Server failure
As one or another might have discovered already, the following URLs are currently unavailable:
www.amiga.ac (search engine) and www.amigatools.net (my homepage). Several e-mail accounts
and websites on www.microsoft.nu and www.intermail.nu as well as several other domains located
on the same server.
Reason: The cable modem connecting the server to the net has suddenly failed Friday evening.
Sadly we have to wait for the provider maintenance to replace it, which will not happen before
Monday. Even this was almost impossible to accomplish. We have created a mirror this week,
however the IP routing is not yet active, and usually takes at least 48 hours (plus time shift
to the US, since the second DNS is running there).

CamX

Current infos on the CamX/Camouflage project
Martin Endres is still looking
for developers who want to develop audio/video/MIDI modules for
CamX/Elate. Notation editor, sample editor, Uni-SysEx/editor and so on.
As CamX has a modular concept, several (e.g. notation editors) could
be added to the CamX packet. The user could decide then which editor
he wants to use. Or he can use all at once.

uNDEFINABLE TUNEs as MP3
André Lorbach writes:
Some days ago I decided to release my latest music CD "uNDEFINABLE TUNEs" as MP3 for free
download. The CD is available both on Aminet and directly from my homepage
(download area).
I created my first AmigaAMP skin.
It looks rather well for a first attempt, I am curious what you think about it. It can
be downloaded from the link above.

DCE: BVision production successfully started
On March 9th, the first BVision boards have finished production. The cards will be
shipped to Vesalia Computer, so pre-orders can be met ASAP. The Permedia-II chip
now comes with a standard heat sink. This should remove temperatire problems.

written and what the subroutines are for. If you want to participate, contact
info@pagan-games.com. There will be a chat
room in the Member Area, too.

Metabox AG looking for programmers
As can be seen from the subject, we - Metabox AG - are looking for programmers short- and
long-term for reinforcing our software team. We have several full-time job openings.
The location is Hildesheim, Germany. We would prefer persons that already wrote software
on the Amiga, and know the AmigaOS concepts. Of course you are free to apply even if you
don't meet these criteria, if you meet the following:
- Required:
- Sufficient knowledge of the English language, e.g. you should be able to
communicate both verbal and in writing.
- Good to very good knowledge of the C programming language. Other languages, like Java,
C++, Rexx, PERL etc. should at least been touched. You should be able to work with
makefiles and complex source trees.
- You must be a ble to work in a team, following given style guides and programming
rules, working with a preemptive multitasking OS ;-). (This only briefly touches Linux.)
- Helpful:
- The ability to read and understand documentations of electronic parts and devices
(network, CPUs, graphics and common peripherals), and convert them into functional driver
software.
- Knowledge of the AmigaOS concepts.
- Basic knowledge of the 68k assembly language. It is sufficient to read them.
- Knowledge in HTML, and XML.
- A certain resistance to stress :-)
- Working area:
- Everything ranging from ultimate "low-level" subroutines up to applications,
with personal preferences and abilities of course being taken into account.
If you are not yet scared away and looking for an interesting job, you should apply
by e-mail at the following people:
schlote@metabox.de
finkel@metabox.de
A note from the translator: Since this was posted in a German newsgroup, and Metabox
is a company located in Germany, firm knowledge of the German language
wouldn't be a bad idea either. ;-) (mb)
