Why do you call your News a Blog?
What Trevor is doing is a blog.
What hyperion is doing is just some short news and this has nothing to do with a blog.
I suggest, just write some more about your daily work and so on. I would appreciate that.
Thanks

It's not unique. Troika had 5 people posting. They used a corporate account for general information. The engineer posted technical info under his own nick, as did the 2nd engineer, the hopeful distributor, the somewhat silent partner, etc. Some posts were signed, some not.

Who's "Troika" and what did he do !!!
It's one of the daft things about Aw.net, the "search function" is next to useless... You can't find out about someone unless you can find a post made by them (which aint easy either) and click on the profile link (it's actually quicker to use google and for a lot of searches on AW.net it's the only way) !!!
Anywhoo, after googling "troika amigaworld.net" I found his/ its profile (I say "it's" cos you seem to be telling me it's a company) but all it does is give you info on what looks like a very defunct website...
http://www.troikang.com/
Just wondering now who or what was "Troika" and what part did they play in Amigaland... 
PS: @ The Mods...
Could you ask people who use these "corporate accounts" (or even demand) that when they make a post they at least make it known to the members here whom it is actually speaking on behalf of the company...
Had enough of that confusion with DiscreetFX posts in the past and never quite knowing where it was Bill or Tedd I was gibbering to... 
It'd be a very simple and indeed wise thing for "corporate account" users to simply make known who is saying what when posting, instead of appearing like some individual with a multiple personality disorder or suffering from extreme mood swings...  Last edited by Franko on 02-Apr-2013 at 03:22 PM.

Someone else can certainly explain it better. As far as I know "Troika" promised to create a cheap PPC board for AmigaOS but then vanished (like many before and after) |

Troika was a "company" that claimed they had designed a motherboard to run OS4, but even after producing a DPaint block diagram and a mockup of a board that many claimed would be inoperable, they never delivered anything. Many consider them a hoax, although the guy who was behind the whole thing showed up on AWN one day with a tale of woe which may or may not have had any foundation in reality.
Funny story: somebody from Troika went to CES one year ('07 I think) and brought a PPC board from another company (UDTech) along with them. This was a board that they presented as being their own design, but that's a whole other story. The funny part is, this Troika person posted a bunch of pictures of the "Amy" aka "Panda" running in their hotel room, including one picture that showed "the Amiga Boing Ball running on Amy for the first time!" The picture showed a web browser being run under Linux connected to the Amigaworld website, with the Boing Ball icon from the site shown next to the Address input box. That's just one example of how "serious" Troika was, which is one reason why many think the whole thing was a hoax.

Completely wrong.
For starters Amy and Panda (UDtech) were 2 different boards and there were 4.

Right that's Amy05. The Panda sticker was put on the UDtech board.
Neither of which has anything to do with my example of corporate accounts. Heh.

so whats that? photoshopped image? one elses board they silscreened their logo on?(strange, because it seems to be printed under components), or is it a board they themselves hand soldered after a design template? mysterious.. |

I would imagine if it was a "working" board they wouldn't have it on a blanket that could be full of static. ;) So I would guess the old hand soldered board.

what's the rule for when you can call something a "blog"?

Urban Dictionary says: Blog - n. Short for weblog. A meandering, blatantly uninteresting online diary that gives the author the illusion that people are interested in their stupid, pathetic life. Consists of such riveting entries as "homework sucks" and "I slept until noon today."
v. intr. The act of posting to a weblog.

I have been around longer than you might expect. Too long in fact! I just didn't read far enough back in the thread to get what you were jibbering on about.  _________________ AmigaOne X1000 |

There are different definition for blogs.
But writing down some short news isn't a blog - that's for shure.
It's just news and that's it. A blog goes beyond that.
Why is Hyperion not using this blog - just for telling us what's going on, what they are doing right now - even if it has nothing to do with Amiga. It would be really interesting for many of us.
I really like the blog of Trevor. It shows that there is someone working for us, even if he writes about other things like traveling around and so on.
It is just an opportunity Hyperion is missing... that's all... _________________ Sometimes we give people a lot of credit just because they're writing nice sentences even if it isn't adding up to much. |

Stupidity, ok...
I could imagine lots of cases, where even the fastest machine available (for consumers) will lag. That means what? That all use-cases very, very badly need an even faster machine not yet available? With the development of this very special machine stalling the development of many other things, as important as your "need for speed"? I see, the new functionality is made solely for you and the "real work" 
Btw., I stay right on missing Blender functions. You need a recompile every time. So, extra work needed, more possibilities to introduce new bugs, etc. etc. No magic done by simple appearance of SMP, separated address spaces, Gallium3D. Thats exactly what I said.
Oh, and your comparison Blender vs. Cinema4D was not ok. I believe in your skills to find out yourself, why. |

The point I wanted make was to counter your intial statement, one oft made by amiga users, that no software we have can use that much CPU power. SketchBlock clearly scales with CPU poer, (as in many ways do a lot of apps, but aprticluarly those that require brute force) moderb expectations out run the old amiga base image sizes of 320 x200 with 4 bitplanes. The largest image I worked on in SketchBlock is 3000x2000 with 3 layers (an artistic weak painting of a scene on Le tarn in the south of France). That's entry level for modern platforms, but there nothing about SketchBlock that limits it, only the hardware. No I don;t new hardware just for me ( Although that would be nice )

No you didn't read very well. Quote:

For conversion from MiniGL to a gallium based mesa yes. To take advantage of further extension after that, well blender uses GL functionailty that can discover available extensions, so maybe not. Quote:

Yes, blender is allreday threaded as I said before, I don't belive a recompile will be needed to use SMP. [/quote
