LAG 6 date confirmed
Sorry for the late announcement, but we've had to do a bit of re-planning. LAG 6 will take place at the usual venue, Lincs Chamber of Commerce, Outer Circle Road, Lincoln, on August 11th 2007. Please nothe this is the *second* Saturday in August, not the first, as MacMiga is away over the first weekend.
EFIKA at LAG 5
MacMiga will be bringing along his new EFIKA board to LAG 5 and will (if i can get Linux to install) hopefully give a demo of the EFIKA in action. He will also be fielding questions etc. about the board and it's features.
UPDATE: I can confirm this will be a goer as I have just got it up and running with Debian Linux. Thanks to the guys at Genesi and bplan for their speedy work fixing the Debian install Kernel for EFIKA!
LAG 5 Reminder!
Reminder to all members and/or LAG attendees that the fifth LAG meeting will be held on SATURDAY June 4th at the Lincs Chamber of Commerce, Outer Circle Road Lincoln. We will be starting around 11:30-12:00 hopefully.
LAG 5 Date Confirmed
LINCS AMIGA GROUP have confirmed (well as well as one can) that our next meeting will take place on June 2nd 2007.
We will be meeting at our usual venue at the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce, Outer Cirlce Road, Lincoln. The meeting will start at 12pm as per usual and will go on until 5pm-ish, with a meal afterwards for those who are able to stay.
LAG 4 Report – finally!
Yes, I have got around to it at last. What with dying of various ailments (colds, hayfever etc...), work (and its associated effects) and then shooting off to London for 5 days, I haven't had a chance to make up any decent excuses for not writing the reports!
Still, here we are. LAG 4 went really well, probably our best meeting yet computing-wise. We managed to get 4 Amigas online via the events wireless thanks to Gaz and Mark's efforts in wrangling with the network and Miami respectively.
We were able to take a quick look at the second beta of the Sputnik web browser for MorphOS (coming soon to OS 4?). It's definitely work in progress but it's getting there!
There were plenty of Amigas of all types, displaying the usual wide array of games, applications and utilities, including 3D rendering, Web Browsers and classic games of Amiga time, like Speedball 2 and Seek & Destroy.
We had a great day, and can't wait to do it all again at the next meeting... speaking of which the next meeting (LAG 5) is pencilled in for June 2nd 2007. Once again we are at the Chamber of Commerce, Outer Cirlce Road, Lincoln. All comers welcome.
LAG 4 Date finalised
Sorry, I've been slacking (some LAG members are not surprised apparently ;o) ) . We have however finalised the date for the fourth LAG meeting. LAG4 will be held at our usual venue (LINCS Chamber of Commerce, Outer Circle, Lincoln) on April 7th 2007.
LAG 3 Reminder!
Reminder to all members and/or LAG attendees that the third LAG meeting will be held on SATURDAY of this week at the Lincs Chamber of Commerce, Outer Circle Road Lincoln. We will be starting around 11:30-12:00 hopefully, weather permitting - looks cold and wet for the Lincoln area but not like snow as far as we can see.
LAG 3 – What’s On? (Updated)
Just to let you in on what may (or may not!!) be happening at LAG 3 so you have something o look forward to, here's a rundown of some stuff expected to be at the show (subject to change without notice - we're only human):
MacMiga's Amiga1500 - Currently in a bit of a state worse than China, but getting better, I've been having mysterious disk and RAM problems. Robert17 and I will have it apart all over the table at LAG 3 trying to diagnose it. Robert17 also wants to test his GVP 2060 (yes a 68060 for the Amiga 2000 - neat huh!) in the machine as he is having motherboard compatibility issues with it on his older Rev 4.x board.
MacMiga's Ultra600 Project - Amiga 600 meets Mac, this is proof that the A600 can be made into a serious desktop Amiga! More HERE.
Robert17's AmigaONE XE G4 - Currently I have this on loan, but I'll be handing it back to Robert at the meeting. It'll be fired up and on show for all to see running the Final Release version of Amiga OS 4.0.
rockape's uA1 G3 - Hopefully, with luck and a following wind, MacMiga may be performing an OS4 Final upgrade for all to see (having practiced in controlled conditions on Rob's A1XE).
gaz_god's Pegasos(s?) - Gaz will have his Pegasos with MorphOS running at the meeting, as ever. The Peg's presence at LAG 2 was notable by the fact Gaz spent half them meeting playing Duke Nukem 3d 
. Gaz has informed me he hopes to run a demo of the prerelease version of Sputnik, the CSS enabled web browser for MorphOS.
LAG3 Date Update
LAG's 3rd meeting date has now been confirmed as FEBRUARY 10th 2007 (NOT the Feb. 3rd as was provisionally posted). The meeting will take place at our usual venue at Commerce House, Outer Circle Road, Lincoln.
