Topic: General / Feeling alone :-/

Ik ben nog steeds en RISC OS gebruiker, mijn Iyonix doet het ik heb een Beagleboard en een RPi. Op dit moment heb ik veel andre dingen ik moet regelen (o.a. twee autos door de APK krijgen) dus ik heb mijn digital leven op zij gezet. Maar ik hoop om wat meer tijd in de herfst te krijgen voor leuke RISC OS aktiviteiten.

Hei Terje, det er fint å høre at det finnes andre RISC OS brukere i Norge. Jeg hadde kontakt med Jan-Jaap i fjør men har ikke hørt noe fra ham i en stund. Jeg mente at det skulle være morsomt å opprette en RISC OS User Group i Norge. Har du lyst til å være med?

One of the slight problems of living in Norway is that Terje and I “quite close” to each other. That is, it only takes me around four hours to drive from Gol to his home town. Which is longer than it would take a resident of the Netherlands to drive from Groningen to Maastricht :)

As for the RISC OS content of my site, well with the exception of the galleries most of the rest of the site is built using my Iyonix. I also created some format files for EXIFInfo to allow jpegs to be renamed with the date/timestamp. These are to be found here http://mistymornings.net/info/exifinfo.html

Some more ‘found in the wild’:

all of which I just used without bothering to register them.

Bonjour André,

Merci de ta réponse. Je me doutais que le nombre d’utilisateurs francophones n’a jamais dû être très important. Moi-même, qui suis pourtant un peu nostalgique de l’informatique des années 80-90 (atari et amiga principalement), je n’ai entendu parler de RiscOS qu’il y a quelques mois, quand je me suis intéressé au Raspberry Pi… Et je suis littéralement tombé sous le charme! Au point d’acheter plusieurs logiciels commerciaux pour en faire ma station bureautique personnelle principale…
Sur le forum francophone Yaronet.com, un certain “nicam” serait utilisateur francophone. J’espère que ce n’est pas toi, ainsi, nous serions au moins trois :)
Qui sait, peut-être qu’au Quebec…

Cordialement

François

Bonjour François,

RISCOS n’a jamais été très populaire coté francophone. En de dehors des noms déjà cités je ne connais que:
- moi-même, toujours qui possède toujours un RISC PC et pour lequel je continue de temps en temps à développer DigitalCD et tout ce qui tourne autour.
- Gilles Damoiseaux, membre de BASS à qui l’on doir quelques excellentes démos, mais ca fait +- 15 ans qu’il est passé sur PC.

Coté néerlandophone, je crois qu’il reste encore un groupe d’utilisateurs qui se réunissent de temps en temps du coté d’Anvers.

Hah-hah… :)

The language used isn’t much of an issue for me: My fiance is American, so we speak English at home. :)

Still, it would be nice to know at least someone else in Norway (or Scandinavia) who uses RISC OS… :)

Topic: General / Feeling alone :-/

Terje…

How lucky you are… You have found a RiscOS fellow speaking your language :D

But it could have been worse for me, I could have been a Laplander ^^

Cheers

Topic: General / Filetype for RAW image files

That’d be fair enough, but WP:SELFPUBLISH doesn’t regard open wikis as reliable.

I couldn’t give a monkey’s what Wikipedia thinks. And that’s putting it mildly.

Topic: General / Filetype for RAW image files

OK, I’ve simplified the markup quite a bit, but it still requires editing in a separate application. I propose making a number of changes:

Remove Category column

However noble the original intention, this categorisation wasn’t reflected in actual usage and is now utterly confusing. What, in any case, does “commercial” mean in relation to MPEG for example?

Remove lists of applications

Explaining which program generates a proprietary filetype is useful, but listing every program that loads text files is not.

Add allocation status

It would be useful to know if a filetype has been officially allocated, or has simply been found in the wild.

Topic: General / Feeling alone :-/

Ah, I didn’t know, thanks. :)

Topic: General / Filetype for RAW image files

perhaps the answer is no

Maybe the RISC OS port of dcraw has some info (there’s no obvious mention of RO filetypes in its documentation).

Topic: General / Feeling alone :-/

Maybe not, but Stan Williams is a RISC OS user (or at least he used to be until recently).

Topic: General / Feeling alone :-/

For Norway you could try http://mistymornings.net

Nice pictures, but is it even remotely related to RISC OS…? :)

Topic: General / Feeling alone :-/

Anybody else knows any Scandinavian RISC OS user, or knows if Jan-Jaap is still active, possibly has his mail address?

I’ve just sent him an e-mail, so I expect he’ll show up here shortly.

I’d prefer the information was in some other Wiki that Wikipedia referenced or mirrored.

That’d be fair enough, but WP:SELFPUBLISH doesn’t regard open wikis as reliable.

Nice Webcam.

Thanks, Rick :-)

Oh well, in that case, time to edit!

Topic: General / How to do unpredictable USB input

I’m not so convinced. Mass storage uses DeviceFS and that works. glue.c is its interface to USB. I have a modified USB module that I’m running. How do I turn off logging to see if I have any problems? My suspicion is that a read doesn’t happen because read is already busy ie the transfer complete detection is a problem.

Hi François.

Welcome to the “feeling alone” club: I’ve been there for many years… :)

You see, I live in Norway, and I don’t know a single Norwegian person that’s using RISC OS… Back in the 80’s/90’s, we had a small community of Acorn computer users, but they’ve all moved to PCs long time ago (which I also did at the time, before returning to the RISC OS world about 5 years ago).

I used to know a person named Jan-Jaap van der Geer (a person from the Netherlands living in Oslo), but his mail address no longer works, and I have no phone number for him anymore.

Anybody else knows any Scandinavian RISC OS user, or knows if Jan-Jaap is still active, possibly has his mail address?

In any case, location isn’t that important for me, but even worldwide, there doesn’t seem to be a lot happening… That is, very little activity when it comes to general discussions, programming, etc., both at this site and the newsgroups.

Any place with more activity that I’ve missed?

In any case, being the happy owner of ARMiniX, and having started to get into studies and development once again, I’m happy as a clam, but I wouldn’t mind more people and activity in our community… :)

François, welcome to our community! :) I think you’ll find us a friendly, helpful bunch of people. :)

Topic: General / Feeling alone :-/

There is/was Jérôme Matthevet. Not sure if he still dabbles with RO or if he’s gone Linux like so many.

Still, the obvious question is where do you live (nearest big town)? There may be people nearby.

ers, in 2000 I was living in England; it’s a 13 year old statistic of subscribers rather than users so may well be lacking in accuracy.

Topic: General / Filetype for RAW image files

I’m not going to contribute to the Wikipedia page. I’d prefer the information was in some other Wiki that Wikipedia referenced or mirrored.

Like this one?

Hi

Looks like armada is dead…

Maybe, one day, I will find s.o. using RiscOS in the region where I live… :)

Topic: General / Feeling alone :-/

Let say the Dutch RISC OS community is still around 150 than the French-speaking RISC OS community is likely around 35.

Big Ben Club had 450 members in 2000.

Maybe is the only French-speaking RISC OS usergroup left: http://habett.org/armada/
