It’s now less than 3.14159265359 days away. Shaping up to be something you really, really don’t want to miss, the RISC OS London Show takes place this Saturday – 27th October, 2012 – at the St Giles Hotel, Feltham. Why don’t you want to miss it? Well, make yourselves comfortable, and allow me to explain…

Midlands Show: report and photos
By the eighth day machine just got upset. A show report had not been posted yet… Just over a week ago, on July 7th, the Midsummer Midlands Mugshow 2012 took place. This is the smallest UK show of the RISC OS year, attracting the fewest exhibitors and visitors alike, and most exhibitors tend to time their big news and releases for the bigger shows, such as Wakefield and London. As usual, I set off from the RISCOSitory/Soft Rock Software top secret underground bunker (the entrance cunningly disguised as a ramshackle…
Read MoreLondon Show videos, 2012 date officially announced
With the 2011 London Show now a happy memory, ROUGOL (the RISC OS User Group of London, who organise the show) have uploaded videos of the various theatre talks from the show. Most are available in both AVI and MPEG formats, with the latter being described as “RiscPC friendly”. In some cases there is a second, smaller AVI file.
Read MoreDate spotted in the wild for London 2012
Although there has been no announcement yet of a London Show for 2012 – which is hardly surprising since only a month has passed since the 2011 show, at which we saw the Raspberry Pi running RISC OS, amongst many other things – it appears that ROUGOL (the RISC OS User Group of London, who normally organise the London Show) may have already made the decision to go ahead with a 2012 show. They’ve posted the date of the 2012 show on their website: Saturday, 27th October, 2012.
Read MoreWakefield 2012 Announced
About a month has passed since the last RISC OS Show, held in London, and everyone should by now have had a chance to recover – and begin thinking about the next show. This would normally be the South West Show, which is followed within a month or two by the Wakefield Show. Sadly, no South West Show has yet been announced – and if it doesn’t go ahead, then that will be a great shame after the success of the last one, at which the ARMini was first shown…
Read MoreThe better late than never London Show 2011 report
In the run up to the London Show on October 29th, and in the days since, things have been somewhat hectic for me, so I’ve only now had a chance to properly go through my pictures – which, as tradition now dictates, are not very good. I’ve selected a few and edited them into something usable, though, and present them below with my comments.
Read MoreRISC OS London Show 2011 – Preview
The RISC OS London Show 2011 is finally upon us. In the morning, I will be making my way down to the hall at the St Giles Hotel, Feltham, where I’ve already set up my stand, ready for when the doors are open to the public at 11am. The line up for this year’s show includes plenty of regular faces as well as a few less regular (and perhaps first time) exhibitors, and some special treats – so let’s get straight down to business and look at who and what…
Read MoreCJE taking advance orders for the RISC OS London Show
As anyone who has ever attended a RISC OS show must undoubtedly know, CJE Micro’s tend to have a stand overflowing with goods with which to tempt punters. However, clearly admitting that contrary to popular belief they don’t use a TARDIS to transport them and their stock to and from shows, Chris Evans points out that “Whilst we will have our normal show stock and a few extras with us on Saturday we are often asked at shows for items we haven’t brought with us.”

R-Comp Interactive, who fairly recently announced that they had sourced some new 24 and 27 inch televisions that were suitable for use with the ARMini and other BeagleBoard based computers, will be bringing a selection of 23, 24 and 27 inch monitors to the RISC OS London Show on Saturday 29th October. These screens are tested to produce excellent results at high resolutions on a variety of computers, including R-Comp’s ARMini and RISCube ranges, BeagleBoards, PCs, and also older computers with an analogue output such as the IYONIX or A9home.…
Read MoreThe 2011 RISC OS London Show looms
Hopefully, everyone in the RISC OS world is already aware that this coming Saturday, 29th October, is the date of this year’s RISC OS London Show, the last major event of 2011 for our little community. The show is to be held in the same venue as last year, the St Giles Hotel, Feltham, with doors opening to the public from 11am, and remaining open until 5pm.
