New Song by Psyria
Psyria is a music project which produces songs exclusively with the AMIGA.
After about seven weeks, the Psyria homepage was updated.
Dennis Lohr wrote:
»First of all, a new song (MP3) is available for download in top
quality. The song "Sleppy Miriam" was transformed by request of the original
composer "Techno Overdose" into a club mix. The original song is available at
Techno Overdose.
Further, I am negotiating with my "old" record company again.
Soon, there will be a new contract. The release of the first record
was (if all goes well) aimed for summer 2001 on "Masonic Records
distributed by Virgin Europe". (Keep your fingers crossed :-))
Also, I'd like to remind of the other songs which are available for download,
as well as the forum and guestbook. Everybody can post his comments on the
songs, the homepage and anything else there.«

Dynamite Update 1.1- Download Now!
Today a new version of the online game dynAMIte has been published which of course
is better, more colourful, and louder. Some bugs were fixed, a new bonus and a new
chat command (/msg) were added. One new feature e.g. is the "Afterburner" which lets
the flames last a bit longer.
For the time being Pulpfiction is the first server this new version runs on.
And the rest (especially the mostly fastest server, RNO) hopefully would not take too
long to 'wake up'.

"Knights and Merchants" to be Ported to MAC
e.p.i.c. interactive entertainment porting "Knights and Merchants"
e.p.i.c. interactive entertainment GmbH has signed an license agreement
to port the real time strategy game "Knights and Merchants" to MAC.
The world "Knights and Merchants" plays in is a counterpart to the medieval
age. Expect for the imaginary geography of our world all of the game contents
were take from the European and especially from the Anglo-Saxo medieval times
around 1200 u.C.. There are no additional fantastic elements as like e.g
tale creatures used. The player takes the role of a simple captain serving the
kings commands. Due to a confederacy against the king and his empire the
captain (the player) gets assigned the job to defend the royal provinces remaining.
Expect for this land the kingdom has fallen apart to many small principalities and
counties. After disposal of the ancient empire was lost the king himself in his
capital city gets threatened by hostile forces. This is the starting situation
the player faces at the beginning of the game. The players task is to reconquer
all of the provinces which have belonged to the ancient empire.
The game "Knights and Merchants" can be taken for a strategical economy simulation.
Cardinally the economic part represents the main element of this game running in
real-time. With numerous medieval buildings in combination with then customary producer
goods can manufacture several wares. He lets build and maintain buildings and streets by
his 'bondslaves'. The economic structures are simulated in detail whereby each ware is
produced using several raw materials and passes the respectively number of manufacturing
sites. All of those manufacturing systems are visualized in detail and comprehensible
enabling the player to fast and reliable control economy. The result of all productive
activities is the manufacture of weapons and armaments. Mentionable in this are the
logistics the player prearranges by the structure of transport rout (streets). All of
the wares must be transported between the houses by assistants which marks down
planning of the town, production times, and buildings, thus the efficiency of economy.
Also in this the player gets the transported wares graphically displayed. All game
figures have their specific operational area and do their work independently. The do not
depend on any control by the player. The players opportunities are limited to indirect
commands for creating buildings, streets, corn fields, etc.. Only the military units can be
directly commanded by the player.
More information about "Knights and Merchants" are to find at the projects section of
our homepage:
http://www.epic-interactive.com.
Consulting Thomas Steiding via telephone arose that there is no version for Amiga planned for
the time being, because apparently there is not enough demand.
Well, this game sounds quite interesting. Maybe we are able to assure Thomas Steiding of the antipode. ;-)

Update: TAWS v0.7 is Online
A new version of TAWS - the Amiga Workbench simulation - is now online. TAWS is a pure
JavaScript simulation of the Amiga Workbench for Win32 Internet Explorer 5.x, just for fun and
of course in dedication for the Amiga. ;-)
Innovations are:
- Real Amiga-Menue
- Implementation of the menue commands «Open», «Close» and «Close Workbench ...»
- Preferences program for user settings which even can be saved (pay regard to the simulated BOOPSI elements)
- Background patterns for windows and Workbench
- Configurable fonts, font size and colours
- OS3.5 Icon-Dragging-Patch (for dragging several icons without SHIFT key)
- SolidWindows-Patch (no fram while dragging or enlarging windows, but those will be redrawn immediately)
- PowerWindows-Patch (window parts can be placed out of the visible area)
- ClickToFront-Patch now can be disabled, too
- Transparency while dragging icons (configurable, too)
Feedback is always welcomed, as well as your favourite patterns which
I think about to implement into TAWS, then.

The Coolest Amiga on Earth!
Among yesterday's Aminet uploads AmigArt has found three pictures by
Mikael Persson from
Sweden showing his super-cool Amiga built into an "Amiga" table (Aminet-Readme):
Our Danish translator Viggo has done a raw translation
of the readme text:
What do you think about my new Amiga? Cool, eh? I started to work on it right after
Christmas, so it took more than four month to finish this thing. Are my grandfather and
I just slow, are we?
The frame contains of aluminium rods with two hardened 6 mm glass plates put in between.
The drawing was done by print office. Inside of the table there are two strong and above all
silent fans for cooling the system. There are also four fluorescent tubes of 18 watts each -
this can make the thing warm.
On the forefront you can see the floppy drive next to the CD-ROM drive and the on/off switch (on the left).
The other switches are to control a "lightning control station" with which I can let the light inside of
the table blink in different colours (note: like in a disco). On the backside of the table (not visible
on the picture) there are infrared units and all of the Amiga ports (note: serial, parallel, etc). Inside
of table there is an Amiga 4000 which was completely reconstructed. Please, pay attention to the wireless
keyboard and mouse on the table.... and the best of all... the TFT flatscreen, which even works with my
Amiga.
This was a brief description. If you would like to get more information just write to me!
Of course I have got many pictures of my Amiga's reconstruction.
I also do other things. As soon as I can get a little help I will build a new Amiga table
which even will be lifted to the ceiling after use.
Regards, Mikael Persson

Heise: Strato-Domains Offline Possibly Because of Attack
Since yesterday many websites which are hosted at Strato cannot be accessed any longer. Many Amiga-sites
are also concerned.
Heise writes:
«An attack to the Strato-server cannot be excluded any longer - in contrary to the loss of current
which Strato called to be the reason. The press spokesman Sören Heinze called the incident as a
"abnormal shutdown of the memory unit" and told heise online that he accepts a report against unknown
in the next time. KPNQwest technician said that an attack from outside is almost impossible. Heinze
didn't want to exclusive any possibility as the reason for the offline.»

The Kickstart Archives V1.1
The most important innovation of version 1.1 of KICKSTART ARCHIVES is the integrated freeware-search-engine
"S@lz&Pfeffer Leicht 1.0" by Rainer Eschen.
With the help of a pre-calculated JavaScript-file it is possible searching the websites offline
on the CD-R. The search engine does not depends on platforms and is directly integrated in the index-tree
of KICKSTART ARCHIVES. It is only expected a web-browser which supports frames and JavaScript-standard 1.1.
There is a german spoken help function at any time. But there must be said that interpreting the
ca. 8 MByte script-file when starting the search engine takes ca. 10 minutes on a 900 MHz Pentium III-system (WinME, IE 5).
But each search for a string takes just ca. one second. (Remark: THE KICKSTART ARCHIVES themselves
and images are put on a harddrive of Amiga 2000 with Blizzard 2060 and 64MByte RAM under AmigaOS 3.5.
The images are burned with MakeCD 3.2.)
