Jeff Beck brought Jazzrock to the
masses. A really great guitarist.

I have tested many HTML editors along the way, to be able to do this webzine.
Now I have actually grown very found of SoftQuads HoTMetaL PRO.
I use the 4.0 version. It seems to be quite adequate for most HTML doings.
I guess the next big step will be XML instead of a beefier HTML editor.
Other favos, as you know, is Macromedia Dreamweaver (4.0 now, but expensive ) and MS Front Page 2000 ( O.K. for the price ).
HoTMetal is probably the most priceworthy alternative ( as long as you don´t own MS Office 2000 Premium, which includes Front Page 2000 ).
Try it !

There`s nothing much new going on.
I´m busy revamping and bugfixing my site at the moment.
You can´t guess how buggy it starts to be as the site grows.
Loads of old garbage HTML left over from earlier editions necessary to throw away. Kinda like if you would have to defragment your harddrive manually.
I see why there´s plenty of work at the webbureaus.
HTML may not be hard to grasp, but it takes endless time to execute it. For older news: visit my

If you want to read some of my earlier News headlines, you can visit my "Backup"- page. That´s my garbage collection section. I´ve been told to not throw everything away at once.

Talking about something completely different: I just noticed that "Betanews" has a totally new layout. I recommended that site earlier. Check it out to see for yourself. Still interesting ;)

 
Cakewalk Home Studio 9.0, but more interesting; Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.0 is to be released in October -no more latency is the word as well as rm and mp3 saving options. As of now; Cakewalk Sonar 1.0 is released as a replacement.

I have not brought you many news lately. There´s so much other things in life than updating, I´m sure you know...Fun though, to see that my "news" below was such a hit ! Napster is massmedias darling today, and has been named the net:s first killer-app since the first Mosaic browser. RIAA is scared to death and fights furiously in the courtroom. I´m afraid I´m not able to name the next killer app today, but I guess webpads with large miniature harddrives for mp3:s and built in mobile-phones plus wireless docking with PC:s and each other is the next big thing...

Hope you haven´t missed the fuzz about "Napster". Napster is a small piece of software which allows users to exchange mp3:s directly between their computers, instead of visiting a big software archive. The software makes it possible for a user to allow one of his/hers folders on his/hers harddrive to be accessible by other surfers while surfing the web oneself. The user will fill that particular folder with ones favorite mp3:s for others to get at, while at the same time have all other current folders online at ones disposal for download(usually about 20000 users at the same occasion). The record companies hates this invention, and have sued the young 19 year of age inventor for billions of dollars. I really hope the courts turn for freedom of speech on this one. I seriously recommend you to download and use this piece of software, not only as a way of support but just for it´s great. It even has a built in mp3 player of very good quality for quick, easy listening at ones prey. You will find it at http://www.napster.com, I hope it´s still there....

Latest news is that "Real" have let Real Player 7 (RP 8 is out now) reach "final" stage, and that Real Jukebox  is updated so that you can record Music-CD:s from directly within Jukebox.

Another issue for me is that, now when I have started to use a slightly more advanced layout at my site, I really have discovered how annoying it is that Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer doesn´t support the same design elements. I use IE 5.5, but to my surprise, in some areas Navigator do support more advanced design elements. In others don´t. And those shouting at W3C organisation for help, I really don´t know, their reference browser "Amaya" makes most web-pages collapse totally. Unless they´re really simple. Mabe Microsofts attempts to rule the world aren´t entirely bad. But then again, nothing is entirely bad.

I made this Newspage evidently to inform about what´s going on. Lately my doings has been mostly focused around the choice of what New OS:s to use at ones desktop, to be really productive. I´ve tried Windows 2000, BeOS 4.5, SuSE Linux 6.2, Red Hat Linux 6.1 and can only confirm that Windows 95/98 wins a knockout victory for almost ALL desktop use. No hard seeing why the US government worries about monopoly. (P.S. Windows Millennium is great, buy it ! As for Linux: choose Mandrake 7.1 and be sure to install all updates including the kernel and you´ve got a killer OS...D.S.) Inside views from the developers arena can be found at:
