Technology news and views http://www.iconbar.co.uk/comments/rss/news1746.html Just a quick reminder that Monday Night Rougol is back for 2022 with a session on Recoding the Classics by Jeroen Vermeulen. If you are interested in programming in BBC BASIC, Python or Games, this is the session for you! http://www.iconbar.co.uk/comments/rss/news1749.html We are lucky enough to have 3 RISC OS Shows to look forward to in 2022. So if you have not made that New Year's Resolution yet, attending a RISC OS Show would be an excellent (and highly realistic one) to make. http://www.iconbar.co.uk/comments/rss/news1750.html I discovered this very cool feature in Organizer totally by accident. Just incase I am not the last person on the planet to realise... http://www.iconbar.co.uk/comments/rss/news1742.html RPCEmu is a really important piece of software to me because it allows me to turn my laptop into a RISC OS machine when I am away from home. It provides an almost complete RISC OS machine under emulation for Linux, Mac and Windows. It can run the latest RISC OS 5.28 as well as 'classic' versions. There are several Easy-Start bundles with all you need to setup RPCEmu for RISC OS. The website states the software is alpha quality, but I have found it very stable in daily use. http://www.iconbar.co.uk/comments/rss/news1737.html Some things we noticed this month. What did you see? http://www.iconbar.co.uk/comments/rss/news1745.html For your Christmas treat this year, we have an interview with Rick Murray - long time RISC OS user, blogger and now games developer sharing his RISC OS experiences. http://www.iconbar.co.uk/comments/rss/news1739.html There is no December Rougol meeting, but there is plenty to look back on and look forward to. http://www.iconbar.co.uk/comments/rss/news1744.html Mw-software has announced a new version of Artworks (ArtWorks 2.X3.01) with bring compatibility with the latest Pi3 and Pi4 hardware. The last version (ArtWorks 2.X3) was released in 2017 so great to see the software getting an update to support newer hardware. http://www.iconbar.co.uk/comments/rss/news1743.html RISCOSbits have decided we need a special weekend day for RISC OS computers which we will call 'Stonking Saturday' (quite a conservative choice of name from them) and they have a special deal for just this day. http://www.iconbar.co.uk/comments/rss/news1740.html There seems to be quite be quite a renaissance of games on RISC OS at the moment. Although Rick Murray did not have a stand, his new game was being demonstrated on several stands.
