Amiwest has come and gone for another year and I’m now back in the New Zealand as the Southern hemisphere heads towards Christmas. I don’t think my Northern hemisphere imprinted brain will ever come to terms with “winter” being summer time down under. 😉 As several other attendees have already have posted excellent blogs I… Continue reading You’re not on the list!

I can’t believe we are only a couple of weeks away from another Amiwest show. It seems like only yesterday I was packing my red suitcase for my now annual pilgrimage to Sacramento. A lot has happened in the past year both in the Amiga world and my personal life. My youngest daughter got married… Continue reading eXperience

It’s been a while since I posted to my blog, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been very busy over the past six weeks. Sadly, and contrary to popular belief, I do have a life and interests outside the Amiga realm. Although I’ve not had much time to try out the latest versions of MorphOS… Continue reading Radiant

While not quite Homer’s Odyssey, Roman Kargin (kas1e) has released his own version of the Odyssey for AmigaOS4.1. Unlike Homer’s epic Greek poem, Odyssey v1.23 is a relatively lightweight r155188 WebKit based browser which brings Javascript, CSS, DOM, SVG, Unicode, SSL and HTML5 Video/Audio support to AmigaOS4. Based on the source code released by Fabien… Continue reading Each man delights ……

“You will be assimilated, resistance is futile” or so says the Borg Queen in Star Trek, one of my all-time favourite Sci-Fi TV shows. I’ve always thought that Star Trek had such interesting and well rounded characters like Deanna Troi, Seven of Nine, the Vulcan T’pol and of course the Borg Queen herself. Hmmm, do… Continue reading Designation unknown?

As we come to the end of another year in Amigaland it’s a time to reflect on the past 12 months and look forward to what the new year will bring. My recent visit to Pianeta Amiga has reinforced my believe that a new spirit of cooperation and understanding is slowly beginning to flourish and… Continue reading Auld Lang Syne

I’m now back home to Summer in New Zealand, complete with a Northern hemisphere cold (sniff!), following my flying visit to Pianeta Amiga, which was held in a rather chilly Bologna in Northern Italy. Nevertheless the Pianeta Amiga show was a fun affair, even though the attendance was quite small compared to previous years. That… Continue reading Christmas Cheer

With the dust finally settling on AmiWest for another year the Amiga community now turns it focus to Italy’s annual Pianeta Amiga show which this year is being held in the historical city of Bologna, an important cultural, economic and political centre in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy. Pianeta is Italy’s premier Amiga show… Continue reading Forza Amiga

Another year, another AmiWest show on the horizon. I’m just finishing off my presentation for this year’s show and helping to finalise the A-EON Technology News Releases, which have become a regular feature of the AmiWest show in recent times. This year we will be announcing details about several of the exciting developments we have… Continue reading Just Breezin!

I’m now safely back in New Zealand following my whistle stop tour to Canada to attend the AmiJAM 2013 Amiga show in Calgary. It’s almost 30 years since my last visit and the city has changed over the intervening years. It’s population has continued to grow and now exceeds 1 million making it Canada’s third… Continue reading Running AMUC in Calgary
