Welcome aboard, Astrid! We're really glad to have you.

I'm Astrid, and I'm quite pleased indeed to be the new staff member around here. Thanks for keeping ticalc.org a great website, and keep writing good reviews! Also, if you have survey suggestions, please submit them to surveys@ticalc.org.

Will he actually write reviews, or just supervise them and make sure no inappropriate reviews are allowed?

Review *editors* approve and edit reviews.

nice to see you as staff! Congrats

Did he actually also did archive updates as well now? cuz there's an insane amount of new files on the front page now o.O

You can thank Patrick for most of that. :-)

Nope, not me. The pending queue was around 220, and now it's down to two.

Ah ok :)

Congradulations!

Great! Now I can pick back up on my project to review the entire TI-89 basic game archive!

Cool! I want to get a set of guidelines for writing reviews posted, so that they're all in a consistent style and I have to do only a minimal amount of reformatting.

congrats Astrid.

also, it would have been nice to at least get a response to my own application for file archiver.....

Seconded.

Congratulations Astrid! Actually I kind of already knew about this, because I'm really cool, but I forgot. Good job!

Any chance we'll have more news updates now?

I think that Bejewelled game should be featured in a small news. It's the first bejewelled game ever made on any calc model (just do a ticalc search on "Bejewelled" without the quotes and besides this new game you'll just find a weird BASIC clone that isn't even bejewelled) and graphics are pretty good. Gameplay seems also good as well.

Besides that, Idk for other news, I wonder if they alerady hired their new file archiver...

I have it on good authority that a new archiver was hired and summarily removed for some reason.

And Kevin, re: news, you thought up some good ideas two articles ago in Bowling, imo. :)

well i wasn't involved in bowling developpement back then, because I didn't had internet at home and I couldn't post on UTI forums, unless you mean ideas from my old programs

Yup, that's exactly what I meant, your suggestions from existing programs that you made in the Bowling thread here.

hmm i dont remember posting in this thread, it started january 2007 and i wasnt posting on uti at that time

I heard the same thing oddly enough.

What did you guys do, make it up and then tell each other?

This game is kinda like bejewled, but dosent have it in the name.

Anyways... ticalc should make a practice of featuring programs more often... POSSIBLY, oh possibly, EVEN CONSDERING user requests...

My fault.. I updated the link
sorry

It's worth noting that community suggestions for news articles are always welcome at news@ticalc.org.

Eh, I and I know others have found that to generally be a negative influence on the featuring of their programs or game rather than a positive influence.

Well, maybe not generally, but sometimes....

*cough DoorsCS6 cough*

DoorsCS 6 probably should have been featured. Even if you think the GUI routines aren't very useful or you don't like that it takes up two app pages (I personally don't mind), it's still something that's pretty unique and is quite an accomplishment.

There were probably other programs too that should have been featured, but I can't remember them...hmm...was xLIB ever featured...?
