Oct 282016
 

A new version of Organizer, the – no, THE – personal information manager for RISC OS, will be launched at the London Show, which takes place tomorrow. The headline feature in this new version is the ability to password protect the application, and to encrypt your data – adding a level of data security that those wishing to access their data from a cloud-based storage location.

Offering a good level of flexibility, a passphrase needed to run the software can be set in Choices, and encryption is a second option, which can be applied to the data in some or all of the various sections.

Show report: Southwest 2016

Mar 282016
 

If I’d finished this two days ago, there might have been a 28 Days Later movie reference here! Oh wait, there still is!
