Improve MPlayer for OS4.
Learn how to do video editing on Blender.
Code as much as possible.
Do some chip modules.
Change the case of my A1.
Once USB 2.0 support is out, buy a supported USB PCI card and a good audio card to replace my Soundblaster.

I really have to find the time to do some coding. I got a little stuck during 2010 on a couple of my projects, and ended up sort of abandoning them until now. But it's been bugging me, so I need to get some motivation, sit down and figure out what the problems are and release some applications :)

Top of the list is AmiTunes :)

Save up and send off the prizes for the first Festive Games Competition.
Finish up and organise the prizes to be sent off for the second Festive Games Competition.
Send off my broken CD32, A1200, A600, A2000, and A500 motherboards to AmigaManiac for repairs.
Set up a new forum for Amiga projects where developers, artists, musicians and other creative Amiga users can work on new programs, games, hardware and ideas without distractions.
On this new forum, host all of the current projects I'm working on including two Workbench distributions, several games, programs and hardware expansions.
Make more of an effort to bring together the international Amiga community to share their ideas and help turn them into reality.
Start publishing my original online comic series that I've been developing for years.
Begin work on the ultimate open-source Amiga game maker program capable of producing my dream game.
Finish my simple Quiz Game Maker (working title :p)
Release a few small programs I've been working on for inclusion with the Workbench distribution I'm helping with.
Bundle a few spare fully refurbished Amigas with plenty of cool software and a few useful hardware expansions and sell or give them away to people who will enjoy using them.
Help redesign the Aros mascot Kitty and flesh out her character enough for her to be used in some Aros games, and design her perfect kart for Super Tux Kart.
Get some girls together and dress up as a bunch of Amiga game characters for a calendar and wallpaper collection.
Make a boot disk for the A600 to automatically go online through the serial cable to the PC with IRC, MUD and Telnet clients ready to use.
Build an arcade cabinet with an Amiga inside. Possibly a cocktail cabinet for Deluxe Galaga among others and a 2-player Stunt Car Racer cabinet.
Plenty of other stuff too :D


Holy crap.

Even though I'm deployed and left my miggie home, I'm planning to take a crack at Backbone on Amiga Forever.

I'd really, really *REALLY* like to finally sit down and enjoy some of this stuff I've collected and refurbished. Need to become more disciplined when it comes to that. Always seem to be working, on the internet and still buying/selling/trading and time is going by much faster than I wish it would. I've built 1-1/2 rooms full of classic gaming and computing - yet it just sits here for the most part. Seriously need to get my adult ADHD under control. lmao

Would really like to sink my teeth into stuff like DCTV, video and paint programs some more. Maybe even re-hook a printer to an Amiga or C64 to use as a mailing label depot for the goodies I sell and trade. I've got a nice 9-pin here as well as a color Okimate 10 with the C64 adapter. Which reminds me... I "need" the adapter for standard Centronics if anyone has one...  

Be nice to also sit and play a game. Any game, for more than a few minutes at a time. I hear Dune II calling me often. lol  

One of these days, one of *these* days!   :)

I put an A500 mobo in an arcade cabinet once, wired it to the JAMMA connector.  I still needed the keyboard and mouse for a few things but it was pretty good. Lots of Amiga games "feel" like arcade games too.  

It was worth doing just to play Speedball2 in 2 player mode, good way to really thrash some joysticks.

We had a try at the Amiga on a PCI card. Next up the Amiga on a USB stick. :roflmao:
(Does not mean AROS on a USB stick, which is very cool though).
After a decade or two... Amiga in a brain implant, with wi-fi and bio rechargable battery.

I resolve to learn Blender! I've made several false starts at it with my Sam and AOS4 in 2010, but in 2011 it's time I stop collecting programs and tinkering with hardware and OS settings and actually do something creative with this fun stuff.


Amen!  For me it's learning Lightwave one the Amiga.  Then actually FINISH a full animation (either in DPAINT or Lightwave or Aladdin 4d) from start to finish.  I have more Amiga stuff and software than I ever had, but for some reason I get LESS done than when I had fewer things to play with.  With all the software and gear I have, I spend all my time tinkering and tweaking things rather than getting stuff done!
