This weekend my friend Svenn Ove, been on visit, he has been working on some new logos for Excalibur.

Just for breaking the silence after a long time, I want to tell you, that I did not loose interest in AROS or uae. It's just "some" missing spare time ;). Nevertheless quite some stuff happened behind the curtain (and will stay there, until it is done).

I created a VMWare image with Ubuntu 10.04.3 to use for building OpenJDK 8.
With a clean Ubuntu install, including latest updates, I followed this guide: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/raw-file/tip/README
1. Installed mercurial
apt-get install mercurial

To show some progress I checked in a massive changeset into the SourceForge SVN that represents the implementation of the following features:

After my last JAmiga-hiatus, I am now trying to remember what I previously did, and what and I should do next. Looking at my own local classpath files, I am kind of confused over what I have done, which files have change, and what I haven't done. Meanwhile, the GNU Classpath has been released in version 0.99, which is somewhat a surprise to me, since I thought it was more or less abandoned in favour of OpenJDK.

Hey peepz,

Busy weeks those have been but I was around the usual forums checking around and testing new stuff.

The previous weeks were exciting cause Symplex (Lutz D.) created an pseudo RTG driver that uses Indivision ECS via Picasso96 RTG system for our beloved Amigas!
What started as a joke on 1st of April evolved pretty quickly into something really nice with great potential :)

The site has been down recently because I have moved the site (yet again) – this time to a laptop.  The laptop uses about 6 times less energy than the old desktop! About 15-25 watts vs well over 100 watts.

So enjoy the new “green” site! Some of the links are still broken and some of the images that were using the “File Gallery” plugin need to be re-done. – I will fix those asap.

The Algor USB controller has been added to the AmigaOS 4.1 Classic hardware compatibility list.  Thanks to Jürgen for the report!

The site has been up-and-down recently, and I am sorry about that.  I have moved to a new location under construction and there have been various issues (including my cable/internet line being cut!).

Those issues are resolved now and the connectivity will be more solid and I can update the site more often.

If you have any ideas of what you would like to see on this site please let me know.

Thank you!
