For me, at least with my AmigaOne 500, just sitting there collecting dust. I'm seriously thinking of selling it and just sticking with my classic Amiga 1200.

My first thought was some kind of drive bay...

However, there are pipes. Are you watercooling your X5000?

The printing on the CPUs look similar to some IBM Power8 CPUs that I've seen on eBay.

Looks like it has two CPU's X5000 does not have that, he used the X5000 to create this, I guess design it.

Looks like server tech! Maybe this is a commercial use for a variant of the XMOS Xorro type transputer chips?

@thread

all good guesses, but those are photos of IBM z14 processors, a small portion of which was designed using my X5000. we announced the z14 last week. in fact all IBM Z mainframes since the z196 use RAIM memory -- the encoding and decoding hardware in the MCU of which was designed on my old SAM440. every generation of IBM Z has some little something on the CP or SC chips designed in some way on one of my amigas. just for fun.

oh, and if you think amigas are expensive...

IBM only makes expensive things anymore
If only they'd make a more modest POWER9 CPU...

Nice one. Looks like you are a triple threat. Musician. Painter. Programmer.

BTW you seem a bit nervous in the painting and as if your hands could be shaking there. I know I would be if I was sitting next to Freddy Krueger.

Well seeing as everyone seems to bored over on the is it boring thread I thought I's bump my "creativity" thread.

Big chunk of my recent AmigaOS related time has been working on various projects for the Enhancer package but Matthew already posted a new item about that, so I'll focus again on my creative activities using rather than developing AmigaOS software.

Back at the beginging of May I bought a new video camera having become frutrated with the quality of sound and video produced by my phone camera. Sound recording in particular, whilst suprisingly good at lower volumes was prone to distortion at higher volume, due to lack of user setable input gain.

I bought a Zoom Q2HD which has a good quality dedicated audio microphone and most importantly manually setable input gain for clean non clipped recordings with no excessive compressions.

I've found after experimentation that it works very well with my X1000 when transfering video files, as long as plug it inot the rear USB sockets and not the sockets on the top of the Fractal Case, where it was very unstable dropping connection quickly.

Sp pro tip for x1k users, if you have USB issues on the front usb sockets try the rear ones! I supsct a power issue maybecable attanuation of something.


So the result videos: With titles etc created in SketchBlock, video edited in blender and uasio post processed in Audio Evolution.

First one really a test of the camera.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXgw-nQDTQ0

Live recording of Muddy Waters based band I play in occasionally.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HtE9f-ozjA

Two entries in my Acoustic Guitar VBlog

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3nnrVxu13c
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H392dfIudY8

This video was taken with my phone and was the video that inspired me to get a new camera as the raw audio really struggled. So I was quite pleased to improve it to a half decent standard in AE4 using carefully chosen EQ and a lot of pateince.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TENEIuBqj0U

For the last of the Acoutsic Guitar Blogs I needed some chord diagrams for the teaching elements, I really couldn't find any decet software that made good diagrams in the right format for adding to the video and with the fingering I wanted so I wrote a custom script for SketchBlock to create diagrams I could then export as PNGs and add to the video.



Speaking of SketchBlock I recently added a script for generating a Glow Icon effect to the project.

Interesting. Do you take some feature requests?
Often I download a srt file and need to remove all the html codes and save it as utf-8 in order to use it on my media player. If I had the skills I would write a tool to automate that process, but I dont know how.

Making a couple of videos recently. One is a cover of an old megademo song on a guitar. I used Seq together with external hardware to play the background. Another one is my own piece called Retro Computing. I used Seq, Sess and Looper together with external hardware to play it. Voices were made with Amiga's Say command. (I used UAE because it was easier that way, but I could've been using real hardware as well.) The latter is not perfect. I'll have to try to make it again at some other time. (I had to use iMovie to record the videos.)

Nice Diagrams. As an Amigan and guitarist is your favourite chord A7 by any chance? Perhaps you may favour D7. But nothing rolls off the tongue quite like the 68K stack register chord.

Any clips of your own animation?


I forgot about this thread and the mention of my Amiga animation. Some of you may have seen this already by now, but if not I've included the link below. I managed to finish this at the end of last year and it was a lot of fun to make. Here's the link if you are interested:
