1. Finally, after months of arrangement and searching and hoping and, well,
you get the picture, iCE Advertisements has obtained a T1 connection for
our first UNIX box. What does this mean for you? A stable, dedicated,
world-wide-web server and FTP server. The site will be the one-stop-shop
for iCE on the Internet. iCE would like to thank Novasys Interactive
for supplying the network space. Novasys Interactive is an internet
provider in the Northern NJ area 201. To reach Novasys Interactive,
call 201 267-4441. There are other local dialups available. Novasys is
also on the web at http://www.novasys.com.
2. Speaking of web pages, progress on the official iCE web page has been
made. In fact, during the month of April, the site will be opened to the
public! Wed like to congratulate Syntax Error, Devastator, Xten, and the
rest of the web team on their job well done!
3. To recap what youve just read, the new official internet sites of iCE
during this month will change to the following:
FTP packs, special packs, and apps: ftp.ice.org /pub
WWW the web page - packs here too!: http://www.ice.org
4. Wed like to extend a heartfelt apology to those on IRC we sent fake packs
to on April 1. We werent ready till a few days later, but Im sure they
all could use another copy of the shareware version of Ms. Pac-Man!
5. Friar Tuck, Syntax Error, and myself, along with the rest of the iCE team
would like to wish a sort of belated Happy Birthday to Lord Soth, BoA,
Highness, Digital Interface, and Greater Evil, who celebrated birthdays
in March.
6. iCE would like to welcome another large batch of new artists to the group!
In ANSI, we welcome Grendel, Grindstone, and Zarkon. In VGA, Shiva and
Stolen Faith join the happy family. Also, Lintec joins us as a member.
7. Friar Tuck announced his candidacy for President last week. He is running
on the Republican ticket. Tuck, who is no stranger to the public eye,
simply wants to get power in order to bomb small countries. When asked
about his somewhat controversial strong-military agenda, Friar simply said
Fire! Fire! Yeah Yeah! Fire! Its really gonna happen! over and over...
8. Rumor has it that Mass Delusion has missed the train to Mars, so hes been
hanging out behind iCE Headquarters counting stars. All attempts to
communicate have failed to this point. Electro-shock therapy begins on
Monday.
9. The Senior Staff of iCE hereby apologizes to Kabal 13 aka the FREAK!!!!!
and Obsidian for accidentally leaving them off of the memberlist. It was
unintentional.
10. You may or may not have noticed LS-TIPS.ICE in the ANSI section of this
pack. This Lord Soth release is not typical in fact, its one of a very
few of its kind, and one of the we think even fewer accurate and
helpful. So what is it? Its the first in a series of tutorials designed
to help the art community learn about and/or improve upon basic thru
advanced computer art techniques. Look for more tips from iCE in future
iCEPacks!
11. In an event that proved the effectiveness of cryogenics, Tempus Thales
contributed to this months pack! While his much-anticipated full ANSI is
still a pack or two away, Mr. Thales was unfrozen long enough to work on
a couple of ANSIs with Corpulent Cow. Will wonders never cease?
12. Speaking of Tempus Thales, his board, Sanctuary iCE World Headquarters,
will be down for a temporary period of time during the month of April.
His roommate has a long-distance addiction, and spent way too much time
phoning the deuce in Australia.
13. This month iCE has released Neurotics retirement ANSI. A former member
of the group, Neurotic has been one of the scenes more prolific artists
during his tenure. Neurotic was most recently with Legend, but rejoined
to release his final work. After this month, Neurotic will become
inactive, and we can only hope that he will come out of retirement one
day in the future. Good luck, Neurotic, and good-bye.
13. Toon Goon a.k.a. Jae has stepped down as co-coordinator of the ANSI
department. Lemonade is now the sole coordinator of the ANSI department.
14. Greater Evil has been promoted to coordinator of the Coding department.
Ever since joining iCE, hes been a constant contributor to iCE projects.
Congratulations, Bob!
15. In keeping with the spirit of family cooperation, iCE proudly announces
the iCE Healthcare Package, our internal health care and information
service. iHP, as we call it, is automatically available to all iCE
members active or inactive. Dr. Syntax Error heads up this groundbreaking
new section of iCE!
16. Let it be known that Force Ten, maker of this pack and info file, now has
a full head of beautiful grey hair. Poor guys getting old, and has been
saying things like back in my day... quite often. . .
17. Another great pack from a great group of artists who are also a great
group of friends. Extra special thanks to Snake Grunger, Lemonade, Syntax
Error, and Tempus Thales for their hard work in the waning hours of the
pack release. Congratulations to everyone who contributed this month!
See you in April!
