- People have been asking me two
- questions a lot lately:
- - »CL3:Will the Eurochart be released?»
- and, when I had answered »CL5:"YES"» to the
- first question:
- - »CL3:WHEN will it be released??»
- And indeed the first release of the
- »CL1:Eurochart» under the »CL9:Depth» label, the
- one you are reading now was intended
- for »CL7:September» or »CL7:October» release.
- Why not? Are we all just a bunch of
- inactive assholes in »CL9:Depth?»
- Probably, but I still think we have
- been working very hard on this issue,
- but then why?
- It might seem easy to you to start up
- an old legendary diskmag again, but
-
- »CL2: »BIG:NO!»
-
- We first intended to use the old code
- from issue #25 and upwards by
- »CL9:Estrup/ex. Static Bytes» who was the
- one nice guy who let us take over the
- »CL1:Eurochart». But he had a »CL3:HD-Crash», and
- so some bits of the code was lost, and
- we were unable to put in those bits
- again, as the code was sorely lacking
- in comments.
- So we had to start all over again with
- »CL9:Quedax» recoding the whole lot on basis
- of »CL9:Pixie/Polka B.»'s design and the old
- »CL1:Eurochart», and of course those things
- take time, and the code is still
- lacking some functions (eg.
- search-routine) which the old one
- featured. But the new code is still
- more system friendly... :)
- And of course those functions will be
- implemented in »CL5:issue #29».
- Then we needed new articles, new
- »CL5:votes», new »CL5:votetool», new »CL5:clip-art», new
- »CL5:music» and new »CL5:Eurostats», info about
- the people on the »CL5:charts» and new
- photos for the »CL5:gallery». (»CL8:Excuses,
- excuses... Who needs them? We HAVE
- been a bit lazy, I'm afraid!! -ed»)
- And all in a month or two, which is
- simply impossible, as most »CL9:Depth»
- members actually have a life... (wow!)
- (»CL8:Liar!!! -ed»)
- Anyway, this was just an explanation
- which hopefully saves us answering the
- same two questions over and over again
- in the future, and also an advice to
- budding mag-editors:
- »CL4:It is not as easy as it seems!»
- »PIC:Clip3.Sanctum»
