Genealogy: Initial demonstrative Dynastie version released
Some time ago I've announced a new genealogy program for the Amiga. But since Bonds has priority this new program progresses only very slowly. Anyhow, I decided to translate the existing source code and to give all interested people a first impression of the program. At this time it reads family trees of GEDCOM format and displays the personal data.

HighAnt Development at new URL
Marco Frischkorn of HighAnt Development:
Due to a move to an own webserver, the URL of HighAnt Development changes.
The new URL is: http://www.highantdev2.de.
Should you nevertheless use the old URL, you'll get an error message,
and when you access the main page you'll be redirected automatically to
the new domain.
These changes were necessary as I need scripts and programs in future
which my current web hosting service does not offer in a normal hosting
package.
The mirrors of Frogger and SoftCinema will probably move in the next days
as well. If and when this happens I have to decide with the webmaster.

5.000.000 website visitors :)
If we were paid an Euro for every person who visits our website, we would now
be incredibly rich :). Today more than 5,000,000 visitors have been
counted. The good thing is that the next full million will now be reached much
faster; we counted 4 million in October 2001 - only about 4 months ago.
This is just like making money - the first million is the hardest to get :).

GFX-BASE: Interview with Marcin Kielesinski
Via the title link you will find a
GFX-BASE interview in English
with Marcin Kielesinski, the programmer of MungMem and the recently released
'Sherman Blanker'. This blanker is based on a comic-strip series,
which was published in 150 daily newspapers. The first version of this
blanker was originally programmed for the PC. But thanks to Marcin Kielesinski
this funny blanker, which supports AGA as well as graphic boards, can
now also be used for Amiga.
At the weekend GFX-BASE is going to publish the review of PuzzleBOBs,
which Sebastian Brylka and Olaf Koebnik were kind enough to make available.

... A historical moment ... (update)
This evening, on the 20. February, there is a moment for one minute which has been only one time, more than thousand years ago!!
Two minutes after 8 pm we will have the following date:
20:02 20.02.2002
This is a register with a perfect symmetry and is called "Palindrom".
This has been happened at
10:01 10.01.1001
more than thousand years ago. This will not happen any more because the maximal digital marking of a day is 23:59. On 30.03 3003 this will not be possible because we do not have 30 hours!
See you!
Peter Glauser
CEO / Manager
webware.ch GmbH
Addendum:
Lizard has pointed out in a commentar that there is another Palindrom on 21:12 21.12.2112 - but this will still last a while :)
