Wow i’ve only just seen this.
Was this advertised on facebook?
I’ll try and pop by for a look and chat as I live in Bristol about 10 minutes away.

I couldn't see a Facebook event for it, so I just created one in the Acorn group.

Hopefully see you there

Bryan.

Great, look forward to seeing you

I've also just had a call from someone saying they are bringing along some equipment that they don't think anyone will have seen before. Mysterious!

Looks like we will have a couple of Masters along, with MMFS, Gotek, BeebSCSI, VideoNuLA and PiTubeDirect.

Plus we will have BeebEm on Windows, B-Em on Linux, and of course BeebIt on RISC OS!

So there should be plenty of ways to play your favourite game

Bryan.

Shame you cant make it Tricky

Reminder to everyone else that this is tomorrow! Come along and join in the Beeb love

Bryan.

Welcome to the forum!

Although it's Beeb focussed, you might find some help at the next ROUGOL meeting

Bryan.

I'll be at the SW Show representing ROUGOL and generally encouraging everyone to visit their local user group (or set one up!).

Bryan.

Shame you can't make it Kieran, but hopefully others will chip in instead.

Judging by your thread about Archimedes development, you'll soon have your own ROUGOL slot anyway

Bryan.

At February's meeting of the RISC OS User Group Of London we are going back to our roots, as StarDot's very own jbnbeeb is coming along to talk all things Beeb. BBC Micro Lives, presented by Jason Nicholls Monday 17th February 2020, 7.45pm The Duke of Sussex , upstairs in the Chichester Room 23 Bayl...

I wanted to ask this over at the ROOL forum, but I've given up trying to log-in over there! The "trick" to logging in to the ROOL forum is to always go to the top level page https://www.riscosopen.org/ and click on Log In from there, before then visiting the forum pages. If you've already been to t...

At least it's the Beeb version of Elite.

And they used the Beeb font for the "ELITE 1984" caption, so someone who did the design of that stamp knew what they were doing

Andrew Conroy has released some software using GPIO from BBC BASIC. They might be useful to look through for inspiration.

At the end of the last ABUG, there were a considerable number of snacks left over. I had indicated at the time that I would keep these and bring them to the next ABUG. For various reasons, I now realise that is likely to prove impractical. You've eaten them all? :lol: I've still got the pack of sug...

our puppy Phoebe..

Is she yellow?

Have a look at this thread - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13440

It was only a couple of years ago that there were lots of requests on here for some ABUGs in the south because they were all up north!

As JudgeBeeb said, it just needs someone to find a venue and organise it. (personal request, try to make it near a station!)

Bryan.

Welcome, and keep enjoying your RISC OS tinkering!

Welcome!

Looks like im going to have to buy a pc to do that then, which I havent done before on principle before as im chained to one most days!

A Raspberry Pi would do the job. You could even run RISC OS on it to keep the Acorn vibe going

Bryan.

Hotel booked (what a bargain!), please can I have half a table for all three days.

Bryan.

PM sent.

Found this excellent Mandelbrot running demo program in my collection and couldn't see it online anywhere. Thanks to DanielJ for archiving it at ABUG tonight. It was written by Chris Reynolds and originally distributed as "Careware" to raise money for MIND, so if you like it, maybe consider giving t...

The videos of the show theatre talks are here - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdbtoCQ_z-HHKeyOJtSbWgaxXR6b9ZT0r I particularly recommend the University of Cantabria's talk about using RISC OS to teach low level ARM coding - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AT5TnfUgxs&t=1s Would've liked to ...

Welcome!

I was going to suggest asking on the JASPP forums, but I see you've already done that

I have a BBC Master 128 for sale. It is a standard machine with no upgrades installed and with only light usage. It has had a dust cover on it all the time so is in good clean condition. Caps have NOT been replaced (but it hasn't gone pop yet while I've been testing it!). IMG_20191113_025201.jpg Col...

I should be able to do this.

Thanks. Will give you a call on the day when we are getting close.

If we get our timings right, MattH and I will both be arriving at Fleet station at 15:18 on the Friday. Can someone give us a lift to the hotel?

Thanks,
Bryan.

The recording of Chris Cox's talk at ROUGOL is now up on YouTube - https://youtu.be/ULiSi2-E8-M

Enjoy!

Anyone who wasn't able to attend this talk at ROUGOL might like to know that Chris Cox is doing it again at the Wakefield user group on this Wednesday, 6th November.

See this post about some EPROM stuff on the show charity stand - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=18146

I've been sent an email about some old EPROM programmers/testers that someone is bringing along to the London Show for the charity stand. As this looks like quite niche stuff I thought I'd mention it here. If anyone wants it who can't make it to the show, we (well, Flibble!) could grab it and bring ...
