Amiga Future: page online again & updates

Announcement: new online magazine - GetBoinged
There had been a change at the head of the AMIGA online magazine "NoCover". With
a new chief editor and new ideas we want to look into a better future. For this
several preparations had taken place so that our plan can be put into effect.
The first step was the name change from "NoCover" into "GetBoinged". The second
step will follow in the next few days when our official homepage will go online
under "www.getboinged.de". All further details can be read then there.
With the "GetBoinged" magazine we want to go another way than other AMIGA online
magazines, here at "GetBoinged" you'll only read facts and nothing else that may
possibly be released someday in the future. Furthermore we refer to already
existing and usable hardware. There will definitely be no reports about the
alternative operating system MorphOS.
Because only a small number of users is participating we'll only come up with
specially chosen rubrics to offer a quite filled magazine despite this.
Point: new users
To secure our surviving you will be able to receive the "GetBoinged" magazine
not only via the Aminet or various AMIGA CD-ROMs. Owners and buyers of Windows
systems will be pleased as our magazine will be placed on several CD-ROMs of
"Windows" magazines, too. The CD-ROM subscription of the "GetBoinged"
respectively the once "NoCover" will be discontinued because of this step.
With kind regards,
Your "GetBoinged" editorial staff

Emulator: New WinUAE clipboard utility
There's now an improved clipboard utility (download updated clipboard utility
for 0.8.22R1) for WinUAE to exchange data between Windows and AmigaOS. It works
now with YAM, Editpad and everything that uses several hunks on the Amiga side.
The related Readme has been updated, too. The most important:
In YAM you choose the wanted block and press the winuaeclip hotkey
(CTRL+c is default). The YAM message No area marked can be ignored,
everything had been done correctly.

Combined player/decoder/encoder GUI for .ogg files
Carsten Siegner wrote:
Today I have finished the combined Ogg GUI for player/decoder/encoder. With this
you can set up nearly everything in the programs you want to. Among other
things the conversion of .ogg files to .wav files, encoding of AIFF,
AIFF/c and WAV to Ogg files. You can enter additional information about the
song in the Ogg file, too, like date, genre, track number, name of the song,
artist, comment and serial number. Besides, you can set the audio quality of the
Ogg file from 0 to 10.
This GUI can be obtained directly from me via email. The GUI has to be
installed in the same directory where the Ogg player and Ogg encoder are
placed. In addition you need a CLI program called "requeststring". But this is
included in the archive I send as it is freeware, too.

Start menu: AmiStart version 0.63 and new website
AMIGAplus wrote:
Darius Brewka has published the new version 0.63 of AmiStart. AmiStart is a Windows like start menu with quick-launchbar, drag&drop-support and a flexible graphical surface but also allows the transparency, rounded edges, background-textures and much more. In the new version AmiStart offers also the so called shape-layer which are flexible and programmable skins for controlling external applications like ARexx. The shape-layer of Songplayer is an example.
Besides this a new website of AmiStart has gone online which is hosted by GFX-BASE. (ps) (Translation: dr)

PageStream also for AmigaOS 4 and Amithlon?
Most of the participants of a former opinion poll of Grasshopper LLC concerning the future of the DTP-program PageStream voted for a port to Amiga OS 4, MacOS X and Linux x86. Deron Kazmeier thinks that a port to AmigaOS 4 is practicable when the system will be available on market. A special adaption to Amithlon is also possible.

We're Being Watched - Scientific Paper on the Computer Scene!
This has to do with an English language 23 page scientific document from George Borzyskowsky of Perth University, a document which is concerned with the subjects of `The Hacker Scene' and associated cultural art forms. The PDF (title link) is an interesting read and offers food for thought, that here a person standing entirely outside the computer scene tries to analyze it. For his research the scientist used old Aminet CDs and editions of Amiga demo scene diskmags, such as RAW and Grapevine.
