Conversation time again with ROUGOL – 16th October
Tonight at 7:45pm, the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) will be holding their October meeting – and for the third month in a row it will be one for members and other attendees to have a general chat about all things RISC OS, anything related, and probably a lot that isn’t as well. This is because, like last month and the month before, it hasn’t been possible to arrange a formal speaker for the meeting.

Read MoreTime for more conversation with ROUGOL – 18th September
Like last month, it hasn’t been possible to arrange a formal speaker in time for the next RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) meeting, so the group is once again setting the evening aside for general chat on all things RISC OS and related – and possibly beyond.

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.
