A lot of people have had links to this (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/christopher.sheffield/positivity.html) in their sigs - nice idea IMHO. Unfortunately the site's down and that_punk_guy appears to have disappeared (I should visit these parts more...) so I've stuck on a copy here (http://www.amigacentre.co.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Positivity_For_Amiga). If that_punk_guy happens to be browsing and wants it removed, please (p)email me :-)
---edit---
Just realised that I'm nearing my bandwidth limit. Don't be too positive, people :lol:
-
It seems that the positivity in Amiga community has reached a very satisfactory level, thus no need for the page anymore. ;-)

I'm positive (hee hee) that chris would approve :-D
as a reward for positivity, here's some nice wallpapers (http://www.xmwallpapers.com/)
-
Crrringeworthy, but it's fine by me. :-)
How come NoFastMem lives? Didn't the passwords get reset?
-
No. Dont know why.
-
Oi! Y'r still here! Coolness :-).
-
Cool by me. How come NoFastMem lives? Didn't the passwords get reset?
-
Oh, that's embarrassing. I went Mac and I'm sitting outside the library freezing my balls off for the free wireless. Haven't quite got the hang of it all yet and I thought my first post hadn't... posted. ;-)

@Cecilia:
One of those nice wallpapers reminds me of a game. Can you guess which? Click here. (http://www.xmwallpapers.com/wallpaper/landscape/imagepages/image122.htm)

@Cecilia
Hum, nice link....
@Lemonty
Dune?
or was it settlers?
-
@NoFastMem
Good to see that you're still around - you can never escape from A.org ;-)

As LinchpiN said, they never got reset. Hardly anyone could be bothered to set a valid e-mail IIRC, though that's all history now...
-
@Blobrana:
Try the 'It Came From the Desert' title screen?
-
PUNKIE! Good to see ya! :banana:
How are things?
-
Couple of nice Tenchi Muyo wallpapers there ... god, I'm terminally geek!
:-D
-
Okay. :-) I deliberately obfuscated my old account details when I "left" and I think it's unrecoverable. So I'm NoFastMem now, I guess. I went to Lawrence, Kansas but not for as long as I'd hoped 'cause dogs need a rabies jab six months before they return to the UK, which would mean getting a visa were I to go straight away... So I had to leave him behind in kennels which severely limited the amount of time I could be away. Also, my friend Shannon is moving back to California. If I'd got over sooner things would have been okay.
I got a flat in Scarborough and set my heart on becoming Anne Bronte. Minus the tuberculosis.

I always prefered NoFastMem anyway... I never liked that_punk_guy ;-)

@NoFastMem
Welcome back to the asylum, old friend :-D
-
Welcome back TPG/NFM :-)
-
Hey Yo!
Welcome back punkie! Wain and Cecilia has missed you! ;-)
Regards,
-
Oh. Welcome back from me too! :-D

Of course, what it amounted to was that about 70% of the members hadn't logged on in 200 days or more, so they wouldn't have seen the password reset warning, and that there was in my opinion a very strong correlation between not logging on and not posting. Wayne feared that he would have to reset about 1000 passwords manually: I think that that is a gross overestimate. I presented my argument here (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14326) (second-to-last contribution to the discussion) but unfortunately it never got a reply. But in the end, yes, the thing is entirely academic now.
-
I'm surprised no one's given you a :hug: yet... oh wait, there's only a knuddel and you aren't getting *that* from me :-D
Good to see you back, now just don't leave again :griping: :-P
*cranks up "who's that" to welcome tpg back :-D
--edit--
So how is the cheeky monkey then? :-D
-
You went mac? I think you should change to FastMemFirst in that case... :-p
-
Punkie! :knuddel: :cry:

@That Punk Guy:
I was halfway through this thread before I realised NoFastMem was you.
Good to see you back mate.
FWIW, I'm in the process of going iBook too, although I'll keep all my "Amigas". (2xA1200, A1 & Peg)
-
:-) :-)
GarageBand is a lot of fun to play around with. :-) I'll upload something as soon as I get DSL here.
Thanks for all the welcome-backs. :-) Sorry I'm still kinda in-and-out at the moment but I think I'll be returning more regularly soon. :-D
*thinks aloud: Is that a good thing?*
;-)
-
@TPG
I've tinkered with that at work (ahem, er not that I should be) but I can't for the life of me seem to actually do anything with it :lol:
I suppose I'm way too long in the tooth and dependent on OctaMED Soundstudio to learn how to use new music software :-D
-

Like you even have to ask ;-)

my brother has made a couple of songs using that. I was over at his place a few weeks ago while he monkeyed with it. it's amazing!
(makes me wish i had an iBook - except i'm not talented like my brother is).
I think there's a link online with his songs and i'll ask him if he minds me letting you fellas hear them.
-
One thing I haven't seen anyone ask (probably my eyes missing things completely again :roll: :-P)...
How's Dale? You said he was in the kennels for a wee while when you were away, how did he react when he saw you again?
Hope he is well enough to chase some :kitty: about ;-)

It's a lot easier with a MIDI controller, if you're more into software instruments and stuff. They sell M-Audio keyboards at most Apple stores for about £50, probably cheaper elsewhere. But it's really not up to much as a sequencer and the way it works is rather idiosyncratic so it's worth reading the manual. I don't think it's something you'd want to use for serious work, though I did manage to make a good sounding rock song with just an acoustic guitar and the built-in mic. (Results soon...) :-)

He's doing great but unfortunately I have to find him a new home. I'm on my own now with no Becky to pop round and see him and he just gets so upset if he has to be left alone that it just doesn't seem fair to keep him anymore. It's a horrible situation whichever way I choose really, so I'm just trying to think of what's best for him. :-(
Christ, how do I follow that?
Punk sis might be moving up to Scotland. She was talking about Edinburgh 'cause we visited a couple of months ago but god knows what house/rent prices are like there.
-

Gah, that's a harsh one, I don't envy you in the least :-(

:cry:
Rent/Tax in Edinburgh is probably quite expensive. In Dundee it's not too bad, but then it is a crap place to live ;-)
-
I recommend Glasgow. Well I dont really it's {bleep} but i prefer it to everywhere else ive been. Especially Edinburgh.....
-
Edinburgh was nice until some Gouranga! guy with a scabby nose told us about an Englishman getting his face ripped off for daring to walk on Scottish soil. Then we felt nervous. ;-)
It's a good job I never did have the balls to shout "one more {bleep}ing hit!"
I kid, I kid.
PS. Mac users might want to steer clear of Tesco Broadband if they're hoping to make any use of the free modem. OS 10.4 drivers for which won't appear for a month or so... :pissed:
-
GarageBand fun!

I don't think it sounds bad at all considering it's just an acoustic guitar and the built in mic. ;-)
-
for when Chris comes back for a little visit:
my brother's (http://homepage.mac.com/adrianc3954/) music using GarageBand software.
-
At first I got:
Did not receive any response from application. It is possible that the application does not exist, or that the requested url is incorrect.
Then I got:
We're having trouble fulfilling your last request. Please return to the .Mac home page.
-
my bad!
I am a retard. :roll:
i think i fixed it.
