A jouney to enlightenment.

Greetings Marlon,

No offence taken. If you like to know the whole story/history of Commodore or Amiga, you may want to visit this site:

http://www.amigau.com
http://commodorebillboard.com

The Amiga story has a lots of ups and downs to name a few, here a bit of a story:

After Commodore went bankrupt, there was ESCOM. ESCOM went bankrupt too cause they had to sholder all Commodore debts. Then after ESCOM was GATEWAY(not the mall here in Cubao;-P) Inc.After Gateway could not handle the pressure brought by the demands of much of the users now AMIGA Inc. Who later gave the rights to upgrade the new OS OS4 to Hyperion. While all hell breaks loose at AMiga inc, They sold the rights now to KMOS Inc.

All of these are just tid bits you'll read from Amiga University. Go there now and find the link the History in chronological order. You'll see the humble beginnings of the 'Lorrain' Project to Amiga OS4 and some screen shots.
The commodore billboard site has all the archives of the marketing materials from Commodore.

Hope you'll continue the journey to enlightment. But the best to know Amiga is to REALLY own one. Not the Emulator. It's still different. Although, in term of advancement, I still find the classics better than the emulated version(WINUAE).
Hopefully, the next generation Amigas will do fill-in the gap where the classics left off. Someday... only time could tell.

-edit-
Gosh, I can't post a comment from my own, so I decided to create a new blog specially for you. Thanks again for the comments Marlon.

Missing Program :-(

Greetings,

I has to come to my attention that my version 5.27a is really missing. Thus, I'm unable to modify or update the present version anymore. At least I manage to save the earlier version prior to version 5.27. Anyway, on with the show and if there are any updates for it the better. I'll might as well upload the *only version of it. Unless I go back to my college and find the remains of source disk I left a copy there. If I recall It's still in amiga format. But I doubt I can still find it too. The Amiga formatted disk is really unstable over time, sometimes.

Anyway, during the weekend I manage to continue doing my Emaminer.amos program. I'm doing a mini-editor routine and will continue to do so. DOH!! I didn't bring the updated version at home. Anyway, I'll just recreate it here in the office again. ;-)
Hoping for a not so busy day today.

BTW, It was my girlfriend's day-off and also I had to fix the car from my dad's friend cause he knows so much about cars and stuff all day yesterday. There were oli leaking from... I don't know where the hell it came from :-?. Well, thanks to him the car is ok.

*Hey Marvin! I thought you're going to post your follow up message. Post it soon as you get a hold off a PC somewhere.

Missing Program :-o

Greetings,

I'm now in the progress of checking the remains of my once collection of amos data disk to find in the ruble all the remains of my last updated version of the porgram I design, "Super Fantasy Fighter.", all I found ATM are the Disk Version(my down sized version) of the program but the source code is missing and all the other modification I already made. The last time I've seen them was on my *old HD cap120MB. But that HD was long dead back in 2000, probably. I was looking also the disk back-up of it, if it still here.
Man, I don't care if its filled with fungus and dirt, as long as I find it soon.

So much I have changed it since version 5.27b.

Everything's going as expected! PERFECT! ;-)

Greetings,

As mentioned, everythings is perfectly in tune. I'd finally blogging from the confort of my own home. You see before, when my girlfriend still has no job yet, I need to keep her company MOST of the time or she'll go balistic! Now that she's working, I can freely use the computer as I please from 1pm till 8:30pm. What a very looong time(7 hours). Uninterupted time with my Amiga and me. During the week days, just an hour or less at times. No, this is not a rant cause everything's just I predicted. Diaboloical me. >:-)

Anyway, it's short lived cause I'll be going to fix the car tomorow, though. So my time would be spent outside home. :-(

While I saver the moment I would like to pat myself at the back for now. >pat< >pat<

Whooooooooohooooo! yeeeeehaaaaaa!

Tired after all the work... 8-\

Greetings,

I've finally finished the new presentation my boss told me to do. He just left for a client, leaving me alone again, which is good BTW, but, tired. My eyes need some rest. Don't even know If I can continue my Amos. Well I'm blogging at the moment. he he.. well I could use a rest for a minute or two.

At least I finally got my 13th month pay and I hope to clear-up as much debt as possible with so little. I see need to clear a few credit cards so I could just get rid of those soon as I'm fully paid. Grrrr...

Hmm planning to buy some more blank CD for back-up both office files and Home files.

Anyway, soon as I get enough stress out, I'll fire up AMosPro to continue it. ;-)

Another Fine Day

Greetings,

Things are not so bad today. Well, almost. There is the Nation Wide Transport Strike today. Stranding thousands of commuters. However it may look bad later the day, I'm sure things will be fine after this. I was able to get to work on time. My boss didn't came to work today cause he lives far from our workoplace.

At present, I'm doing my Program while blogging. Gosh so much in my mind so little time. Yet, I'm savoring every moment of enjoyment! :-) I feel like a 10 year old! ;-)

Marvin made a comment today and here's my opportunity to thank him for his message. Wish there are more than just one comments tough and looking forward for more. You can post anonymously as long as You state your name on the end of the post. If you got some question on WinUAE and AmosPro in particular, I'm open for it.

A perfect Wednesday.

Greetings,

Today, the office network was back on-line again after a long time of struggle. Finally, It's fixed.
To add to the list, my boss is half-day today and after timing-in, he again left for a client call. Leaving me again here alone in the office free to do a few things. Like, download some Mobile software upgrades. Hmm, I found a C64 emulator for the N6600 called Frodo. I'll give it a try soon. :-) I also downloaded a few themes like Spiderman2 themes. It looks nice.
Finally to add to the list for a perfect Wednesday, my girlfriend finally got a new job. I'm so happy that she finally has it. Giving me more time out for my programming at home, finally. :-)

For now I'll just browse in on AmosPro and start doing what I need to do. Right now, I have to ideas, but I hope something will come out. Till next Blog.

Trouble on the network again!?! Argh!

Greetings,

The Office Network seems to be under attack.
It interminttently disconnecting itself from
the internet, causing delay laps on the
network.

So since I need to check some of my programs
in AMOSPro, I can seem to run test it cause
I'm a bit uncomfortable about running games
in the office. :-(

Well It's Friday again tomorrow but I have
done anything all this week cause I'm busy
downloading files and materials for the office
presentation I was setting. I just hope I'll
be free tomorrow till Monday. Hmmmm.

Dejavu, all over Again!

Greeings,

After Reading about the sad news on MOS makes me feel the same with all the other community. But what's important now is to move on and see what's future in store for the remaining community(in general). The Amiga/MOS community has suffered long enough already. Even if the people behind MOS would get paid in full, the wound already inflicted here is deep. All I can say here that these people would loose faith in the platform/community and eventually quit, in the long run. All they will hold are grudges and bad sentiments over issues that conspired to this event.
Dejavu. I don't want to comment further about the current situation. I'm only hoping that this will be resolve soon enough. Sad sad day. :-(

I'm full of hopes.

Greetings,

Today, I called to my loan angency, if my
cheque is already available for pick-up. It's
ready for pick-up anytime today. I'm planning
to get it today, hopfully to deposite the
funds. But, at the moment, my boss is away and
no one here is left to man the department.
I also SMS my friend Marlon to check him
out, yesterday. He answered a bit late
yesterday so I replyed today. I found out that
he has a part time job that his folks don't
know. My advice to you, Marlon, let them know
and apporve it, whether they want to or not.
If you still want the job, It's best that
someone else know about it other than his
folks. Like a girl friend, or our master. :-D
I have a bit of a squeeze here all of the
sudden. I'll probably BLOG that tomorrow.

Problems here and Politics there!

Greetings,

Yesterday, I was unable to blog due to the
office network is starting to sever again and
again. Since I'm not that busy with a lot of
work, I decided to check on my favorite game
i'm designing right now, using AMOSPro,
'NETWORRIOR'. I'm still trying to re-call all
varialbles and how the game runs. It was last
update, maybe back in 2000. Wow, quite a long
time. Now, I'm getting getting it back in
circulation since it's almost identical to my
cardgame i'm designing. Cause the idea was..
maybe I wont discuss the idea here in Blog.
Maybe after I've finished the game.
Today, I've visited my lang-out site, Amiga.Org
only find out, they'd been through a lot of
problems themselves. Any post after Oct 9 was
forever losts. Good thing I never posted as
much back then cause the issue was, often at
CH(coffee house), is politics. Man, I don't
know, but I never like politics. I get so
irritated and annoyed from the 'Noise' it
'resonate' from the discussions and posts. I
don't often posts anything on Politics thread.
I did that once. The topic was about the
possible civilwar if there was failure of
elections. I guess that's not gonna happen
because Bush won anyway. The Votes was almost
a 50-50 side. Hmmm, make me wonder It could end
up like that. Now that it's over. Actual votes
ended 51-49. Quite close there. Anyway, so much
for politics. Local politics here is much noisier
and unrully. I commend US election for a fast
result tally. Unlike here, I took alsomst a
month just to count. Till next BLOG!

A visit from a friend, Soon.

Greetings,

It has been a busy week. Now weekend is fast
approching. Bush is STILL the president of US.
I'm still alive and kicking. Just this morning
I SMS Mr Ross. I ask if he could come this
weekend. Well, unfortunately he also busy with
tons of work as well. :-( too bad. I told him
I'd offer him the 2 monochrome monitor that I
still have, hoping to get rid of soon. They
still work BTW, but needs a few maintenance. I
am sure he'll be please to see it and my place
soon. Too bad my dad's not around anymore to
know them, well at lease he knew Mr. Ross.

I also hope that Marlon would also come soon.
I'll be looking forward to meet him personally
too. I want to show how nice WinUAE and the
Amiga, in general is. Specailly running under
WineDOH!s XP.

Vacation Hang overs. *sigh

Greetings,

BTW, Belated Happy Holloween to all. Alas! I'm suffering from, mostly called, the
weekend-vacation-hang-over. Monday is a national holiday, still I could not feel the
reset I want. I was able to talk with my girlfriend. A sweet and intimate talk, I
might add. :-D

Well,the week is over and work starts off again, but I intend to make it productive
in a way. I lost my certification and company ID last year from theives. I was
thniking I'd get my afidavit of loss today. I hope this week would be free for now
till the end of Ramadan on the 15'th this month. Well, another holiday. I miss
doing a little Amos programming. :-(

On the Amiga side, I also backed-up my Harddisk at home so I can recopy/update it
again here at the office partition. Hope everything goes to plan for the rest of the
week for me. :-D

Gizz72
