Suddenly on Sunday July 20th (yesterday), my wife's mother died of a heart attack in Tokyo. I will have to pause all the blogs for a while while we grieve, travel to Japan, sort out funeral arrangements and attend.
Hopefully I will be back on deck soon. There is plenty of blog catch up reading from the last 2 years of entries in the meantime..
Today I wanted to take a quick look at the recently released TwittAmiga V4.0 Twitter Client by Oliver Urbann for AmigaOS4 on X1000.
I read on various Amiga forums about a rival floppy drive emulator for the HxC floppy, called the Gotek floppy drive emulator. It is in reality a Cortex board, but flashed with the right firmware it can be used as a cheap Amiga floppy drive emulator on the Amiga 600 - I found a seller on Ebay selling a pre-flashed Gotek Amiga package with accessories and quickly bought it!
Today I wanted to take a quick look at three webcam viewers for AmigaOS4.1 on the AmigaOne X1000 - Little Brother, Big Sister and AmiWebView 2!
Sorry for the delay in blog entries but I have been quite ill at home for the last few weeks. Anyway, enough of that - let's continue the build of the Amiga 600 CF Card AmigaOS3.1!
One of the interesting things I came across in the forums recently was people wondering what the titlebar icons in Directory Opus 5.9 listers are used for on the X1000.
Today I wanted to take a look at the recently released Fractals for Sketchblock for AmigaOS4 on the AmigaOne X1000.
Fractals for Sketchblock is written Andy "Broadblues" Broad.
It is amazing to consider that it has been just over two years since I received my "First contact" AmigaOne X1000 from AmigaKit. Has it been that long already?
I am the first to admit that I am not a programmer. But it is good to know that AmigaOS4 has many different ways to program applications for it in 2014. I wanted to draw attention to two of those options - Codebench and Hollywood.
This week we saw the release of the first upgrade of Directory Opus in over 14 years. Directory Opus 5.9 is now released for AmigaOS4 on os4depot.net, worked on by kas1e and various other team members over the past few years.
