Short blog post today, but I am glad to say that my Amiga30 Kickstarter supporter stuff arrived in the post today from the USA. :-)

I realise that the Amiga30 show was some time ago - July in fact!

Part 2 – The Great Console Rewrite

Hi everyone,

Here’s the runner-up in the Amiga demo competition at the Assembly 2015 demo party in Finland. It is called Master Control Program and was made by Desire. It’s a very good demo and I enjoyed watching it. Please have a look below:

Hi all,

The well known Amiga enthusiast Ravi Abbott has released an interview he did with the Amiga-legend RJ Mical today. Check it out below. :)

Part 1 – The Ascent from Assembler to C

Last night (September 29) a close friend of mine, Mark Thompson passed away. He is known in the Amiga scene by his demo scene handle Axon of The Experience, a Classic Amiga demo group I formed in the late 1990's in Adelaide during our university days. We wrote 2 AGA demos and Mark wrote another separate intro in Assembler for Amiga 1200/030 systems.

Today I wanted to take a look at Hollywood 6.0 on AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition on my X1000, which was released in 2015. I will also take a look at the updated Hollywood Plugin for Cubic IDE and a quick look at FastView as well!

It's the start of a brand new week, and details of a new Amiga game have just surfaced.

Here's English Amiga Board member amiman99 with the details;

So after looking at the high priced real HP logic analyzer cart that didn’t look that great to me, I decided to build my own incorporating a ton of features that just really makes my life easier. This is optimized for use over cost.

Today I am taking a look at the recently released game called AmiCraft (in Beta 3 form) for AmigaOS 4.1 on my X1000.

Things have been pretty quiet in the Amiga games scene over the past few weeks, but thankfully I now have something to report!

This weekend I was busy reconstructing my computer room desk area after pulling it apart for the Adelaide Amiga meeting on Monday. With my X1000 now returned, and the addition of the Icaros setup on the Core i7 PC, CDTV and a Sam460CR, I needed to find a way to fit them into a small space.

So, it appears that AROS has taken the lead when it come to web browser technologies. A developer named deadwood announced at the beginning of September 2015 that he’d completed over a year’s worth of work to get the Origyn web browser updated with a very new version of webkit (from May 2015). This currently puts it at over a year ahead of MorphOS and AmigaOS4.1.
