Ladies and Gentlemen...

As suggested I'll make a small presentation of myself:

My name is Alfkil Thorbj?rn Wennermark, I'm a trained classical violinist, but nowadays I spend my time mostly playing jazz and "fiddling" with computers (mac and amiga). I'm 28 years old and live in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I've been particularly interested in programming ever since I purchased EasyAMOS back in the days. My primary interest is construction of games. I've never released or uploaded any of my creations, I seem to have a hard time finishing things. My most interesting creation has probably been a 3D "tennis on a stick" simulator (I don't know what 'stangtennis' is called in english?). One of my big dreams is to someday be able to actually create something of use to the community :). For this reason I have now started porting the Qt package to Amiga OS 4.1. Actually I have no real sense of how many people would be even interested in such a project, and I seriously doubt, that I'll ever finish it...

My machines:
A500 + A1200 in tower w BPPC603/BvisionPPC (both in my closet)
SAM440ep-flex 667Mhz, 1GB RAM, Radeon 9250-128mb (used as often as possible!)
and an old iBook G4 for everyday use...

Oh and by the way (and slightly off topic): If you are interested in music, please visit the page of my string quartet

Hi and welcome. With Qt i think you mean Quicktime ? It yes why not. Would that mean we could someway check movie trailers from apple page ?

@Kicko

Nope, not Quicktime. Please visit http://qt.nokia.com to investigate.

@alfkil

Welcome may i suggest a game you could create: "Violin hero"

@alfkil

Hi,and welcome to the party
Good to see more scandinavians. Soon we will rule the amiga land again.

@alfkil

Welcome!

I think you are referring to "Swingball".

@alfkil

Nice sounds from the quartet!

@Kicko

LOL! Qt is a popular GUI toolkit used in KDE :)

We also need wxWidgets.

Welcome aboard!

Well, I guess it will be better than, uhm, "Viola Hero", or, say "Sousaphone Hero" or "Contrabas Hero"...? Hmm... Or how about "*CONDUCTOR HERO*"...? (Labeled 'the easiest game ever!')

@alfkil

Welcome. That's quite a task that you've set for yourself. Qt is a big library.

@alfkil

Qt? Wow!
Good project

@alfkil

Its always nice to hear about other OS4 users like myself who have returned to using Amiga OS4.x thanks to the sam440ep boards.

They get quite a bad press from some parties for being underpowered and over priced, but for me the sam440ep is the base for very nice silent small form factor computer, that both allows me to do real work and listen to my music without being too loud or imposing.

Thanks to the rdesktop client, an ssh client, AmigaAmp , OWB and netsurf my sam440ep and OS4 now get about the same amount of use as my laptop and more use than my desktop PC (mainly used to play GTA4 and other games). As an added bonus it also runs some of my old favorite Amiga applications including ImageFX4, DirectoryOpus (OS4 version), CygnusED5 (OS4 version) and Photogenics so I am a happy sam and OS4 user.

I hope you enjoy your stay here and enjoy your new Next generation Amiga as much as the rest of us returning Amiga users who have not been put off buy the price of joining the club.

@alfkil

On Behalf of the Amigans.net Staff, Welcome

Thanks for the welcome all

@Hans:
As a matter of fact, I do a fair bit of conducting myself, so it's ok! 8-P
