It’s not only Smarties that have the answer – ROUGOL does too! If you want to know what happened at last month’s Wakefield Show, a reasonable approach would be to read the RISCOSitory report – but I haven’t written it yet. The workload here in the bunker is such that the report is still to be written for the earlier Southwest Show – so the Wakefield one might be a while. You could also look at the videos of the theatre talks, but apart from one, I haven’t even watched…

Read MoreNews nybble: Southampton meeting tomorrow night cancelled
The meeting scheduled and announced for the Southampton RISC OS User Group – which would otherwise have taken place Tuesday, 9th May (tomorrow night) – has been cancelled. It appears that the venue has made a double-booking, and the room used by the group is therefore unavailable – so any RISC OS users who make the mistake of turning up will be joining an event concerning something else entirely. Organiser Andrew Conroy says he will try to arrange an alternative date, and let everyone know as soon as possible.

Read MoreNews nybble: London meeting reminder – Monday 17th April
With it being the Easter weekend, and with the RISC OS User group of London‘s next meeting taking place tomorrow evening, the group has sent out a reminder. The evening’s speaker will be Chris Gransden, talking about his efforts porting things from Linux to RISC OS – with Otter Browser being one of the most notable ports to date, as well as arguably the most important. And since the meeting is less than a week before this year’s Wakefield Show, it’s an opportunity to discuss the show with other like…
Read MoreSouthampton meeting – 11th April
No bunnies were harmed sent on their holidays in the arranging of this meeting. If London on the Easter weekend is still too daunting for you, the next Southampton RISC OS User Group meeting will take place six days earlier, on Tuesday, 11th April. However, this doesn’t coincide with any public holidays and is a normal working day, and there aren’t as many famous tourist attractions in Southampton as there are in London anyway. Readers could therefore be tempted to conclude that I’m just using the London meeting as a…
Read MoreCome and see the Easter Otter at ROUGOL on 17th April
The Easter Bunny has taken a year out to travel the world. One of the most notable ‘problem areas’ for RISC OS is the web browser situation. NetSurf is an excellent piece of work, but it still has a long way to go to get us to the point where we no longer need to switch to another system in order to perform some web-related tasks, and the developers have to fit their work on the browser around their normal lives and commitments. Step forward, then, Chris Gransden, who brought…
