Re: [Ql-Users] Bestmalt Limited - QL Cadette and more

Hi Rich

The author gave me a copy of QL Cadette at the time of its release. I seem
to recall the A4 manual had a yellow front cover and red spine. All my QL
software is in boxes in a shed but I will see if I can locate it in the next
few days. It will probably be on a 20 year old floppy if it is still there.

Best wishes
Richard Howe (Tech)

Does anyone have a copy of the software released by Bestmalt Limited - their
best known title was probably QL Cadette?

The copyright holders have confirmed that this can now be re-released as
freeware - if only we can find a copy of the software !!

Richard,

That is excellent - it will be interesting to see what else you might 
have for the Preservation Project!!


We are still missing all sorts of titles, and foreign versions of Psion 
software - but then there are only a handful of people offering stuff 
for the project!

[Ql-Users] QLis30 live video

2014-04-08 Thread Mark Martin
I know it's probably not feasible for anyone at the show to setup live
video broadcasting of the event for the rest of the world, but a thought
has been bouncing around and I wanted to share it in case there is anyone
here with experience.

I am contemplating what it would take from a cost perspective and
commitment level for me to ship a couple of cameras and a router and
possibly a little ARM box running linux that required very little setup and
configuration.  Someone  could just set up the cameras in a couple of
spots, wire them to the home base, and mostly forget it for the duration
of the show.  I would ship a box with these lightweight items, someone
would set them up at the show and keep a weathered eye on them, and at the
end of the show, I'd pay return shipping.

The setup would probably only need a single wired ethernet, permission to
run a private wireless LAN, and just a little bit of web gui time to setup
the box.

Shipping costs aside, sound feasible?  Has anyone seen this done?

Obviously the later in the year, the more the risk of weather disruption.

Thanks for the reply.

One of our considerations is that Edinburgh is a tourist destination. If 
we hold the event too early it could be too busy and hotels too expensive.


October might be possible,

Best wishes,

My weather concern was for later in the year, but yes, I agree.

October 3rd is a holiday over here - Might well make a long week-end in 
Scotland for one or the other here in Germany. 
But that would also mean flights are more expensive. 

There’s pros and cons everywhere ;)

From my point of view - at the moment, there has been no improvement in my
health and tests are failing to diagnose the issue.

No-one else came forward to help organise an event in Cambridge, so it looks as
though Edinburgh is the only option open at the moment.

I am hopeful I will be able to attend as a trader, but cannot guarantee that
without a drastic improvement in my health unfortunately.
