2/5/2026: Next in line...

I was next in line to get seriously fucking pissed off with the "AI"-look... So the cover for #7 has been changed. The old one was an actual photograph of a C64 on a generic Gemini-image, but now the crystal ball and the shelf is a photograph as well.

1/6/2026: www.lost-in-c-bits.com

New year, a new-ish "sort of"-issue, and a proper domain for the Zine - Link.

10/31/2025: Plan... C? (That becomes A?)

So the webhost has been paid for another year, but the space was running out. I decided to remove a bunch of the different downloads. There's really no need for them in modern times. A decade ago, it was a thing with less powerful smartphones compared to desktops and stuff, but... Not today. (PDFs still suck shit, though.)

LIC=B #7 is out way earlier than planned, and there is another "related" zine coming out in January. The fall has been pretty chill (At least compared to the clusterfuck that was 2024.), but it will most likely be another very busy winter and spring, i.e., I don't know much about #8-9 except: "They could come out in 2026. Maybe even both of them."

8/15/2025: Fall 2025...

Checked out Scribus 1.6.2. and just as I thought, it fucked up shit. It's 1985-- 2025, I mean, and software developers can't make software that's compatible with itself... LIC=B #6 will, against one or even two odds, come out on August 23rd... After that, all kinds of plans start to wobble a bit...

2/21/2025: OLD OLD SHITE...

Going through some old shite and swearing myself chronically ill over the fact that the layouts look even worse when loading up documents, that were created in the ancient Scribus 1.4.6., in v1.5.8... Maybe it's all "free software" for a reason. But this is also a good time to update some files, correct some of those endless amounts of typos, and stuff... Until the next version of Scribus fucks up the layout...! (LIC=B #4 was out before X-mas, and I guess #5 is on its way - Just like the spring...)

8/30/2024: LOST IN C=BITS - Issue 3...

It is done, and it is out.

4/29/2024: LOST IN C=BITS - Issue 2...

...released...

12/23/2023: LOST IN C=BITS - Issue 1 1/2...

"Making a Fanzine has to be fun." - That was always the first and basic condition, which was quite fragmented, diluted, and eventually lost as issue #1 was getting closer and closer to completion. A year plus and a couple of detours later, there has been enough time to evaluate everything. The planned "2023"-book was "sort of" finished, but had to be put on hold "for a while" for various reasons. It was also time to get out of the dead end and back to the basics - The Zine. In proper format. Within realistic goals, and by following a real plan.

You can download Issue #1 1/2 from this page...
