Has everyone gone on holiday?  Or have you all stopped caring about Amiga stuff anymore?

It was only to be expected I suppose.

Karlos? Fade? Wilse? Glaucus? et al.....

Maybe SPRING!!!

Sure is nice around here.

Then there's work!!!!! Gah! Too much of that.

Plenty of world news that it's getting too hard to keep up with.

And there's a wee touch of burnout, I suppose.
Oh, and the uA1 takes up too much of my time. Lots of playing and fiddling to be done. Really cuts into the web time.

I've been working really hard which has reduced my a.org time to a trickle.

Work is seriously busy thanks to payroll year end so I'm putting in all the hours I can to meet the 19th May deadline.  

In the meantime I'm having to deal with arsey managers, arsey clients and a workload that seems to multiply without much encouragement.

:-(

I've been a bit quieter recently, but I definately haven't lost interest in the Amiga scene!  I've just been spending more time programming and less surfing.

I must've been living in a box because I don't know what Xoops or whyzzat is  :-?

Time to have a google I think.

Xoops is the software package used to run Amiga.org and Whyzzat is a new 'coffeehouse/DMZ'-only forum site of Wayne :-).

Nah, just out getting banjoed, mate. ;-)
I've been to a few gigs, parties, clubs, etc, over the last week or so.
Off to another one tomorrow night. Mylo. Free ticket. Nice.

As they say in the 'Dam, let the good times roll.... :pint:

I know Karlos is very busy.

As for myself, I have too many things to do. Not that I was  too much of a regular here. I did have a few good laughs though.  :-D

Real life catches up. For me the Amiga was a hobby. My interest has definately waned and I currently don't have time for any hobbies.

My A1 may no longer be mine anymore by the time OS4 is released. :-(

Sorry for the depressing read.

Hi!

Rumours of my demise are greatly exxagerated. However, the absenteeism is in line with a stupid increase in the amount of work at work and other responsibilities outside of it :-/

However, I am alive and well as is my A1200 collection. I wish I had some bloody time to work on them.

I shall try to pop in more frequently, it's p*ss poor form and I will be in danger of having to stand down as best damn-good-looking guy here at this rate :lol:

Have you tried unblocking the sock? That should get it free flowing again.

Well, my face is on there. I wonder how many deaths caused by people's CRTs exploding into their faces that has caused :-?

No wonder it has been quiet..
