On In brief: Acorn World show this weekend:

There's a good show report on TIB. lym on 14/9/09 4:25PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

On RISCWorld mag back-issues reprinted online for free:

> Shame on you for writing such a thing. Whoa. When did supporting RISC OS turn into a religion? Let's keep shame out of this! (By the way, I still use and like RISC OS, though I'm happy to accept this is an entirely irrational practice. Like eating cocktail sausages, or watching England play cricket.) lym on 20/8/09 4:55PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

On NetSurf on RISC OS faces axe:

It would be a real shame if this happened, but you can't blame the NetSurf guys. If there aren't the coders out there, then I guess the game's more or less up. Shame to be overtaken by BeOS, though! lym on 6/8/09 4:31PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

On RISC OS 5 port hopes for netbook now in production:

Interesting stuff. Jeffrey seems to be getting through the work at an impressive rate. Kudos to him, and the ROOL team, for making this all possible. lym on 28/7/09 8:38AM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

On Five tips for ROL over the next five years:

Fair points (and it is crazy that CTL seems so coy about commercial licences), but given the amount of money in the community (or not), I don't think we'll be seeing lawyers drafted in to alter it any time soon. I wonder if this is the best we're going to get? lym on 11/5/09 12:23PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]
