Show report: Wakefield 2023
No London Show again? Read about the last Wakefield one instead! Due to circumstances beyond the control of the organisers, last year’s Wakefield Show morphed into the Wradfold show – Wakefield, but in Bradford – and this year, the show carried on in the same location, for much the same reason. It took place on 22nd April at the Cedar Court Hotel in – well, yes – Bradford.
Sine Nomine plans route from Durham to visit ROUGOL on 17th July

StreetFix 1.06 released

Wakefield beckons all RISC OS users… to Bradford
The next important date in the typical RISC OS year is almost upon us, with the Wradfold Show – that’s the official RISCOSitory name for the Wakefield Show when it takes place in Bradford – now just a smidgen under three weeks away.
Wakefield 2022 – show report
With no London Show today, it’s a perfect time to remember Wakefield! This year’s Wakefield show was a slightly unusual one for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the show was held around a month later than usual, on 21st May, rather than its traditional April slot – although you could also argue that it had returned to its original traditional month; the show started out in May back in 1996.
Navigate your way around potholes with StreetFix 1.04
StreetFix is an application from Kevin Wells that makes it possible to check up on and report problems in different postcode districts of the United Kingdom. It does this by using Wget and an internet connection to talk to a remote site, relaying user requests as necessary – and in this case, the site in question is FixMyStreet.
KevNav allows a little style in your route planning
Kevin Wells has released another update to KevNav, his application for planning how to get from A to B. It works by using Wget to relay a start point and destination to the Transport API website, retrieve the results, and display it in a window in the RISC OS desktop.
MUG Virtual Show videos starting to appear online
ALso: The Midlands User Group now has a YouTube Channel – the RISC OS MUG Zone. The inaugural virtual show hosted by the Midlands User Group (MUG) took place on 2nd July – and being an online event, it’s no surprise that the various presentations were recorded with the aim of making them available online after.
KevNav benefits from investment in public transport
Kevin Wells has spent a little time working on his route finding application KevNav, the result of which is the release of version 1.02. This update adds support for public transport when it comes to finding out how to get to your chosen destination.
