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 ...

Reminder that the London Show is this weekend

There is a StrongHelp manual for using the GPIO module. I think it (module and help file) is in the standard RO Pi disc image, but if not get it from here - http://www.tankstage.co.uk/Software/ There are several threads over on the ROOL forum about using GPIO, e.g: https://www.riscosopen.org/forum/f...

Feltham's spitting distance away. Will there be a bar?!

The hotel bar is only one floor down from the show rooms and should be open from midday

Bryan.

I'm at Ada Lovelace Day Live at The IET in London

Welcome, and err, see sig!

Bryan.

Three weeks to go until this year's London Show! The StarDot exhibitors we have so far are Tricky, RobC and Jim Russell (with his "Beeb" running RISC OS). Anyone else want a stand to show off stuff? Everyone else come along for for the fun! Play with some robots, hear how the University of Cantabria...

You haven't missed the second Tuesday of the month, though?

Yes, the next meeting of SROUG is on Tuesday 8th October - https://www.riscository.com/2019/news-n ... h-october/

What options did you select when using HForm 2.71? It will probably default to using new format with long filenames, which RO3.1 won't understand. I've never tried but I would expect that if you pick old format, old directories, short filenames, then even the latest HForm should produce something re...

Hotel booked. I'll be there Friday to Sunday, only need half a table.

A table please, Saturday to Sunday (maybe Friday)

But will need a lift from the station if flibble doesn't make it on Friday!

This year's RISC OS London Show, hopefully with added ABUG meetup, is taking place on Saturday 26th October 2019, at its usual venue of the St Giles Hotel, Feltham, TW14 9AD. Entrance is £5 with under 16s free, open 11am-5pm. http://www.riscoslondonshow.co.uk/ Cost for an ABUG stand is just your ent...

After the recent thread looking for a speaker at the Wakefield user group, I thought I'd bump this request!

There must be someone in the London/southeast area who could come along and talk Beeb?

Bryan.
