PureBasic Forums - English

Ahh, it`s all slowly coming back to me now..
SDS, didn`t they do the MUI and TCP command libs for Blitz Basic all those years ago? allowing me to banish all that nasty gadtools stuff.

quite a few odds and sods we used to do... it was mainly silly little apps/games from us, MUI stuff was something loki loved, then there wasScalos that we took over from stefan somerfield(sp) Our Dave (tinman) did a fair bit on the project. Hehehe, that was something I was supposed to work on and actually ended up not doing a lot with at all. I partly blame my amiga for dying, but in all honesty, I was tooo damn lazy . I lost interest in programming really... I got fed up with the whole Amiga getting bought and sold bullshit and programming for the PC was something i never enjoyed. I played with Blitz for a while in its PC flavour, but it just wasn't for me PB on the otherhand is kind of interesting, dunno whether I'll get bored with this too... I just need something to make programming feel fun again . I miss the simplicity with the amiga... hell, assembly language was fun on it for gods sake lol... X86 asm on the otherhand is NOT something i enjoy.

hahaha, sorry for this topic going soooooo off topic, feel free to move it if required (obviously directed at a moderator)

Hmm, do seem to remember you getting banned a fair bit from IRC, but then I wasn't in that very often. Haven't heard from Gadge since MSD went down the pan, although I think he and Loki were going to try to code it in BlitzPC.

Jurgen Lachmann did far more work on Scalos than I did. Most of the translation into C and all the new features.

I've still got all the crap (including mental scars) I collected during the time in SDS (MSD demo/files/code, TCP library and probably the MUI stuff on my Amiga). Pretty sad but I'm a hoarder :)

PS, Doobrey - gadtools rules! ;p

Lol.. you kept telling me that on the Blitz list, blooming luddite

I`d like to say a big thanks to the SDS guys for the work they put into the Blitz libs, I`m still using them.
