Finally after many months of server trouble things are now back on track, and we have a bit of an update for you just in time for the festive season:

A new article is available on os4.hyperion-entertainment.biz outlining the new and improved memory system on AmigaOS4.0. It describes the method of "slab allocators" and "object caching" that greatly reduce external memory fragmentation while keeping internal fragmentation to a guaranteed minimum and typically provides a constant-time memory allocation.

Read all about it on <a href=http://os4.hyperion-entertainment.biz target=_blank>os4.hyperion-entertainment.biz</a>

Hyperion Entertainment unveils dedicated site about the upcoming Amiga OS 4.0 for PowerPC CPU's.

<b>Edit: please dont submit anything, we are currently experiencing problems preventing your submissions from reaching us. I will let you know when its safe to start sending things in again</b>

We are currently experiencing server issues so IntuitionBase.com is running from a backup server. This means some features such as the contact form aren't working. It also means I wont be updating the website until we get things back on track, but we are still accepting submissions, so don't stop sending in all that much needed info :-)

The show takes place at Stafford Hall, Hampton Court, Westwood, Peterborough, UK on the 24th September 2005 from 1.00pm until 6.00pm. Admission is £3.50 at the door. There will be an after show party, those wishing to stay on and chat/drink will be able to order from a set menu from a selecion of local take aways. We did this so many people can get back safely if they need to but make the journey worthwhile for those who are staying over or don't mind going home late.

Highlights include:

IntuitionBase.com welcomes BITbyBIT Software Group as a sponsor of IntuitionBase.com for the month of September, please check out the excellent developer software these guys are making.

Well its only a week away, next saturday (September 3rd) we're having our usergroup meeting at the Keadby and Althorpe WMC near Scunthorpe.

All are invited. I'll have OS4 running on the A1200 and A4000, and I'll even boot into MOS if you want to see that running on an A1200.

We'll also be building up an A4000 for one of our members aswell as having a head to head game of stunt car racers.

The meeting starts at 12pm, and finishes around 5pm, then we go just down the road for a meal before (if your staying over) going back to my place for some beers.

Over the last 2 months IntuitionBase.com has transfered over 400GB of data, and let me tell you thats a lot! In the last 48 hours we have transfered 87GB of data.

So heres the thing, at the moment our coffers are empty and we could really do with some donations to help smooth things out with our hosting provider.

So please dig behind the sofa and send us in your loose change.

You'll find the paypal donate button at the bottom of the left hand menu.

Thanks in advance
