Time for an update. It has been a while since last time.
Lots of stuff is happening right now but not with Emumiga for the moment.
I’m quitting my current job during the week to come. Because of this I’ve had lots to do for the last couple of weeks, finishing projects, educating colleagues and documenting stuff.
Working on an ISP have had some great benefits, like free co-location hosting, but that is to an end now. So right now I’m moving my working server to another place. Emumiga.com may go down for a few hours during the coming week when I do the final transfer of the site.

No time and energy left over for Emumiga during the latest weeks unfortunately.
But I will continue again when things are settled.

I’ve pretty much decided to take a shot at C++. A cross compiled G++ is included in the AROS contrib bundle.
I will avoid certain things in C++ that are not really suitable for being used in libraries like exceptions, and I’m not very fond of template metaprogramming so I’ll try to avoid that too.
I will also build a code generator for setting up templates for system objects. I simply can’t continue making these by hand, it will take ages to get anywhere.

PS. Sound IS working with Linux hosted AROS. You have to have support for OSS in the kernel. I only had ALSA and made a false assumption. Forget what I wrote last time. Sad to say, something is still not working with the alarm in Clock. It continues to be all silent :-(
