Elektor Electronics new website |
|
|
I just noticed that Elektor Electronics magazine have silently
uploaded a new website. I've not seeen all of it yet but it looks as
if they've finally managed to put their (occasionally brilliant)
articles online just as EPE have been doing over the past years. Not
sure how far back in time, though. Articles are available individally,
however, not the entire isuue as opposed to EPE. There's also a forum
and a bring & buy section. Still very few postings over there, I guess
that'll change when they properly announce the new site in the next
issue (I have the Feb 2005 edition).
There's also what looks like a rudimentary online shop.

At a steep price. First article I viewed, arbitrary choice, 'LED

(presumably full) PDF, for 1.00UKP (1.85USD)

Silicon Chip wants GBP 3.71 (about USD 7.00) to access one issue
online. I got a whole year of Circuit Cellar (PDFs delivered by
e-mail) for not much more than that.
Elektor wants (free) registration and agreement to get their
newsletter just to read news. Maybe someone will add their log-in to
bugmenot.com?

Why don't you add it? Something like username Bugmenot with PW of
bugmenot.
Me? I had a yr's subscription to Elektor USA and I didn't like the mag.
I'm glad it went tits up.

That happened 12 (!) years ago, and in the US only. UK and other
European readers seem to think differently as the mag is still around.

I am from the country Elektor/Elektuur originates from (Netherlands).
I must agree with both viewpoints. 40y ago Elektor was a very good
magazine, but it has lost most ofd its quality. But it is still one of
the few relatively good magazines left. Which says a lot about what is
available these days :(

Yeah, that was my big complaint: it was too European.

In what way?
There is the mains voltage difference, but most projects are low voltage.
Teletext and SCART are less common in the USA, but such projects are not
frequent. |

No Ivor Catt, pages of old f%$rt letters or Dickensian-style writers
in Elektor. Have a look at the QuizzAway pages in EE for some up to
date thought stimulation.

Thank f. for that.

So it's important to keep up a supply of copy from EEs.

I rang around quite a few magazines and the going rate seems between 80 to
100 UKP per page.
About a day's wages on average UK national salary of 24K?
I'd maybe write an article for the kudos or pocket money but I do know few
people can write a good technical article if a few hours. This concurs with
a post I read saying places pay very little for good technical copy. I guess
the writers are thus supporting the magazines in effect. |
