User contributions have picked up now, after I stepped on my soap box and asked all of you to contribute more. Thanks. Tonight, I implemented a few minor modifications in the comments script, and did a loading-time analysis, discovering that ANN has become really lightweight, at about 38k for the main page, compared to amiga-news.de's 73k or amiga.org's 85k. Please discuss. :)

| [Motd] Stepping on my soap box | ANN.lu |

In three days, no article and only one or two comments have been posted on ANN. While I am still committed to ANN, it's getting increasingly difficult to find contributors, sponsors and visitors, and over the past months and years, I had to re-evaluate my view on more than one of these aspects. My job guarantees a certain financial independence, but evening courses further restrict my free time. As such, there is no way ANN can survive without user interaction.
In other words, ANN requires news submissions on all topics Amiga, and a community to discuss whatever is going on. The site needs to reach the largest possible audience in this niche, and as such I will be working on centering the site around the content, not any pretty pictures.
If I haven't been clear enough already: Please participate! Submit news items. Write articles. Suggest polls. Report bugs. Spread the word about the site. Do whatever you think is necessary to make this site a likeable and liveable virtual home on the Internet for all things Amiga (and beyond)...
I'm stepping off my soap box now. Now is your turn. :)

As you might have noticed, I modified the appearance of the navigation bar. Other changes were made on the search page and in the poll script. But most importantly, the main page now displays "Unmoderated" news items by default. I feel this is a better choice than no updates for days (or weeks, perhaps).

I realised that in the short term, it would be better to create a quick fix for the 1,000,000,000 second misbehaviour in ANN's scripts, rather than wait for a complete rewrite to fix the conceptual mistakes I made in the v2 revision. As such, ANN is fully online again after a week of inactivity, and in the future, I will be working on the v3 scripts in my spare time without affecting ANN's normal operation. As for a progress report, I'm afraid I'm already behind schedule, but I suppose these things can happen in a one-person project... Please discuss. :)

| [News] CNN mentions Amiga Inc... as "Australian company" | ANN.lu |

In an article titled Great ideas, bad timing, CNN talks about the Amiga's past, and says:
Surprise: The Amiga isn't dead... technically. Although Commodore is defunct, an Australian company called Amiga Inc. is still updating the Amiga operating system and has created specs in hopes of finding friendly manufacturers to release the first new Amiga hardware in six years. A small but loyal fan base of Amiga nuts is holding its breath.

The latest issue of German Amiga Plus magazine carries an article about an Amiga emulator based on QNX, to be sold by Haage & Partner. Follow the link to the (not yet active) product homepage.
So now we know what that "mystery emulator" (aside from Amithlon) was about.
I cannot keep myself from wondering, why do things we waited years for always reach market from several sources at once (PCI boards, fast emulators...)?
