Well folks, as expected, it's been quite awhile since AF1 was released. For those people who thought this would be a nice weekly publication, i'm sorry to burst your bubble. I do apologize for the fact that this issue has been way too long in the making, but i was waiting on some of the articles for so long that i never thought they would actually come in.
I do think this is a quality issue, and as i had hoped, some of the theory was explored more indepth for those of you who want to know more than just the bare basics. Also, as some theory articles spew out a few pages of information that read like a textbook, i think Spyder and DHarmony do a good job showing some applications of theory rather than just babbling about it.
Anybody who wants to write a quality article for AF3 is welcomed to email it to me, my address is posted twice in this file. If you are unsure of the guidelines for an article, or want to run a topic by me, include that in your email too. Also, make sure you tell me your handle and the correct response address if the mail you sent was not from the account where you want to receive mail.
The IRC channel #trax has moved to a newly formed demo/music scene network, which as of now consists of only one server, irc.demoscene.org -- please update your clients to connect there to join #trax. There has been some controversy over whether or not to stay on AnotherNet, but all that aside i think it is time the scene had it's own dedicated network. Unlike some of the other private and better (err sorta) run networks, like AnotherNet, DalNet, etc... we will allow european servers to connect, and all the servers that connect will be run by scene people. If you are in europe and have an ISP with lots of bandwidth and a webserver or some sort of machine with not-so-taxing load and you would like to apply to be a server on this demo network, let me know in your email as well, with the stats of the machine, who would be adminning it, etc.
That's about it for now.. hopefully the next issue will be out sooner. Thanks again to Psibelius for posting this on the TraxWeekly mailing list.
Until next time..
