Field Note #6 @naquaada 2008-01-09

The most posts are coming from a moon near Jupiter so it seems - it looks that here're a lot of people from Europa in here
Also it seems that the last OSx86 images all came from the eastern side, Hungary, Turkey, Eastern Germany Wasn't Maxxuss from Russia?

BTW, I also want to say that it's great to have a real AMD Leopard forum. We AMD users are often left behind after the Int*l geeks.

Nice! If you've been getting the weather that we've been getting this week, then life is good.

Field Note #66 @nfoav8or 2008-07-12

Field Note #67 @dragonspeed 2008-07-16

Pilar, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Here is winter but we have now, incredibly 22ª C at night,
last year arround these days it were snowing (which did't happened here for arround 80 years)

Field Note #68 @naquaada 2008-07-17

There weather gets weirder all all over the world. Much more huge storms in Asia, smaller Tornados in London and Berlin, burning forests in the USA, extremely dry periods in Spain and some east-european states, huge inundations in India and at the Missisippi. This will become even worse the next years.

I'm living about in the middle of Germany and we had this year in the whole winter (december - march) altogether one week a bit of snow. But this is really no fun. If you think it over, the kids of next generation will maybe only know from tales that it snowed here earlier. That's kinda frightened.

Field Note #69 @hellknight 2008-07-17

Kia Ora, Haere mai, Ko tenei te mihi atu ki a koutou katoa o te ao.

I was born and raised in Christchurch, New Zealand, currently in the United Kingdom, soon to go back to the homeland! (55 days to be exact )

Sounds more like the UK! The weather in NZ is pretty stable (In the south island anyway).. If you wake up and its sunny, its generally sunny all day, same for rain, you know exactly whats happening! Don't get me started on UK weather haha, short winter UK days and lots of rain. Do not want. :

Field Note #78 @naquaada 2009-05-01

It seems like this, but we never made a meeting. I'd like a real OSx86 convention somewhere, C64 and Amiga users have large regular meetings in Europe.

@naquaadaIt seems like this, but we never made a meeting. I'd like a real OSx86 convention somewhere, C64 and Amiga users have large regular meetings in Europe.

We NEED a convention sometime, I will certainly come OSx86Con

@NebKiwi: I've always wanted to visit New Zealand. I'll certainly visit your beautiful home country when I have the chance to.

well, if your ever in Christchurch when I'm around, I'll put up you up a few nights... Christchurch is the best part anyway, not that I am biased!

Field Note #80 @Valentine 2009-05-01 ↳ Re: @naquaada
@naquaadaC64 and Amiga users have large regular meetings in Europe.

C64 and Amiga? That was way back in time when I started. So yes, lets do a convention for Mac OS X Hacintoshes according
to the C64 and Amiga scheme. Lets all meet when Mac OS X Hacintoshes are outdated by 15-25 years.:)
"The 2025 Mac OS X Hacintosh convention."

I'll record a holographic home move of it then...
On my mobile phone, with the 20 terabyte solidstate disc built in.
