotoFolio v2.3 is available now. Full purchase details are available here.

REBOL/View on Amiga - new Reblets available
As from now some new Reblets/programs are available in the download area under the title link, which have all been developed on the Amiga (68k) under REBOL/View.

Apart form the tool "Web-GetIt!" for downloading complete HTML conforming Web pages, four interesting gamelets (Kniffel-It!, Move-It!, Cascade-It! and Break-It!) are waiting for you to try them out. The size of each Reblet is less than 30 kBytes!

Minimum requirements for these programs are an Amiga with 68030/50 MHz processor as well as the corresponding REBOL/View environment. Of course the programs can also be used on every other platform under REBOL/View or REBOL/IOS. (ps) (Translation: cb)

Amiga Inc.: T-Shirt statement
Amiga Inc.'s Web site features a statement on the T-Shirt situation in conjunction with the Coupon campaign.

This is the statement:
(4-Jan-2003) Amiga Inc. would like to apologise unreservedly for the delay in getting the T-shirts out. We have received all the orders from the dealers and no blame should be attached to the dealers for the delay. There are several reasons for the delay and we are working on trying to get these remedied as quickly as possible. We hope to have everything sorted out in the next few weeks. (ps) (Translation: cb)

Amiga .mod remix scene
It seems that many people long to see more remixes of classic Amiga .mod music. In an attempt to create an Amiga .mod remix scene as have been achieved in the C64 scene by sites like remix.kwed.org, c64audio.com and remix64.com, I have created a new Amiga remix specific mailing list at Yahoo Groups.

Let's hope for a growing Amiga remix scene in 2003. (ps) (Translation: cb)

Innovation at amiga-news.de
With the beginning of this month is Sven Drieling not anymore at our services for news and commentation as after 3½ years full of work for amiga-news.de he now wants to attend to his own projects again. For possible problems with the scripts Sven remains, though :). Very special thanks to Sven for the work he had done.

Up to now Sven had done the Sunday news and had helped in managing the forum and the comments. Besides that he lent a helping hand in cases when I had no time. We have internally discussed several possibilities how to fill this gap respectively how to solve the problem as I really can't and don't like to give up my free Sunday.

On Sundays and public holidays only ANF news
So to take the load off all (the translators, too) a little bit we came to the conclusion that from now on there will be no news investigation and no entering of news from our side on Sundays and public holidays but only releasing news that were entered into the ANF. That means that also news that are sent to us via email will not be released until the next working day.

Help of any kind wanted
On this occasion we'd like to remember our readers that amiga-news.de is a news site from users for users meaning we have to rely on help. Your help could be for example that you enter news that are coming across your way while surfing into the ANF or you enter a good web site you encounter into the ALD. A good help would also be the arranging of payed advertisement banners as these are the basis of the financing of amiga-news.de.

Another possibility to work actively on amiga-news.de is the creation of articles of all kind, for example workshops, experience reports, previews, reviews, exhibition reports and everything else that could interest our readers. The help in translating is also everytime very welcome.

Further suggestions?
We are very interested to hear your suggestions how we could improve amiga-news.de and are eagerly awaiting your hints and proposals. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Programming language: PowerD v0.20 alpha 4
Martin Kuchinka has today released the version 0.20 alpha 4 of the programming language 'PowerD'.

Download: alpha.lzx

What's new with this last alpha release? Well, again several bugfixed, but there is also one new executable called 'dc_68k', which is the same as 'dc' except that this executable generates the 68k only code, so it's only for ppl with older non ppc Amigas. Else it's completely the same as the 'dc' compiler.
Uploaded the TextInput.mcc modules by Miklos Nemeth. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Blackbirds Nest


Retrogame: Missile Command
Today the website of Blackbird celebrates its third birthday. Because of that Blackbird makes the readers a present with the retrogame 'Missile Command'.

Compared with the original version (made by Michael Rosskopf) Blackbird has added three different levels of difficulty, a title screen, a screenmode requester and many minor improvements. For instance it is now always possible to quit the game by pushing the ESC-key.

The game runs starting from a 30er processor with 2-4 MB FastRAM and graphic card. Besides this it is UAE-compatible. Under UAE you simply have to choose UAEGFX 640x480x8bit.

USB-card: First snapshots of UltraBUS
For the first time Creative Development shows a few simple snapshots of the first prototype of its USB-card which many people have already seen at ARC 2002.

You can have a look at the card here. At the second picture you can have a more detailed look at the card - you can also recognize the FlashROM as well as both extension ports.

The final layout will be clearer and possibly more compact but already right now the card makes a good impression. Creative Development is very buzy while finishing the development of the card and hopes to report further news soon. (ps) (Translation: dr)

The program ContextSAS written by Andre Dörffler makes it possible to create and use context sensitive menus for AmigaOS 3.5+. The DefIcons-system is supported. With the help of a few additional tools it is possible to iconify Workbench screens and to create connections.

Today version 1.63 has been published. Some new features have been added in this version. It is now possible to show the name (=title) of the context. A new internal command has been also added. With its help it is possible to filter the content of WB-listers. Of course some bugs have been also fixed.

The end of an era - last Aminet CD published
Because most Amiga users have direct access to the Internet now, the bimonthly Aminet CD has become somewhat redundant. As a consequence, the Aminet team has decided to stop distributing CDs. Aminet as a whole is of course not in danger of being shut down, the service offered by the web and FTP servers will remain the same.

The latest (and final) Aminet CD, no. 52 (December 2002), includes the full version of Andreas Kleinert's Superview Productivity Suite II as the highlight. SuperView II reads, writes and/or converts more than 50 graphic formats and also integrates external programs like Xpk, Ghostscipt or MetaView. In addition to converting or displaying graphics (on more than 20 supported graphic cards (via CyberGraphX, Picasso96 or special driver systems)), the program offers more than 30 different effects for picture manipulation.
