Please can you add me to the list? Thanks.

Thanks everyone - enjoyed that - hope it was of use/benefit! Here is the 'loose' schedule we agreed on for the next Dev night on Thurs 20th (which assumes someone steps forward to deliver the first 'Masterclass'! :mrgreen: ) Schedule-v1.png I'll post a sign-up thread for the session on the 20th earl...

I'll try and attend if there is space, depends on a bunch of stuff. Will be after 8pm at least.

Super - have PM'd you the login details.

There's no real limit on the weeknight sessions btw (unless we start getting near 50 participants which is very unlikely!)

Hi Dave, I'll try to join this evening.

Login details PM'd.

If anybody else would like to join us this evening please post in the thread and I'll send over the Zoom logins...

Thx Neil! Ok, I believe I've issued Zoom login info to everyone on the list so far. If more people want to sign up then I'm happy to continue issuing Zoom logins throughout Thursday daytime (and I'll try and keep an eye on the sign-up thread during the session too, in case there are any late-comers)...

Thanks Richard for the kind words, the JAFA systems talk was a personal highlight for me - John's passion and enthusiasm for all things Electron really shone through! The video is a wonderful addition to our archive!

Thanks Kieran agree with all of that. In the case of Snuggsy's queries, he did actually give me a more detailed description of the issues in relation to his Pooyan conversion a couple of weeks ago, which I forwarded to Tricky so he could have a think about what kind of response to offer in the first...

One thought I had is that perhaps there might be an opportunity for a series of ‘masterclasses’ from different people that help bring some technical knowledge to a wider audience? Essentially anything that has a chapter in the Advanced User Guide could easily have a class before you even get onto g...

I hope I may be allowed to post this (if not, will the admin please delete it)

No issues at all with posting the comparison, it's useful to see.

Perhaps if we looked at 7pm - 9pm project chat, with a presentation at 9pm? At the end of Tricky's talk at last Saturday's vABug he presented a selection of possibilities for future events - perhaps some of these could be presented at Dev sessions? https://stardot.org.uk/forums/download/file.php?mod...

Link to sign up for Thursday 6th August Games & Demo coders Dev Night #0:
Weeknight 'Virtual' Dev session #0, Thursday 6th August 2020, 7pm - 10pm

As the new games and demo coding sections of the forum are currently very active, we are launching a new, weeknight "Dev session" on Zoom, that will primarily be focused on the development of new games and graphics/music demos for Acorn computers. They will take place on a Thursday evening, on the w...

I cannot PM you

You can now - pm restriction removed

I have actually left it on the server here it just doesn't appear in the indexes.

I suppose I could upload your fixed version in place of the original (and append a -HACKED_B.uef suffix, to indicate that it isn't fully sourced from an original tape?).

I no longer have the original tape I used to create the UEF file from, but I've removed the incomplete copy from the old STH site...

Attendee list updated up to this point (30 places taken, 20 left).

Outline schedule added: the September 5th event will comprise a full day of guest talks and presentations from ex-Acorn/Acornsoft personnel.

Thanks for all the responses so far, I'll aim to update the list in the top post Monday evening. If anyone that hasn't already indicated which sessions they're likely to attend is able to update their post in the mean time (Morning / Afternoon / Evening or ALL) that would be appreciated. But as it s...

Two more talk videos now edited and online:

Thanks as always to all presenters, moderators and everyone else who joined us today, another great session with some truly spectacular presentations and demos.

Can everyone posting please indicate what sessions(s) they're likely to be around for? Or state 'all day' if you expect to be online for most of the morning, afternoon and evening sessions. Ta!
