okay, so I'll start blogging about amigas now
« on: July 14, 2012, 06:33:14 AM »
Since I dont have a linux machine, blogging about linux gaming is probably going to come up short.

So I figure I'll throw that effort behind some amiga blogging (classic and MOS, since thats what I have access to).

only a stupid intro post so far, but we'll see where it goes. Suggestions are of course quite welcome.

As an aside, a short post today about why amiga's are still interesting, or at least one theory on such.

I got both (I think) off amibay, but yeah, it's pretty much all second hand.

I am surprised with all the other widgets and adapters people have come up with, that nobody is producing a small run of these.

hrm, I dont know if there's a way around that. Blogger is pretty "bloated" with things. I mostly figure if it renders in OWB it should render anywhere.

Couple of posts, one is a retrospective on the A1000, and another a brief review of sorts of the ACA 030 card I own. Not a lot of MOS stuff yet, but we'll see :) I got some things waiting

haha, thanks. I'll correct :)

Since MorphOS is my main computer now, I am hoping to do a quick rundown of how to get by day-to-day. Maybe tonight or this weekend.

I'll need to get a hold of a copy. I'm a big Roguelike RPG fan, so I was excited to see it's possible to play Dungeon Crawl stone soup on MOS, through the online server


As an aside, today, A2000 retrospective and I'll hope to get the 500 up there too!

A couple new posts. As an aside, if any of you lot want to pitch in and help, Blogger permits multiple authors for one blog. Shoot me a PM. It'd be cool to have something with a fair bit of traffic.

edit: Also, if one of you had a comment accidentally deleted, I completely apologize. It looked like two identical comments but when I deleted one, it deleted both. Or maybe I just am getting stupid with age. In any event, sorry!

Sorry to hear that. Maybe some other time!

I didn't think about the google account requirement, so I disabled it.
