new diskmag issues 2009
category: general [glöplog]
Why? Oh why… Magic, do you always have to induce the same effect to outdated threads that a viagra pill induces to an 80 years old dick?
Not sure I could be arsed with a diskmag (unless it has windowed mode, supports more OSes than just windows etc.), but I'd like to read a few good articles now and then.
Suggestion. Stage 1: Build a website, with a cool diskmag style layout + audio (flash, html5, whatever). Put articles online as soon as they're done so they're not going stale or missing when the diskmag gets abandoned. Add an rss feed so we can be notified when there's new material.
Stage 2: make an exe for viewing it. Embedding rss/html in a demo is pretty trivial these days, and it can be presented in a super cool UI zine style, but with live updates. If you've seen the RSS screensaver in OSX, this is pretty much along the lines I'm thinking of (concept, not finished article ;) Doing this multiplatform is not much of a problem, and it would be easy to adapt it to the strengths of the OS too.

^^ "i didn't bother to actually read any of the thread so far, but i will post my boring and predictable solution to an assumed problem anyway"
Well, it was a boring and predictable thread :)
I just hope that 2010 gives us more new diskmag issues than 2009
I suck.
i just hope that gargaj writes an exception in topic.php that checks whether the user is magic and the lastpost date is >3 months!
i'm tempted.
