Celebrations

June 19th, 2010 by Moggen

Bring forward the sparkling wine, this is a day to celebrate!

Our crown princess Victoria is marrying her fiancé Daniel today. This will be celebrated all day here in Sweden. The royal family is very popular here. I wish them all luck, although I’m actually a republican myself.

Amiga celebrates 25 years soon! It is almost unbelievable. It has been 20 years since I got my first A1000. Amiga is still alive, it simply won’t die. Cheers for that!

And one thing more to celebrate: This is also Emumiga’s birthday as a real open-source project! Download the code and/or binaries in the download section. Enter your flames and feedback into the forum.

Working gadgets, and almost sound

June 14th, 2010 by Moggen

I’m back from Greece with new energy.
Got the gadgets to work!

The alarm can be set now, and when the set time is reached it tries to sound an alarm.
Clock opens up audio.device but it does not seem to work in my AROS environment. I don’t seem to have any audio at all in my hosted linux test system. I guess I have to get this going first. I hope that the AROS audio.device is compatible and can play 8 bit sounds straight off.
OpenDevice() returns -1, but Clock checks this and just continue to run.

There is still some work left before Clock is running 100%. I have promised to release code this month and this is still valid. I will probably run out of time (the irony..), but I think I have already reached a satisfying completeness for this first showcase. Code release is very near now.

Vacation week

I’m on a short vacation to Greece for this week, so there is not much to report.
I made some more gadget support work just before I left but nothing visible.
