In November, ann.lu served 674,488 successful requests, delivering about 290,000 pageviews to 38,617 distinct hosts. Compared to last month's all time high of pageviews, this is once again a 40% increase. Overall, 4.624 Gbytes of (compressed) data were transferred. 514,684 requests came from Windows-based browsers, only 70,912 from Amiga browsers (not considering spoofing). For the first time in quite a few months, I've also been able to fill both ad spots with advertisements. Now, if I could only find a way to make a few posters use more English, and less swearing, I would be completely happy with where ANN is going, even if I haven't been involved a lot lately, due to work and other commitments. So I guess this is yet another "thank you" to everybody who keeps ANN and its community going.

I don't know if other people have noticed this, but the Virtual Programming homepage is now fully online. Looking at the projects page, it appears the recent Amiga releases Payback and Bubble Heroes are now being ported to the AmigaDE. Interestingly, there will also be separate intent versions, and Payback will furthermore find its way onto the Mac.

"This is a porting of the multipurpose multiplatform library SDL (simple direct media layer), created by Sam Lantiga. This library let you create programs that works perfectly on a large range of OSs (Windows 9x/ME/2000/NT, Linux x86/PPC/Alpha, MacOS, xxxBSD, Irix, Solaris, BeOS, AmigaOS...) without any modification! The library is able to handle window/fullscreen video output (using blitter if present, also in the Amiga version), sound (with AHI in the amiga version), keyboard/mouse/joystick events, threads, audio tracks on CDs, endianness and many other things. To see what SDL can do go to the official page...take a look also for instance at the HUGE games section, many of them can be recompiled on AmigaOS with a few minutes of work! With the help of the Amiga community and SDL we'll can bring a lot of new apps and games to our beloved Amiga!" Download the MorphOS port here.
