On Castle move to Cambridge rumoured:

The present form factor of the A9 need not be the only one. I imagine that once the machine is out of beta and on general sale we might well see other, more expandable, cases marketed by someone. I doubt that the price of such will be very different from the price of Iyonix - particularly if Castle have some slack in the price to be able to drop it a little. Adjust on 400Mhz versus RO5 on 600Mhz same price? Maybe that's why Select is bot coming so fast for Iyonix. cynic on 5/12/05 2:18PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

On The story behind RiScript 5:

The biggest limitation I have come across with RiScript is that it doesn't (unlike freeware !PDF) display TrueType fonts in PDFs. Joeren has told me that this is another feature on the shopping list! cynic on 10/11/05 6:33PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

On Firefox pledgers hold onto their cash:

*In reply to SimonC* Peter says quite clearly on his website that if Firefox doesn't work then the pledge doesn't need to be paid. When, to quote Peter, I "have a version I can use" then I'll pay up quite happily. Anyway give me a break - I've been back in the country less than a day and playing with Firefox isn't on my list of priorities. cynic on 23/8/05 4:18PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

ARM Cortex-A8 port of RISC OS 5: first screenshot
An ambitious attempt to port the RISC OS Open sources to the new-fangled ARM Cortex-A8 architecture (as used in various gadgets) has produced its first promising screenshot - although there is still plenty of work to be done. However RISCOS Ltd is still grumbling about licences, claiming that a non-Iyonix ROM image from ROOL sources can't be released. Meanwhile, RISC OS Open has joined an ARM community programme to boost its profile among other developers.
