Don't try to compare the time between the two. Flacapella uses cdparanoia, which will generally deliver on quality, where Ripper will just fail to read some CD sectors and return garbage.

Day 5

Day 5 gave me an excuse for unfeterred retro indulgence. Back when I was an a1200 owner, one of my favourite past times was perusing diskmags. One I enjoyed in particular was The Word by NFA. When I saw the 'Mags' directory in morphosfiles, I was intetested to see if there are still diskmags being produced. I downloaded the The Verge, from 2009, and was impressed by the quality of the production on the whole. I thought it might be fun to have a look at The Word too. This required loading up euae as it was created in Amos I believe. Very enjoyable going through these old vaguely remembered articles...and enlightening how long us Amigans have been holding out hope for a better future. Even in 1995 we felt like a highly endangered and misunderstood species.

The highlight of Day 5 was investigating whether there are any remaining Amiga BBSs. Probably the best telnet client for BBSing on the Amiga is DC Telnet, and this seems to work pretty perfectly on MOS. After a few false starts, I tried Genetic Point bbs in Finland. I was nice to have that mini surge of excitment, as you see 'Connecting' flick to 'Connected' and you know from that point you're in the carefully laid out world of a kindred spirit somewhere. Genetic Poinr is a Max's Pro BBS, which provided additional interest as I briefly ran a Max's BBS many years ago. After a brief explore, sysop chat popped up. This is where the sysop of the BBS can chat directly with you, and I enjoyed a good long chat about Amigas and BBSing with the sysop there. I heartily recommend installing DC Telnet (or SyncTerm on a pc) and giving Genetic Point a visit.

Telnet address to follow :)

Excellent. Thank you.

Thanks Elric. Will take a look. Just about able to cope at the moment but good to know the options.

Hi!

@jacadcaps: Ok for the reading wise differance! I wasn't know it and besides I can't remember a problem when ripping my collection with Ripper... Perhaps I was lucky this time..?

@Ginger1: pleasure! Just so with jacadcaps's good info... But again, I had no fail with it on memory (more than ten years)...

Good MorphOSian contiuation!

How about giving the official MorphOS SDK a go, if you haven't already?

Could try compiling some example programs, if nothing else (many compile just fine, if you just cd to directory & run make)

Good idea. Will take a look. Was planning on giving Hollywood a spin, but probably not time now to do it justice (within the Seven Day Challenge).

Day 6

There wasn't much time for computing on Day 6, with work and other commitments. In the half an hour I did have, I had another go and accessing gmail via OWB. Gmail for me and I dare say many other users is our main means of email, so not having convenient access has been one of the biggest negatives in my experiment to date. I do have gmail accessible through SimpleMail, but being able to drop into web access is useful for when I want to access my contacts and mailing lists, for example. A quick google suggested that Opera users have faced the same cookie conflict errror, and their solution was to delete the cookies. This had an affect. The error I then got was the google broken robot. Trying to spoof a variety of browsers resulted in the same problem. Hmm.

On a positive note, I installed Voxel Bird Saga and I thought it was a sensationall game. Excellent graphics and game play. The gf enjoyed it too!

Day 7

My seventh day if the MorphOS challenge saw two more serious and productive uses of MorphOS. Firstly, I needed to go through a set of a few hundred photos, and identify a subset for printing. I loaded up ShowGirls and pointed it at the photoset. This was able to churn through the large collection quickly, giving me a convenient set of thumbnails on the screen to work with. My task was fairly simple, and it's clear ShowGirls is a feature rich photo tool. I will definitely use it again when I need to, and take time to learn it properly. One small criticism is the name/default icon. It's humorous but perhaps doesn't add to MorphOS's identity as a serious future OS. Perhaps I'm being too harsh.

I also installed the 3.10 SDK which was a very simple process. I was able to compile one of the example programs as suggested, and am looking forward to exploring it more fully. I've done a bit of recent C programming, so keen to practice a bit more MorphOS.

My final conclusions to follow!

MorphOS Storage

It takes some time to get used to it and maybe we could use links to understand our problem with OWB.

This was my intention

Thank you for the tip. Now able to check webmail on MorphOS :)

Well done man

"Links runs in graphics mode (mouse required) on X Window System (UN*X, Cygwin), SVGAlib, Linux Framebuffer, OS/2 PMShell, AtheOS GUI"

Is that possible MorphOS too ?

Quote:
Yep, there's already some SDL support but it's wrapped.

It's strange. I can log in into Gmail just fine without spoofing.

[EDIT] Did some testing and posted it here

For example I want to install Griboullis paint program but I found program only and no dipendencies on Yomgui site!
So to avoid any problems I used Grunch to install it, even if I hate Grunch as I want to control myself where to put any program, libraries and assigns I need to do.

It's no mirror site as yomgui.fr never had any webspace but was just a redirection domain (see 2nd link in comment #27).
