How the British security services gained access to YOUR emails. The news over the last few years has been awash with revelations about security services not only being able to ‘listen in’ on people’s communications, but that they are actively doing so, and even archiving that material. If it’s communicated electronically, there is every chance that it’s sitting in a database somewhere. For future reference. For the good of the country, and all that.

RISC OS Awards 2012/13 results
Is that a drum roll I hear? Voting closed a few days ago in the first annual awards poll to be run by RISCOSitory on the RISC OS Awards website, and the votes have now been calculated – on RISC OS, of course! In most cases, the winner achieved notably more votes than any others – and in some cases that amounted to more than half the votes. Going the other way, when it was close it couldn’t have been closer; in one case there was just one vote between…

It’s here at last: the London Show report 2013
Fanfares, please! The latest event in the RISC OS Calendar – the RISC OS London Show, 2013 – took place just over three weeks ago in its usual venue, the St Giles Hotel, Feltham. Organised by the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL), the show seemed from my point of view to be as busy and well attended as usual, though I understand the overall number of visitors was down on previous years by a small margin. Having said that, I spoke to a few people who I don’t remember…

Wakefield 2013 show report
A day at the races RISC OS event. It’s approaching the end of April 2013, and this year’s Wakefield Show has come and gone. This year’s show was the eighteenth, and was once again held at the Cedar Court Hotel, very close to junction 39 of the M1 – the same venue at which it has been held for the last few years, and where the show was originally held all those years ago. As usual, I was there to demonstrate and discuss my products, and also – in theory…
Next stop: Wakefield 2013
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to Workakefield we go!

The show is now in its 18th year, and once again takes place at The Cedar Court Hotel, Deby Dale Road, Calder Grove, Wakefield, WF4 3QZ – the show’s original venue, before it moved to locations such as Thornes Park Athletics Stadium.
Exclusive: A new interface for a new era – introducing RISC OS Rainbow
Paint the whole RISC OS world with a rainbow! There can’t be many RISC OS users who haven’t encountered a modern touchscreen device, such as a smartphone or a tablet computer – indeed, R-Comp have been selling a tablet now for a couple of years, and have made quite a big thing about it, so it’s difficult to imagine how any RISC OS user could have missed the technology. Smartphones and tablets are often very powerful computers in their own right, but – surely everyone knows – they’re designed to…
Midsummer Mug Show 2012
Come along and say hi. Notes from mummy not acceptable. It’s the afternoon of Friday the 6th July, 2012, and this will probably be the last thing I write on RISCOSitory.com for a few days. Why? Because tomorrow is the Midlands Midsummer Mugshow, 2012, which takes place at St John’s Church Hall, 205 Warwick Road, Kenilworth, CV8 1HY, with the doors open to the public from 11am until 4pm and an entrance fee of just £4 for adults, and nothing at all for children.
