shuffle newsletter February 2007

Magnus · 2nd February 2007, 22:28

With almost two hours to spare we made it

. There are a couple of things that we didn't get fixed in time, and we apologize about that, and hope to do better in March.

The main problem is margins. We designed it for "real" printing, where you can print over all the page without margins. That's of course not how most of you would print it, so you may find that the margins on your printer won't print. In some drivers and printing software there are ways of zooming the print, that's something you can then to minimize this problem. For next issue we'll have taken that into account.

Also on page 29 there's a URL that is supposed to be a button that opens a web page. It doesn't seem to work (for me at least) so you may just have to copy the URL and place it in your web browser.

I've checked it in Acrobat Reader and Preview and it seems to work fine in both.

Next one will be out on March 2, 2007.

Thank you everyone who contributed!

Wonderful thanks for your effort Latifa and EmiratesMac. For someone like me who reads Shuffle off the screen I find the layout very nice and plenty of effort placed into it. I have no issues with margins since I don't print it.

Good job everyone.

Thanks right back at you Zaid, and Latifa, MJ, Yasir, Crystal, and MacUAE (I didn't forget anyone did I?). This is a major undertaking of a group our size and I hope that our members and others like shuffle.

I think with Latifa's improvements to the layout and design, and better content, we stand a good chance at attracting some sponsorship so we can print shuffle.

This is our fourth issue and they've all been out on time, so we've shown we can deliver

Well this is my first post in emiratesmac and first of all I'd like to say: Thank you!

I'm glad you liked it. This is the first "real" thing I get the chance to work with in the real world. Thank you for giving me the opportunity and I hope we fix all the glitches in time for the next issue.

I hope this newsletter does turn into a magazine in the future and your dream comes true Emiratesmac

I guess it's safe to clarify then that Latifa is "Digirebelle"

MacUAE · 3rd February 2007, 01:18

Great work everybody

Might I add Digirebelle that your work is nothing short of amazing...
