Be social with ROUGOL – 19th June
Taking a break from having formal speakers, the next RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) meeting – which takes place on Monday – will simply be a social event, allowing people to get together for a bite to eat and a drink, and to discuss all things RISC OS.
Read MoreCome and see Archimedes Live in London!
No, not a zombie from Ancient Greece – it’s an online emulator! If you want to run RISC OS software on another platform, such as Windows, there are a couple of fairly obvious choices with RPCEmu and VirtualRiscPC – but they aren’t the only choices you have. Another is Arculator, first written and released by Sarah Walker just over two decades ago, with the latest release (2.1) appearing just under two years ago.
Read MoreBen Finn discusses the history of Sibelius with ROUGOL
Sibelius was a music notation – or score writing – package, allowing people to put music to paper (via the screen) in much the same way a writer might use a word processing package. Named for Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, the first version was released in April 1993 – thirty years ago this month. The software went on to become a killer application for RISC OS, putting the operating system on the map for musicians, with some even buying RiscPCs just to run Sibelius – including institutions such as the…
Read MoreUp periscope! Nemo to navigate Nautilus up the Thames
An obvious reference like that is impossible to resist – sorry! The next meeting of the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) will take place on Monday, 20th March, and the guest speaker will be telling us how his submarine, Nautilus, is controlled via RISC OS. Wait, what? No, okay, then. The guest speaker will be Nemo20000, rather than Jules Verne’s fictional captain Nemo. ‘Our’ Nemo doesn’t have a submarine, but he does have some interesting RISC OS things to talk about.
Read MorePreviewing the Southwest Show with ROUGOL
In a very last minute (well, last day) announcement, the details of the next RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) meeting are now available. This evening – yes, tonight (20th February, 2023) – there will be no formal speaker and instead the group will be discussing the very rapidly approaching Southwest Show.
Read MoreTo be and not to be – RISC OS Developments at ROUGOL
Whether ’tis nobler in the pub to imbibe. Or something. The next RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) meeting will be another hybrid meeting, with both a physical presence at the group’s regular venue, and an online one – but with an added twist: There will be two guest speakers for the evening, and one will be appearing in person, while the other will be at the other end of an internet connection.
Read MoreROUGOL’s plans for early 2023
World domination not on the cards – just some meeting information. With all the shenanigans surrounding the tail end of the year out of the way – Christmas, New Year, hangovers (lots of hangovers, probably) – details of some of the first few RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) meetings of 2023 have been released.
Read MoreDock your Cobra Mark III in London – 21st November
If you’ve ever played Elite – which is probably almost everyone in the Acorn and RISC OS spheres1 – you’ll probably find the next RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) meeting an interesting one, with Mark Moxon visiting the group as the guest speaker.
Read MoreROUGOL taking a trip out of this world
These are the voyages of the user group ROUGOL! Had circumstances allowed it to go ahead, the London Show this year would have taken place on Saturday, 29th October. However, things being what they are, the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL), who organises the show, had no choice but to cancel the event. As an alternative, an extraordinary ROUGOL meeting has been arranged for the same day – and it is an extraordinary one; so much so that it’s positively out of this world, with the group boldly…
