| Preparing a net-meeting in WookieChat |
For many years ago, in early 2000s, i was an active freelance writer for the magazine AmigaGuiden, writing different Amiga articles in Norwegian. A job i simply loved, even that i did not earn anything on it, but done by will based on the hobby interest.
For 2 days ago, the leader of NAF (Norsk Amiga Forening) and the author of AmigaGuiden announced the magazine to be rebornt again, as well as revealing a "sister" magazine for the international readers, in english called Amiga Guide.

| The AmigaGuiden Magazine |
That's the main reason why i have installed the IRC program WookieChat for AmigaOS4, which works excellent on my AmigaOne 500 running AmigaOS 4.1.5! No, it's not the wookie Chewie, but the program we're talking about, hehe ;)
Well, most of the meetings with NAF happen through IRC, so using WookieChat is very useful for me to get information from these net-meetings, regarding news, suggestions and advices to articles i am going to work at for these 2 magazines. I'm NOT permissed to talk about my "pre-works" related to these magazines. You will have to read the finished published numbers. What i can say is that i have different articles to work on, so that is all you are going to know for now. Standard NDA procedure, you know.
Shortly put, i am very eager, motivated and happy to have this opportunity and it's an important turning-point for me in my life. An option to earn more money than i already do at present. 2013 will hopefully for me be a BETTER year!
In addition to have installed WookieChat successfully, i also managed to solve the annoying issue with the Finnish Locale Catalog for AmiUpdate (known as the AmiUpdate_Finnish update). I incorrectly thought that the locale catalog was to be in Locate:Catalogs where all the other language catalogs for AmiUpdate have been moved to successfully, while the Finnish had to stay in AmiUpdate's own language catalogs, so Finnish catalog was moved into there, and when doing a new scan for updates in AmiUpdate, i could now see that the Finnish locale catalog update did NOT keep coming back! Solution was solved! Yeah!
Otherwise i improved the look of some icons for AmigaAMP and WookieChat to match the look of the standard OS4 icons of AmigaOS 4.1, as well as putting the main WookieChat run file in AmiDock along with my other Internet applications, and made a new backup so that nothing is missing. All in all, i'm very happy ;)
Well, i guess this ends yet another blog for now, and for the next blog coming soon, i might even have a nice surprise in form of a video presentation, as an addition to watching the pictures and reading the blog, of course. Stay tuned!
Thank you for reading ;) See you in the future ;)
