Back in February, Chris Cox paid a visit to the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) – and much more recently the Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club (WROCC) – to talk about his time at Acorn Computers and Acorn RISC Technologies, where amongst other things he largely became the public face at exhibitions. For the benefit of anyone unable to visit either, a video recording of the London talk is now available to watch on YouTube. ROUGOL’s next meeting, meanwhile, will take place on 18th November, and the group…

Elesar brings WiFi solution to RISC OS on the Pi
At the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) meeting last night, Elesar Ltd‘s Rob Sprowson was the guest speaker, there to reveal a mystery new product – and having done so, the HAT is out of the bag so to speak. The product in question is a Raspberry Pi HAT (which stands for Hardware Attached on Top, and is a standard format devised by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for add-on cards for their ARM-based card). More specifically, it’s a HAT that provides a WiFi stack on board, neatly sidestepping…
Read MoreMystery new product to be revealed in London – on 21st October
Wait, the London Show is on 26th October! What’s going on? If you read the London Show preview, you’ll notice that Adrian Lees is planning to launch a major new application, with no details available as yet about what it is – so the nature of that application is a mystery. Five days before the London Show, however, its organisers – the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) – still plan to have their regular monthly meeting, and there will be a mystery new product revealed at that meeting.…
Read MoreThe 2019 London Show looms
Hang on, have I written the Southwest Show report yet? Ah, yes. What about Wakefield? Er… The countdown until the end of the Long Gap, when the RISC OS London Show takes place, has now ticked down to twenty days. It takes place on Saturday, 26th October at the St Giles Hotel, Feltham – so I hope everyone has their travel (and if necessary hotel) arrangements made, and that the show will be busy with plenty of visitors.
Read MoreRISC OS Open news at ROUGOL
Everybody chant “There’s only one Rob Sprowson!” Monday, 16th September is when the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) next meets up, and the original plan was for Elesar Ltd‘s Rob Sprowson to be the guest speaker for the meeting, at which he was planning to reveal a new, hitherto mystery product currently in development. However, in a last minute change of plans, the group will instead hear from RISC OS Open Ltd‘s Rob Sprowson, who will be talking to the group about what’s been happening at the company…
Read MoreHotel deal available for the London Show
With the London Show now a touch under two months away, it’s probably a good time to start thinking about your travel arrangements if you haven’t already done so – including whether or not you wish to stay at the hotel at least one night, rather than make two long journeys on the same day.
Read MoreSummer party in London – tonight
Party time, time runs out, everybody’s infected invited1 It’s a very last minute announcement, but the next meeting of the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) is tonight (Monday, 19th August, from 7:45pm) and because it’s one of those rare meetings for the group where there is no formal speaker, the evening is being billed as a summer party.
Read MoreRobot overlords to descend on London – 15th July
Well, their ridiculously primitive forerunners, anyway. If you’re in London on 15th July and want to get an early look at what the future could hold for the human race, why not pop along to the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) meeting which takes place that evening?
Read MoreInformal meeting in London – 20th May
The next meeting of the RISC OS User Group of London (ROUGOL) will take place on Monday, 20th May – tomorrow evening – and this month rather than a formal speaker, the meeting will take the form of an open discussion. Attendees will be able to hold general discussions about RISC OS and recent news, and undoubtedly those who were able to attend last month’s Wakefield Show will be able to regale those who weren’t with news of what they saw.
Read MoreShow report: London 2018
Just in time for Wakefield! With half of a year having passed since the London Show (and the Wakefield Show almost upon us), the RISCOSitory report is more than a little overdue – again! The usual main excuse applies, which is that it’s always busy here in the bunker, and some things have to be put off in favour of other, more important tasks. However, it is now the turn of that task to be used to put off other less important things – so here, at long last, is…
