- Joomla and PHP have been upgraded to up-to-date versions (4.x and 8.x). Also, I've reduced the number of modifications to the template, so future updates are more manageable for me. The look of the page changed slightly because of that.
- The Silly Venture 2k22 Winter Edition page is finished, including a snapshot of the Silly Venture website content, my picture, and the link to Wingman's very nice party report.
- My monthly backups have had problems, and the WUDSN IDE download had to be restored; they may be partly broken. I hope I'll find the time to fix this as soon as possible.

The Fujiama 2022 started at midnight from Wednesday the 7th of September to Thursday the 8th of September 2022. It ended sometime after breakfast on Sunday, the 11th of September, 2022. I don't remember any time in my life when I've used so many different programming languages in such a short time. Thanks to prodehl, insane, R0ger, and Prodatron for many excellent in-depth programming talks. Be clever and save the date for Fujiama 2023 already: Wednesday 30.09.2023 - Sunday 03.09.2023

I've joined the ASMA team to update the website, which has been dormant and without updates for quite some years. The website has been completely restructured and updated and now offers a powerful search, an up-to-date SAP player in your browser, and exports of SAP files to different formats. More features and improvements are added continuously.
Visit http://asma.atari.org/ and dig into the sounds of the Atari and join the AtariAge thread to receive detailed updates, post your songs for the archive, or report issues.

After a long break, the following three parts of the tutorial series on Programming the Atari XL/XE are now available. This time you learn how to use POKEY to create sound effects, include Raster Music Tracker (RMT) music into your code, and obtain RMT modules from the Atari Sound Music Archive. A big thanks to Tim Tennyson, who motivated me to get back into creating the tutorials. Now that I have a proper setup with Open Broadcast Studio, it's enjoyable again.

Both packs contain a disk image in MyDos format with all Atari 8-bit releases of Silly Venture 2k20+1 Summer Edition and Silly Venture 2k21 Winter Edition. They include a results viewer, which also acts as a menu where you can directly start all releases and read the readmes. The menu remains memory resident, so you don't have to load it again every time. This makes watching the graphics entries and listening to the music entries much more fun, esp. on a real machine. These are the controls for the menu:
- Pressing any key while loading the menu takes you to the DOS shell.
- Pressing RESET in the menu performs a cold start.
- Pressing RESET in while a release is running returns to the menu, if possible.
- Further controls are displayed in the menu itself.
The downloads come with a pre-configured Altirra, which you can run with the required settings by simply clicking the "SillyPack2k20_1SE.bat" or "SillyPack2k21WE.bat" file.
