GFX-BASE: Interview with Marcin Kielesinski
Via the title link you will find a
GFX-BASE interview in English
with Marcin Kielesinski, the programmer of MungMem and the recently released
'Sherman Blanker'. This blanker is based on a comic-strip series,
which was published in 150 daily newspapers. The first version of this
blanker was originally programmed for the PC. But thanks to Marcin Kielesinski
this funny blanker, which supports AGA as well as graphic boards, can
now also be used for Amiga.
At the weekend GFX-BASE is going to publish the review of PuzzleBOBs,
which Sebastian Brylka and Olaf Koebnik were kind enough to make available.

... A historical moment ... (update)
This evening, on the 20. February, there is a moment for one minute which has been only one time, more than thousand years ago!!
Two minutes after 8 pm we will have the following date:
20:02 20.02.2002
This is a register with a perfect symmetry and is called "Palindrom".
This has been happened at
10:01 10.01.1001
more than thousand years ago. This will not happen any more because the maximal digital marking of a day is 23:59. On 30.03 3003 this will not be possible because we do not have 30 hours!
See you!
Peter Glauser
CEO / Manager
webware.ch GmbH
Addendum:
Lizard has pointed out in a commentar that there is another Palindrom on 21:12 21.12.2112 - but this will still last a while :)

Game: Freespace Update for PPC and 68k
There is now an update for the full version of Freespace available at
www.hyperion-entertainment.com (title link).
We released yesterday an update (both PPC and 68k versions) for the full
version of Freespace. This update adds some new explosion sound effects
to the game, additionally the mouse control and the CD32 Joypad Control
was enhanced. Also the AlphaTexture settings for the Warp3D Renderer of
Freespace are now always configured correctly, so that Voodoo 3 owners
do not need to set the Alpha manually. The update is for download for
registered users of Freespace for AmigaOS. There are two seperate
archives, one for PPC, one for 68k.
