Well - I’m now approximately 2/3 of the way through the lent postings, so time for a quick roundup-type post:

  • LUGRadio Season 3 Episode 12 came out on Monday, and very good it was too. Well worth a listen.
  • Jokosher continues to move along at a fast pace. I’m continuing to contribute as much as I can, and learning a lot through it. The guys working on it are a great bunch, and it’s really coming together, and looking like it’s going to be a really great app. The plan is to get version 0.1 out by LRL06 (July 22nd), with it able to record and playback multiple tracks (where supported by the hardware), and be able to mix properly. Additionally a lot of time is being put into ensuring that we make it as usable as possible - we are roughly adhering to the GNOME HIG (Human Interface Guidelines), which should hopefully make it an app that is both simple to use, but also powerful enough for more complicated usage.
  • LUGRadio Live is now less than 4 months away, so the counter has returned to the sidebar over to the right. I am really excited about it this year - it looks like it’s going to be much bigger, and better than last year, and, let me tell you, last year was pretty damn good! Anybody who’s anybody in the Linux community should make an effort to be there. There is a reasonable contingent going down from ScotLUG, so space in cars may be available.
  • Talking of ScotLUG, the March meeting was last night, with a really good talk/discussion about using Linux/Open Source Software in an Internet cafe context, with Infrared coming over from Edinburgh to share his first-hand knowledge. Plus there are some good events coming up - Paisley Beer Festival is at the end of April, and we’re going to have a BBQ in May :)
  • My old Spectrum +2 - the pride and joy of my childhood - has now wended its way to a new home with Neuro, who I am sure will cherish it :) My old TRS-80 will be hitting ebay soon too :( It’s the end of an era…..

Anyway - that’s enough for now :)
