Okay, this shit always gets really long, so Im gonna go through the
month quickly - cuz a lot happened..
VIRUS!?!?! Did someone say virus? Apparently, our viewer scared a few
virus scanners, last month. Our coder and beta testers assured us that
it only does this because of the way it is coded, and not because of an
actual virus. Youll notice there is no external configuration file.
This is because it is coded using a self-modifying code, that actually
writes the config into the COM file. It will be fixed in future versions
but everyone that said it was a virus couldnt tell us which virus,
which would have aided in killing that part of the code. While were on
that note, the veiwer is awesome this month, check it out, but be sure to
read the IV.DOC
New guys.. Minuteman, an awesome ansi/vga dude, formerly of RiOT,
Liquid Vision and Asylum, also cool new ansi dudes, Carrion, a do-all
kind of dude, he does ascii, lit, and jams at music, Cybie, another cool
music guy, Beaner, yet another cool music guy leaves ReM to join our
kickin music section, and Phred, an awesome coder that we plan to
exploit to the fullest! : Welcome, all! While were still in members,
Dark iCE apparently didnt want to have THAT in his name kidding, iCE..
you guys jam, so he changed his handle to Shrike. And on a sadder note,
Techie will be leaving this month for college, and will no longer be
programming our viewer. Good luck, Paul. Thanks for everything!
Now, FinalNet has been scrapped due to a problem with Muerte that
ended up lasting a very long time his board died while he was in
Alaska for a month!, so we switched to Crime in Progress Net CiP.
Right after we did that, the CiP WHQ, Thieves Guild, got hit by a virus
not the one in the viewer, another one : and decided to hand over the
net. The net will be a multi-group supporting net, not just the official
CiA net. So if youre interested in getting your group into the net,
check out the net packet enclosed.
You may recall many packs ago, we had Mister E. with us as our only
Literary guy. Then he left to join a few other Lit groups. In the mean-
time, CiA Lit has been improving, and is now doing quite well were
proud of em!. Well, we decided to put out our own Lit mag, and
Mister E. has agreed to come back and spearhead the whole sha-bang!
Next month will be the release of our monthly Lit mag, 10 Ground and
Down. It will showcase all the work from CiA literary artists, and have
some pretty impressive affiliations with some of the scenes best Lit
guys. Were very excited about it. On that note, if youre interested
in joining a group that believes Lit guys should get the respect they
deserve, give us a call..
We would like to advertise the fact that we are interested in
getting some more VGA artists. Were going to concentrate more and more
on assembling a GOOD vga team over the next few months, and we plan to
get damned serious about it. If you have some talent in that area, give
us a call.
I had expected the summer to slow us down, but so far we havent
seen it. Everyone was out on vacation this month, and we still had a
decent amount of organization and effort from everyone. Thanks to all
that helped out! Be sure to check out all our releases, this month.
We had enough stuff to put out two music disks, with one of those being
a special Metallica release from Cerebral Neurosis. Its awesome! Later!
