To be honest, my christmas with my mother and only brother has mostly been about trying to recover from a cold virus infection that firstly appeared at the end of November 2012, lasting for 2 months! We didn't bother with looking for presents, so we gave each other money to spare until we have recovered, then buying what we want. My mother wants a new bed, and i am considering trying to get my living room modernized, removing more of my old furnitures like the old desk where my equipments are. My brother bought himself a nice wireless surround speakers for his HDTV just before he got ill himself.
Being ill is not really how i imagined celebrating christmas, but you have to take what you get and make the best of it. The good news however is that we are recovering as we have the medicines we need to help us remove the infection.
Therefore, as you would understand, not much has been done on my AmigaOne 500, except from a couple of updates. AmiUpdate is now updated to a fully working version 2.27, and a RTG library was updated, couple of MUI classes have been updated, along with the YAM Mailer version 2.8 i updated to. AmigaAMP again was updated to version 3.5 for the PPC OS4 native version. Still no Warp3D driver for the Radeon HD cards, but then again it's not the end of 2012 yet ;)
Speaking of 2012. Most people probably thought that 21th of December 2012 would be Judgement Day - End Of The World as we have known it, due to the Maya calender ending its' date at that day. People waited in curiousity and concern asking themselves: "What will happen now?". Guess what, NOTHING happened! We SURVIVED as there was NO Judgement Day! Great news, eh?
Yes, we are safe and will be for a long time still, but with a new beginning. A new and better understanding of our purposes on this planet, and a lesson to understand that we must take better care of each other and all the resources on our planet, never to destroy all lives created on our planet. To be a better human and to do what is expected from us. This i think, is our new philoposy.
The most visual change i have done to my AmigaOS 4.1.6 system, is to use a new background picture i found on the net. A beautiful luxrative bungalow on a tropical island - Paradise, as i would call it. Such a place is my dream, so who knows? Perhaps in a forseable future? Only time will tell.
For now, we should watch closely until end of 2012 for when the Warp3D driver will arrive? Perhaps even the Radeon HD driver will be updated even more?
This completes the short blog for now, as i am still doing my best to recover.
I wish everybody a very Happy Merry Christmas STILL! Have fun and stay with people you love. Create beautiful, honourable memories together.
See you soon :)
