I’m going to do something I’ve never done before, and don’t plan on doing often: recommend the company that hosts this website (keasigmadelta.com). No, it isn’t because they’ll give me an affiliate commission, because it’s not the first host to offer that (although that’s welcome ;-) ). Nor is it because it’s the absolute best […]
I’m pleased to be able to “let the cat out of the bag” about NovaBridge. It’s something I’ve been working on for a while to solve an annoying problem: backward compatibility for old Warp3D software on the Amiga computer.Click here to watch the video on Odysee.NovaBridge started after yet another discussion about how confusing the […]
I created ZitaFTP Server in part because I needed an efficient way to compile my software on one machine, and test it on another (an Amiga). This helps especially with driver development, because driver testing requires multiple restarts. Compiling everything on my Windows machine allows me to keep working even while the other machine is […]
I’m sad to announce that I’m shutting down the DIY MiniITX laptop project. At least, for now. The reason is simple: the chance of recouping the investment needed are slim, and I need to focus on tasks that are more likely to generate an in income and keep the lights on.Lessons LearnedIt’s always good to […]
ERROR This should make Amiga computer fans smile: alternativeto.net has AmigaOS amongst its list of known platforms. I discovered it while adding ZitaFTP Server to its list of FTP servers. It was nice to see AmigaOS on the list, although they seem to be missing its logo (maybe someone should send them the boingball logo). […]

Yes, it’s been a long time coming, and it’s finally here! I first hinted at there being a Windows version of ZitaFTP over a year ago. I’m a little nervous about releasing it (always am with new code), but it’s ready to go out into the wild. You can get it here (link).The Windows version […]
A beta tester recently told me that ZitaFTP Server didn’t work on his Windows Home machine. It works fine on my Windows 10 Pro machine (and also Windows Enterprise), so we suspect that it might be a Windows Home specific problem. Remote debugging is a pain, especially with Windows services. However, I only have one […]
The new USB-C power bank has arrived. So, how did it do as a battery for the DIY laptop?In brief: The power bank delivers plenty of power for the motherboard, GPU, and other peripherals It can’t deliver enough to power the LCD controller & panel from a separate outlet. Actually, it could, but would require […]
The new, slightly larger LCD panel has arrived, as has a PCIe riser plus mounting frame. Someone else warned me that multiple PCIe risers that he tried didn’t work, a good reminder that everything should be tested…The video above shows the test run using the new components. As you can see, it’s all working well. […]
