- SOME THINGS WENT WRONG
- ----------------------
-
-
-
- This little article was not meant to be written for any diskmag, but it is
- just written to make some things clear.
- But every diskmagazine is free to publish it when they want to, this article
- is written to be read, so the more diskmagazines publish it, the more it will
- be read !
-
- First I will write some text about some articles of mine and after that I
- will write some lines about two versions of PERVERTER, that were released on
- the same day.
- And at the end I will write some words about my new packmenu.
-
-
-
- --- ARTICLE MISTAKES ---
-
- Let me start by telling you what this is about: it is about the fact that
- some articles that I wrote have been published in two or three diskmags,
- and I mean the fact that the SAME articles have been published in DIFFERENT
- diskmagazines.
- This is (ofcourse) not really interesting for the scene.
- I therefore I apologize for this.
- But let me explain how all of this started...
-
- A very long time ago (I am talking about more than 1 year !) STRIKER and I
- had the idea to start a little diskmagazine.
- For some reasons (that I will not explain here) the project was cancelled, but
- I had already written some articles.
- It would have been a waste of time when the articles were never published, so
- I decided to send to articles to the editors of MEGAZIN so that they could
- place them in issue #3.
- That issue was planned to be released on 23 July 1993.
- It was round September 1993 and the issue was still not released.
- Someone from APPLAUSE asked me if I could write some articles for their
- magazine.
- I gave them the same articles and told them that the articles were originally
- planned for MEGAZIN but since I thought that I was never to be released again,
- I told them that they could use my articles.
- Two months later again, I forgot about this incident and send only one article
- (the interview with DANNY) to the CHIT-CHAT.
- I called to RAVEDOWN (he used to be in VICIOUS but at the time I called him
- he was already in TRSI) and asked him NOT to publish the interview in their
- diskmagazine.
- He told me that he would call TWAINPAIN (the maineditor) and tell him to skip
- the interview.
- I thought that I had taken care of things...
-
- Two weeks later (somewhere in December 1993) I got my hands on MEGAZIN 3 and
- saw my articles (including the interview) published.
- I was mad about the interview, but there was nothing I could do about it.
- I phoned Danny and told him what happened.
- We decided that we would change the interview a little bit (we updated the
- interview, because it was made one year before) and place it in CHIT CHAT.
-
- Then I arrived at THE PARTY III and saw THING #3, which included all my
- articles and the interview, this was really my mistake because I forgot about
- it.
-
- As it appeared, my articles were published in two magazines and my interview
- in three.
- To avoid this from happening again, I decided not to write anymore articles
- (and when I do, I will send them to ONE magazine only!!!) except for the
- Dutch-only magazine JONG, SNEL & WILD.

-
- --- PERVERTER MISTAKES ---
-
- This is about the fact that two different versions of PERVERTER have been
- released on the same day.
- This is how it started.
- On Saturday and Sunday (25 and 26 December 1993) I worked my butt off to
- finnish about 40 packages to send away to my contacts.
- On one of the disks that I sent was PERVERTER V1.4.
- This version was meant to be released on THE PARTY III.
- But half an hour after I mailed the articles I got a phone call from KIWI
- (the coder of the utility) who told me NOT to spread the 1.4 release because
- he removed some bugs and made a 1.41 release.
- I told him it was too late already, because I just mailed the stuff.
- But I could stop the modem-spreading of the 1.4 release.
- The 1.41 release is spread through modem at the beginning of January 1994.
- Note that the 1.4 and the 1.41 release has the same release date (28-12-1993).
- So most mail-swappers have the 1.4 release and the modem-swappers have the
- updated 1.41 release.
-
- I am really sorry for this, but no one is too blame for this.
- It was just a little 'timing-problem'
-
-
-
- --- PACK MISTAKES ---
-
- I promised to some guys that my new packmenu would be finished.
- First I told them it was to be finished somewhere in August 1993, later I
- told them September 1993 and after that I just said soon...
- But we all know these delays (take BROKEN PROMISES for example, we have been
- told several times that it will be released soon).
- I will tell you now that I just don't know when it will be ready to be
- released, you will just have to wait for it !
