10 Years

It's been 10 years since I last posted how I missed this site and the people on it.

Hope they're all still doing well.

My life has changed a lot in the last ten years, I hope those years have been kind to you all :)

Chortle.. Real pain that someone hacked the server after all the trouble I went to keeping the site clean .. Still it is now back and the thousands of people who look at it each month no have something less rude to greet them.

Forums cleaned up, now the site too?

Ok so for awhile now I have been hoping that Mike might come back and carry on his great work with the site, after all it is darned cool. Sadly it seems unlikely so I have started sorting the whole site out. Today I have finally cleaned out all the annoying BOT accounts from the forum and wonder wha...

Bye Bye Vestas..

Well today I handed in my notice. Things have been going badly for me over the last couple of months with chest pains and general depression. So I snapped when my Boss only offered 3% of a payrise and nothing else. Be a shame to leave but I think I have made the right choice as I'm already feeling b...

Yes I sadly flashed my PSP to damned firmware 1.51 without thinking someone would hack version 1.50 so now I'm stuck with no homebrew stuff. :( Still could be worse.. I might have flashed it to 1.52!.. Still Untold Legends is pretty damn co...

Well what a couple of years eh? I took over this site for Kernal sometime ago because he had other projects eating into his time. And I never really have had time to make any updates or changes as I've been carted from place to place with little time to stop and take note. So anyway what have you al...

Making a demo?

Been thinking of making a demo for the C64 (just to relive those Compunet memories of the 80's). Anyone got any idea where I can find some apps for this? Need a cross assembler for the PC->C64 (perhaps one that works with an Emulator? although I have a few C64's ;) ). Also an arts package for making...

Might have to have a look at this as I plan on writting a C64 demo at the end of this month.. Just for a laugh you understand.. But thought I would get soe pictures and video of making a demo with Froodle (Hi rich) doing some of the GFX.

Cool bananas.
